Color Coding Projects or Custom Fields

Hi @Caisha

I admit I use your approach in most cases, without a proper logic. The only moment in which I apply a logic is when I have to assign colours to:

  • custom fields lists
  • projects

Now, regarding the custom field lists, if the list can be linked to a “traffic light” system, then I tend to use green, yellow and red, maybe expanding with blue/orange and so on. This gives me an immediate feedback on the status.
For example: implementation task priority?

  • Must Have/High Priority > Red
  • Should Have/Medium Priority > Yellow
  • Could Have/Low Priority > Green

As for projects, I tend to use the same logic to immediately understand the status of the projects. I don’t use the Daashboard a lot, but I have in my favourites the list of all the main projects and sprints. It is absolutely easy to understand if a project is on time and in line with expectations or not.

Hope this gives you food for thoughts

Ciao
Carlo
