Using a board like this to visualize projects in flight, completed and planned can:

1. help ensure capacity is not overloaded.
2. assist management in making difficult choices about project priorities.
3. keep a management team appraised of progress of a large portfolio of projects.

This template was inspired by an IT director who uses Cardsmith to track and communicate all the of IT projects for a year, organized by department.
Each of the cards on this board represents a project.

If a project has a more detailed board in Cardsmith – or in another project management system, you can put a link to it inside the project card – simply copy/paste the link to the Board into a text field.
