Task color

Introduction

Color-coding your tasks can make your team more productive. You can use colors to indicate the status of your work items, categorize them to distinguish between teams and departments or highlight the tasks of high importance.

Take it to the next level and manually color your tasks to fit your organization's needs. Pick from various colors and switch between the two views at any time.

Status-based colors

Use this option to display the status category color. This way, you'll always see the task status on the grid.

Status coloring only pertains to Jira issues. Color changes will not apply to non-Jira tasks, such as projects, sprints, components, versions, or backlogs. Basic tasks also have color statuses. 

By default, the following colors are assigned to task statuses:

• Grey - To Do

• Blue - In Progress

• Green - Done
