With two methods, one can create a new board in Pronnel. Either by clicking on the dedicated button on the homepage or using the plus (+) sign button in the left-hand menu. The choice is theirs! Additionally, Pronnel allows you to create a board from scratch or utilize a template. This tutorial will focus on creating a simple board from scratch.

Step 2: Naming and Customizing Your Board-

Once you've initiated the board creation process, it's time to give your board a name. For example, let's call it "Task Management." By default, Pronnel lets you choose which views you want to display to your team members. They can later customize their views according to their preferences.

Name Your Board and Set Visibility Options

Step 3: Setting Board Privacy-

Next, Pronnel offers you the option to determine the privacy level of your board. You can choose between a private commission, visible only to board members, or an internal board viewable by the entire organization as a read-only board. For this tutorial, we will create a private board.

Step 4: Defining Your Process with Buckets-

Now that your board is created, it's time to define the process by creating buckets. Buckets in Pronnel allow you to track the progress and current status of specific items in your project. Let's make some simple steps, such as "To Do," "Ready to Start," "In Progress," "Completed," and "Won't Do." The "Completed" and "Won't Do" buckets are considered final stages, indicating that items placed in these buckets are marked as completed, and you won't receive further notifications.

Step 5: Adding Items to Your Board-

To illustrate the functionality of your newly created board, let's add an item called "My First Task." This item can be moved across different buckets as it progresses through the workflow. This allows you to visually track the status and progress of your tasks in real-time.
