Creating Your First Board

After you sign in, Stride opens your Boards page. It lists your boards and the boards shared with you. To come back to it from anywhere, click Boards in the sidebar. On a phone, tap the menu button at the top left to open the sidebar first.

Click New board at the top of the page. The menu offers two kinds of board:

• New AI Optimized Board gives you five fixed columns built for AI agents.
• New Empty Board gives you a board with no columns, so you can add your own.

You can't change a board's type later, so pick the one that fits how you work.

The New Board form opens. Type a Name for the board. It must be 5 to 50 characters long. You can add a Description too, up to 255 characters. Click Save Board to create the board.

Stride opens your new board. An AI Optimized board starts with five columns: Backlog, Ready, Doing, Review and Done. An Empty board starts with no columns, so click Create your first column to add one.

Under the board name is a row of tabs. To bring in your team, open the Members tab. Adding Team Members to Your Board shows how.
