A simple kanban board for your clients’ bugs and feature requests
Give clients one place to report a problem, ask for a feature and see where it stands. You keep the work moving; they can follow along without another email.
Last checked
A request you can both find again
“The checkout button does nothing on my iPhone.” “Could we add a delivery note?” Give each request a task on the same kanban board. A Bug is something that does not work; a Feature is something new. An Enhancement is a change to something already there. Each gets a reference you can use in a conversation, so the request stays easy to find.
Invite a client with the right role
Start with a team kanban board and use Add someone. Choose the suggested Reporter role when the client needs to file requests: they can add tasks and comments, and edit only the tasks they added. They cannot change anyone else’s tasks or move tasks between lanes.
Choose the suggested Client role when they only need to follow the work and comment. A Client can see the kanban board, who is on it, and comments; they can comment, but cannot add or change tasks. These are suggested roles that your company can change, so check the permissions when you invite someone.
From a report to a finished fix
- The client, as a Reporter, adds a Bug or a Feature. It lands in To Do. They explain what happened or what they would like in the note.
- You read it and ask any follow-up questions in the comments. Move the task to Next Up when you plan to work on it.
- Move it to In Progress while you work. The client sees where it stands on the same kanban board.
- Move it to Completed when it is finished, and leave a comment explaining what changed. The client can see the result and reply there.
Share the kanban board deliberately
A Reporter or Client sees the tasks on the kanban board they join. This is a shared work list, so choose who belongs on it and what you put there. There is no public sharing link. Your personal kanban board is for you; inviting clients means using a team kanban board. See pricing for the team plan.
Try it with the next request
Invite one client as a Reporter and ask them to add their next problem or idea. Reply on the task and move it as you work. They have a place to check, and you have a list you can act on. No AI is needed.
An assistant is an optional extra
If you already use an AI assistant, you can connect it later and ask it to read the requests or draft a summary. Its changes have its name on them, and its access is limited by the permissions you give it. The kanban board works just as well with people alone.
