Recommended Boards for MSPs

The Kanban boards and starting columns we recommend for project, service and specialized teams.

Legacy interface

You need to visualize your team's work ASAP, right? Here are the Kanban boards we recommend for each team using TopLeft.

For instructions on how to create boards, including a short video, see Manage Boards.

Not sure what columns to create? Just start with this simple plan:

  • New: tickets start here
  • Ready: has gone through triage/dispatch or project planning and it's ready for a tech to work
  • Waiting: next step is the responsibility of someone outside the team
  • Scheduled: next step happens at a known time in the future; there's nothing to do right now
  • In Progress: tech has started the ticket
  • Completed: done!
