Hi @jtreitz, thanks for being a part of the GitHub Community! Have you tried customizing your Project using the board layout? You can view your issues in a column, as well as modify the names of the statuses or create your own fields to display issues by that field rather than the status. You can add new issues from the project board as well and they live in your repository. 
Please visit our documentation on changing the layout of a view and customizing the board layout for more information. If you have any further questions, feel free to let us know! |

Hi ebndev, thanks for your response. I have tried the many variations projects offer. It looks great of course in your screenshot, multiple squads, epics, bug triage etc. My point is most small teams don't have any of that, it's a big-tool solution to a small job. |

I guess not all teams have identical needs then |

@jtreitz no they don't, but you can auto-add any issue raised to your single project and manage some automated status updates for those in the Project Workflows. Saying this because you said "Why do I need to add every issue manually to the board?" The answer at least here is: you don't. :) |

I came here to suggest this feature. I would like to use GitHub projects to keep track of issues in all repos in my organization. however, we have to continually manually add all issues whenever we want to manage the project which makes managing the project board a project in of itself Edit: I tried creating a new project with these workflows and while new issues automatically get added, previous ones do not. |

Gosh that would be a nightmare! Go to the Workflows of your project and add a workflow like this: However, what's really annoying, is that you can only have 12 workflows, and some are default ones you can't delete, so if you have a lot of repos then it's not going to be possible. I have JUST enough workflows to get everything I need into our Project, but I can't add any other ones which would be handy too. I used this from the get-go, so I never had the problem to add issues to a project and I can't help with that sorry. And maybe there's another workflow that's closing them? That's super annoying. |

I agree that the hardcap at 12 duplicated workflows is very frustrating and that the feature isnt as visible as it should be but this has been discussed in other threads, so hopefully they fix it someday |

Projects are confusing if you are a small team with a single repository and just want to have issues in columns. Like why is the project not inside my repository? Why is it a "project" if we just have weekly sprints? Why do I need to add every issue manually to the board?
Here's my idea: On the issues page itself, add a "board" view instead of the list. Let me configure which labels should become a column (e.g. "working on", "testing"). In addition, add a column on the right that contains recently closed issues and one on the left for all other issues (the backlog).
