Board or list: choosing the right view
A board emphasizes flow, while a list makes detailed comparison easier. You can use both views without maintaining separate sets of issues.

How to apply it
Open a Taskending board to look for workflow bottlenecks. Switch to a list when comparing assignees, dates or priorities row by row. Establish the filter for your question before choosing the presentation. Grouping can expose dimensions other than status.
A concrete example
During a daily discussion, a growing in-progress column is easy to notice on a board. During a weekly delivery review, a list may make dates and owners easier to compare. The choice serves the question at hand rather than a commitment to one visual method.
What to watch for
Before assuming a missing issue was deleted, check filters and project context. Too many columns or groups can hide useful information on a small display.
How to check the outcome
Open the same issue key in both views and confirm the status and owner match. Agreeing which view supports each recurring meeting reduces navigation overhead.
