On the right is your primary workspace, the home of your projects (called 'boards').

Crafting Your First Project/Board

Creating a new project is akin to preparing the set for an excellent performance. Hit 'New' on the top left corner, followed by 'Board.' You'll be presented with three boards: Main, Shareable, and Private. 'Main' boards are accessible to all team members, 'Shareable' boards can be extended to individuals outside your team, and 'Private' boards are your personal, confidential space. Pick what resonates with your needs.

Task Addition and Management

Time to populate your board with tasks. Hit 'New Item' within your new board and jot down your task. It's as easy as creating a to-do list. Tasks can be assigned to team members, deadlines can be set, and labels can be used for better organization.

Monitoring Your Progress

Monday.com provides engaging ways to track your progress. Utilize the 'Timeline' or 'Calendar' view to keep track of deadlines. Status columns are a great way to gauge the progress of individual tasks. The 'My Week' section offers a snapshot of your upcoming week.
