* Use system defaults for first board
* Customize based on feedback

**Match board purpose**

* Public product board → Open voting, public comments
* Internal roadmap → Restricted submissions, admin-only visibility
* Bug reports → Attachments required, no voting

**Regular review**

* Check settings quarterly
* Update based on usage patterns
* Adjust notification preferences as team grows
