Managing projects is hard. Let's see if we can make a tool to help with the process.

In this challenge we'll be building a simple project management application in the vein of Pivotal Tracker/Trello/etc.

Upon accessing the application, a user should see a simple list of existing boards, as well as an option to create a new board. When creating a new board, the user must provide a "Title".

Upon selecting or creating a board, they should be taken to the board page. This should include the familiar 4-status interface of Agile ticket states ("backlog", "current sprint", "in progress", and "done").

These states can be rendered horizontally or vertically as you see fit, but the interface should include clearly differentiated sections for each state.

When viewing a board, a user should have the option, via a form positioned clearly on the page, to create a new ticket.

When creating a new ticket, the user must provide a "Title". They may also provide a "Description" (textbox) and a "Status" (dropdown selection of available ticket states).

If not provided, the description should be blank, and the status should default to "backlog".

Existing tickets should be displayed on the page grouped under the appropriate "status" section.

Once a ticket has been created, a user should be able to move it through the various ticket states. To facilitate this, each ticket should be rendered with links or buttons for the appropriate "neighbor" states.

Thus, given the states "backlog", "current sprint", "in progress", and "done", a ticket in the "current sprint" state should include links to "move to backlog" and "move to in progress".

A ticket in the "backlog" state would only include one link: "move to current sprint".

Clicking the link should send the appropriate request to the server to update the ticket's status. Upon the next page load, it should show up in the newly update column.
