Card Aging

Card Aging visually highlights stale work by gradually fading inactive Stories over time. The longer a Story goes without activity, the more faded it appears on the board, making it easy to spot work that may need attention or a nudge toward completion.

Customizing Aging Behavior

You can customize how Stories age in one of two ways:

  • Default gradual fade: Stories fade in stages at 1, 2, and 4 weeks of inactivity
  • Custom fade: Set a custom number of days for Stories to become fully faded

Configuring Card Aging for Your Workspace

To enable and configure Card Aging across your entire Workspace:

  1. Navigate to Settings > General Settings > Card Aging
  2. Choose the default gradual fade (1, 2, and 4 weeks of inactivity) or set a custom number of days for Stories to become fully faded
  3. Save your changes

Configuring Card Aging for a Team

Card Aging can also be configured for individual Teams:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Teams
  2. Select your Team
  3. Select Card Aging and configure the aging behavior for that Team

Card Aging pairs well with WIP Limits: WIP Limits cap how much work a team takes on, while Card Aging surfaces the work that has stalled.
