GitHub Project Board — Hardware Store

You've got your Hardware Store user stories written down from the previous exercise. Now it's time to turn them into a GitHub Project Board — the same kind of board a real Agile team uses to track work.

You'll create the board, set up the columns, add one card per user story, and expand each card with enough detail that a teammate could pick it up and know what "done" looks like.

1. Log into GitHub and create a new project board named "Hardware Store Project".
2. The default board comes with three columns: Todo, In Progress, and Done. Add a fourth column called Testing between "In Progress" and "Done".
3. Add a card in the Todo column for each user story you wrote in the previous exercise.
4. Click each card and expand its description — add details, acceptance criteria, and anything that clarifies what "done" means for that story.

Four columns, left to right, in the order work flows: Todo → In Progress → Testing → Done. Every user story starts as a card in Todo.

Cards move left → right as the work progresses. Everyone starts in Todo.

• Keep technical tasks as plain titles — setup work like "Create base project structure" or "Wire up database" doesn't use the As-a / I-want / so-that template. Those are cards, but they aren't user stories.
• Acceptance criteria = a "done when..." checklist. Keep each one short, testable, and specific. If you can't check it off, rewrite it.
• Move cards left to right as work progresses. Todo → In Progress when you start. In Progress → Testing when the code is written. Testing → Done when it's been verified.
• One card per user story. If a card is doing too much, split it.
• Use the card description for the details — the card title is just the one-line story; everything else (criteria, notes, screenshots) lives in the description.
