BetterBoard power moves
Get through Jira work 3× faster.
Ten small techniques that turn board work into muscle memory. Move faster, make updates in bulk, and make important work impossible to miss.
Move faster
Turn many clicks into one.
The tiny interactions that make everyday board work feel immediate.
Flag a card from its corner
Click the top corner to add or remove Jira’s Flagged marker. The amber corner stays visible to the whole team.
Shape any workflow
Make the board match the work.
Use the fields your team already relies on instead of forcing every board into a status-only workflow.
Create columns from labels
Turn labels such as Frontend, Backend, and Design into a visual workflow your team can move through.
Drag cards to update Jira fields
Moving a card between columns or swimlanes updates the field behind that layout automatically.
Set a due date without leaving the board
Update a card’s due date directly on the board, then keep moving through the work in front of you.
Spot what matters instantly
Let the board tell you where to look.
Turn Jira data into visual signals that are faster to scan than another filter or report.
Color cards by their data
Highlight urgent, flagged, unassigned, or customer-facing work automatically with conditional color rules.
Turn estimates into a heat map
Blend from green to yellow to red using story points, risk, confidence, impact, or another numeric field.
Build smarter views
Make one board work harder.
Create views that adapt to the person looking at them and bring separate Jira workflows together.
Make one shared “My work” view
Filter by Assignee is current user. Everyone opens the same board and sees their own work automatically.
Keep a private view of the work
Save a personal board with the filters and layout you need without changing the shared view your team relies on.
Unify different Jira workflows
Bring several Jira spaces onto one board and map their differently named statuses into a shared workflow.
Keep going
