I'll take care of it! I open the Project app

and create a new project.
It will be called "Bedroom Furniture Catalogue".

I then create a task for each orange post-it note using the  in the corner of each column.

To add the colors, I use the   .

 Did you know? 



This is called a Kanban view. In this exercise, the Kanban view represents a whiteboard with its steps and post-its. The columns are the steps and the tasks are the post-its.

The tasks start in the left column and then move to the next ones. This view allows you to visualize at once the steps of a project and to easily identify the status of each task.
