This post is part of 101 ideas for agile teams.

Context

It is hard to have an overview of all the tasks on the Scrum board.

Action

Color code your task cards on the Scrum board by categories: normal task, question, found issue, blocked, infrastructure.

What you gain

Tasks with dependencies external to the Development Teams are highly visible (questions, blocked).

How to strengthen

Use a legend on the Scrum board explaining the categories.

Risks

Too many colors are confusing.
