Use the Parking Lot on the Planning Board

Use the Parking Lot to add and organize tasks that the team has identified but is not ready to include in the planned sequence. Tasks in the Parking Lot cannot have hand-offs and do not contribute to the pull plan’s longest path.

The Parking Lot is a docked panel below the Planning Board that keeps unsequenced work visible without placing it on the board or in the Milestones area. Expand the panel to review its tasks, or collapse it to create more space for the Planning Board. It is hidden for Approved and Released to Work Plan plans.

You cannot add task milestones to the Parking Lot. If a live session is active, select Join Live Session before making changes.

Note You can add tasks to the Parking Lot only when you have the required Add Tasks privilege.
