Notes Board

Rémi, an AWS Blu Insights user, reached out to the team and shared this feedback:

Dear Blu Insights team, While I was using the To-Do feature, it felt to me like it was missing a space where I could write general board notes (not just card notes by writing in the ‘Comments’ section of a card). These board notes would supplement my to-do cards in keeping track of my project progress, and help me list the goals (and roadmap) of the board. I have attached a picture of what these board notes could look like.

For this request, Rémi answered the 3 questions we address while working on any new idea:

  • What? A space to take notes accessible from my To-Dos board.
  • Why? I need to take notes independently from my cards.
  • How? A simple board on the right side of my board.

Rémi did all the setup explaining the requirement, the actual need and a potential solution. Usually we challenge the “How” but not this time as it perfectly fits in Blu Insights.

The feature is now available in AWS Blu Insights and we already received positive feedback from other users. We have also a list of potential improvements.

Enjoy and kudos to Rémi!
