To ensure that progress on the board is also tracked in a project, a project manager can use connected cards. Connected cards link tasks or issues on an agile board directly to tasks or issues within a project, ensuring that updates made on the board are reflected in the project and vice versa.
Enable Agile in the Project:
Navigate to the project settings.
Ensure that the project is set up for agile tracking by enabling the relevant agile settings.
Create Connected Cards:
Within the agile board, create connected cards by linking tasks or issues directly to the corresponding tasks or issues in the project.
This can typically be done by selecting the task or issue on the board and choosing the option to connect it to a project task or issue.
Update and Track Progress:
As team members update the connected cards on the agile board, the progress will automatically be tracked in the linked project tasks or issues.
This ensures that both the board and the project reflect the same status and progress.

The use of connected cards for ensuring synchronization between board progress and project tracking is covered in the agile and project management training materials provided by Workfront (webinaradminessentialsuxinterfacedesignmar1520231678820264387).
