Group board by due date

As you can probably tell from my article 🪄 Design magical tabs with group, sort, and filter! I love the grouping feature.

As I wanted to experiment with swimlanes in board view I thought I’d group by due date (as you can in the List view).

My idea was:

  1. First group (columns) by status field. Progress from left (not started) to righ (complete)
  2. Then have a second group (swimlanes) by due date
  3. Hide empty groups on due date grouping.
  4. Filter to have only (over)due tasks (due today and before today) show up.

That way I hoped to keep the flexibility of prioritising manually by having the highest priority on top, while still surfacing the tasks due soon at the top of the list.
