# Task board card

> A kanban board for your squad — assign each task to an agent and let the next one start by itself.

A **task board** has four columns: **To do**, **Doing**, **Review** and **Done**. Add tasks and move
them between columns yourself, or let agents do it.

## Give a task to a specific agent

- **Assign** — pick the agent that should do the task. Only that agent ever receives it; other
agents can't move or remove it.
- **Start** — sends the task to its agent and moves it to **Doing**.
- **New agent for this task** (in the same list) — creates a fresh agent for it in one click.

## Tasks that depend on others

**Depends on** lets you tick the tasks that must be **Done** first. Until then the task is marked
**Blocked** and shows what it's waiting for.

## Auto-dispatch

Turn on **Auto-dispatch** (the lightning button in the board's header) and the board runs itself: when an agent finishes its turn, its task moves
to **Review** and its next ready task is sent to it automatically. With **Give unassigned tasks to
any idle connected agent**, free tasks go to whichever connected agent is free.

Agents connected by an [arrow](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/canvas/arrows) can also add tasks and move their own along. See
[Giving agents tasks](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/agents/tasks) for the whole picture.

**Good for:** a squad working through a backlog, where you want to see at a glance who is doing what.
