Analytics Engineering edit

Typical columns: next up, paused, in progress, in code review, ready to deploy, done
Other columns: parent tasks
There are also component workboards:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/11/ (looks like a product backlog board, with columns for quarters)

Performance edit
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/1212/ (#performance-team)

Question: There is no "done" column, so do they just "resolve" tasks as they are completed? Also, no "needs review".
