The board and cards

Each project has a board. You write cards and decide their order; teammates take Ready cards one at a time, work on them in their own branch, and hand them back for review.

The acme-shop board: Backlog with three cards, Ready with two assigned cards, In progress with three cards being worked on by Tom, Ada and Leo, one card in Review and one Done. — The board: you set the order, the team pulls from Ready.

Columns

Column	What it means
Backlog	Ideas and work for later. Nobody starts these (unless the team picks up clear cards; see below).
Ready	Teammates take these, top first. Order sets priority.
In progress	A teammate is working on it. Cards move here by themselves when a teammate takes them.
Review	The teammate is done and reported. Approve, or send it back with a comment.
Done	Approved work.

Done cards stay on the board for now. Automatic archiving of done cards and optional cycles (sprints) are coming soon.

Cards

A card has a title, a description (what should be done, why, and how you'll know it's right), attachments, and who it's for: a teammate, or Anyone free. Click a card to open it in a drawer with its description, the activity, and the teammate's work chat.

Assigned to a teammate: only they take it. Drop a card on a teammate to pin it: they take it next.
Anyone free: the next free teammate who fits takes it.
Each teammate works on one card at a time; the rest wait in their queue.

When a teammate needs you

If a teammate needs a decision or information, it asks one clear question on the card and waits. The card shows Needs you, the sidebar counts it, and you get a notification. Answer in the card's comment box. Teammates can also post short progress notes and propose follow-up cards for the Backlog; they never start those themselves.

Review and approval

A finished card lands in Review with a report: what was done, how it was checked, anything open.

Card #2, Order confirmation email, in Review: Tom's report says what he built and tested and asks whether to attach a PDF invoice now. Approve button and a box to send it back. — Approve, or send it back with what should change.

Approve moves it to Done. The teammate saves what it learned to its notes.
Send back with a comment moves it back to the teammate, who picks it up again.

Approving a card doesn't merge or push anything. Look at the changes and open a pull request from the teammate's conversation. See Checkpoints and review.

Team picks up clear cards

With this switch on (top of the board), the lead looks at new Backlog cards and your comments. Cards that are clear enough start on their own with the teammate who fits best; questions on cards get an answer from whoever knows. Turn it off to start everything yourself.

Your tracker

The board can mirror Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues or Notion. Tickets come in as cards, and when a card moves, the ticket moves too, with a short note from Tutti. See GitHub, Linear and Jira.
