  3. Consistent lists - Standardize across similar projects
  4. Regular cleanup - Archive completed projects

Team Collaboration#

  1. Define roles - Clear responsibilities
  2. Update regularly - Keep cards current
  3. Use comments - Discuss on tasks, not elsewhere
  4. Tag wisely - Don't over-label
