# 04 Board Columns and Project Workflow Settings

## Goal

Allow each project to configure its own Kanban board structure through project settings.

## Requirements

- Each project must have exactly one board configuration context.
- Board columns are project-specific and ordered.
- A project admin or otherwise authorized user can:
    - create columns
    - rename columns
    - reorder columns
    - delete columns
- Board columns define the valid in-board statuses for tickets.
- The backlog remains separate from board columns and is not just another normal board column.

## Acceptance Criteria

- A project can have any number of board columns.
- Column order is reflected consistently in project settings and the board UI.
- Deleting or changing columns is protected by project-level permissions.
- Ticket status validation only allows backlog or one of the project's configured board columns.

## Out of Scope

- Swimlanes
- WIP limits
- Board automation rules
