My Board in SimplifyQA

The My Board section in SimplifyQA functions as a personal task management dashboard — similar to a to-do list. It provides users with a consolidated view of all the items assigned to them across various modules. These items include:

• Tasks

• User Stories

• Defects

• Execution Plans

• Review/Approve Requests

This board helps users stay organized and track their responsibilities within a selected release and sprint context.

Key Features

1. View Assigned Items

   Users can view all work items assigned to them, neatly categorized by type (Task, User Story, Defect, etc.), with each showing the:

   • Title

   • Status (To Do, In Progress, Done, etc.)

   • Due Date (if applicable)

   • Priority

2. Filter Options

   You can filter the view based on:

   • Release

   • Sprint

3. Add New Items Users can quickly add:

   • A new Task

   • A new User Story

   • A new Defect

   • A new Execution Plan

   This helps streamline work tracking from a single dashboard.

4. Status Updates Users can update the status of work items directly from My Board without navigating away simply by dragging and dropping, allowing for quick updates and seamless tracking.
