This Hub provides a complete visualization of your Sprint actions on a value stream, facilitating the continuous delivery of work by defining the flow, measuring velocity, and continuously improving the process.<\/p>\n<p>With the Work Hub, you can jump-start with the default value stream (including lanes and columns) or further customize it. You can view relevant information on the work items via cards, ensure a smooth flow of work by defining WIP limits, move your work items across the <a id=\"Navigation\"><\/a>value stream via drag-and-drop, and measure your progress through analytics.<\/p>\n<h2>Navigation<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"WorkHub\"><\/a>The Work Hub is available both at the Template for configuration purposes and at the project level for execution.<\/p>\n<p>By default, the <strong>Work<\/strong> <strong>Hub<\/strong> is placed under the <strong>Execute<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n<h2>Work Hub<\/h2>\n<p>The Work Hub comprises lanes that are value streams used for managing work. Lanes are further divided into multiple columns representing the different stages of cards.<\/p>\n<p>These columns contain cards, where each card represents a work item in the current sprint. The cards can be easily moved from left to right as the work progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that the Work Hub can only have a total of 100 closed cards. You will receive alerts to archive when there are 85, 95, and 100 closed cards on the Board.<\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>Some of the key features are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visually track the progress of all work items and categorize them according to your business needs across multiple lanes and columns.<\/li>\n<li>Easily identify blocked cards at a glance, helping you focus on bottlenecks and take necessary action.<\/li>\n<li>Restrict the maximum number of work items in different stages by setting WIP limits according to your team\u2019s capacity.<\/li>\n<li>It ensures a smooth workflow and optimal efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Customize card attributes to ensure the most relevant information is visible upfront.<\/li>\n<li>My Workitems view helps you focus on your work items to work efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The card type cannot be modified once a card is added. If you need to change the card type, you will need to delete the card and add a new one with the desired card type.<\/li>\n<li>A card created on one Board cannot be transferred to another Board or across Boards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Layout<a id=\"Toolbar\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>Toolbar<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21193\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options.png\" alt=\"Toolbar Options\" width=\"2390\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options.png 2390w, https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options-768x240.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options-1536x479.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toolbar-Options-2048x639.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2390px) 100vw, 2390px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"whs2\" align=\"left\">The toolbar lets you initiate &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#ViewWorkitems\" rel=\"noopener\">Select card view &#8211; All Cards\/My Cards<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/different-views-on-execution-board\/\" rel=\"noopener\">View Selector<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#Zoom\" rel=\"noopener\">Change Zoom Level<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-manage-cards-on-the-execution-board\/#Addcard\" rel=\"noopener\">Add cards\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#Filter\" rel=\"noopener\">Filter cards<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#Maximize\" rel=\"noopener\">Expand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#AddfromBacklog\" rel=\"noopener\">Add from Backlog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/understanding-the-stand-up-wizard\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Stand-up wizard<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Refresh Board<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-apply-cardcolorscheme-on-execution-board\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Card Color Scheme<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-configure-the-card-settings\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Card Settings<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Show Zoom Level<\/li>\n<li>Show Collapse Empty Columns<\/li>\n<li>Show Expanded View<\/li>\n<li>Show Dependency View<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/working-with-card-aging\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Show Card Aging<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/collaboration\/#DisplayCardImages\" rel=\"noopener\">Show Media on Card<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/#FreezeBoardHeaders\" rel=\"noopener\">Freeze Board Headers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To learn more about the toolbar,<a id=\"Board\"><\/a> click <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/article\/how-to-use-the-toolbar-of-execution-board\/\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Board<\/h4>\n<p>The board comprises lanes that are value streams and are used for managing work.
