Scrum? Kanban? Something you invented last Tuesday? However your team works, GitHub Projects gives you a flexible, developer-friendly way to manage your backlog, priorities, and progress — without forcing you into someone else's process.

In this session, we'll explore how to build lightweight, effective workflows in GitHub Projects that help your team stay focused and aligned without ceremony overload. Whether you're trying to escape rigid sprints or you're building a process from scratch, you'll see how to track work, prioritize features, and collaborate transparently — all in the same place where your code lives.

We'll walk through custom issue fields, project views, milestones, burndown-style charts, and automation that actually helps. This is project management for the post-Agile world — flexible, visual, and built for devs.

You will learn:

• Design a lean, developer-friendly project workflow using GitHub Projects, Issues, and fields.
• Track backlog items, estimation, and progress without relying on rigid Scrum structures.
• Build burndown-style charts and dashboards that reflect how your team actually works.
