Users migrating from Jira are accustomed to grouping multiple workflow statuses into a single Kanban board column. For example, an **“In Progress”** column may include statuses such as **“In Development”** and **“In Code Review.”**
In Jira, columns are distinct from statuses: columns provide a **visual grouping of work**, rather than representing the status itself. When a card is moved into a column, Jira either assigns a default status associated with that column or prompts the user to choose one if multiple statuses are available.

In contrast, OpenProject uses a **one-to-one relationship between columns and statuses**. Each board column directly represents a single workflow status. Dragging a card into a column automatically sets the card’s status to that column’s status, and renaming a column requires changing the underlying workflow.
