## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSelf-ServiceVisual Task Boards.
2. Next to My Task Boards, click New, or if you have never created a task board before, click Create New Visual Task Board.
3. From the Create New Board window, click Freeform.  
   A new task board opens with the default freeform lanes, To Do, Doing, and Done.
4. Click the board name and enter a new name.

## What to do next
