The whiteboard that ships projects

Finish projects.
Not just start whiteboards.

Most whiteboards are where ideas go to die. Overboard is where they get done — with structured workflows, AI-powered action items, and boards that actually move work forward.

The whiteboard graveyard is real

Every team has them: dozens of boards from past brainstorms, retros, and workshops that nobody ever looks at again. Ideas captured, never acted on.

Open-ended whiteboards

Ideas go in. Nothing comes out.

  • Boards pile up with no clear next steps
  • Brainstorms end, action items get lost
  • No way to track what actually got done
  • Sticky notes from 6 months ago still sitting there
  • "We already discussed this" becomes a meme
Overboard

Every board drives a project forward.

  • AI extracts action items from brainstorms
  • Structured templates keep work moving
  • Track progress right on the canvas
  • Boards connect to outcomes, not just ideas
  • From brainstorm to done in the same tool

Built to finish, not just brainstorm

Side-by-side: how Overboard helps you ship projects while others stay stuck in brainstorm mode.

From brainstorm to shipped

The gap between having an idea and finishing the project is where most teams fail. Overboard closes that gap.

AI turns brainstorms into action items

Finish a brainstorm session and let AI extract every action item, decision, and follow-up. No more "can someone send the notes?" — the board already did it.

Templates that drive outcomes

Not just blank canvases with sticky notes. Overboard templates are designed around workflows — sprint planning, project kickoffs, decision matrices, and retrospectives that lead to clear next steps.

Track progress on the canvas

See what's done, what's in progress, and what's blocked — right where the work was planned. No switching to a separate project tracker. The board is the tracker.

One tool from idea to done

Stop stitching together Miro for brainstorming, Notion for docs, and Jira for tracking. Overboard handles the full journey — brainstorm, plan, assign, track, and ship.

Common questions

Miro is great for open-ended brainstorming, but boards often become graveyards of ideas that never get acted on. Overboard is built to move from brainstorm to action — with structured templates, AI-generated action items, task tracking, and project timelines built into the canvas.
Absolutely. Overboard has all the brainstorming tools you'd expect — sticky notes, freeform drawing, mind maps, voting. The difference is what happens after: AI summarizes the session, extracts action items, and helps you turn ideas into a structured plan.
AI in Overboard can summarize brainstorms into action items, generate project timelines from loose ideas, auto-organize sticky notes into categories, and surface blocked tasks. It's like having a project manager built into your whiteboard.
Yes. Overboard's free plan includes unlimited boards, up to 5 team members, and full AI access. No credit card required, no time limit. Use it as long as you need.
Yes. Overboard supports full Miro board imports — sticky notes, frames, connectors, images, and embedded content all transfer over. Most teams complete their migration in under 5 minutes.
