Problem Definition
As a configurer of an Agile board, similar to how I can configure my custom issue statuses to belong to one of the three options, I would also like to configure the columns on my agile board to be:
- To do
- In Progress - Done
Currently, the automatic assumption is that the very left column is To Do and the very right column is Done.
This is a huge limitation in Jira Agile and causes problems especially with rendering the burndown chart.
I do not believe that asking the user to merge multiple of my columns into one or to create a separate Agile board is a sufficient solution for the issue.
Suggested Solution
Allow the ability to add additional columns to also represent To do and Done in addition to the ability to already add an In Progress column.
Note
Judging from the comments on GHS-10261 and GHS-11355 as well as this post on Atlassian Answers, I do feel that this is a feature of general interest.
Please stop closing every suggestion about this as "Answered" and leave any one of these three open for us to vote on.
Note: I am explicitly filing a duplicate of GHS-10261 and GHS-11355, both of which I find to have been closed prematurely.

- Closed
I was trying to figure out why, in our "sprint health" dialog, it said there were 0% of items not started even though I could see a bunch of issues not started. I then discovered, to my dismay, that Jira seems to make the assumption that only the left-most column is "not started" regardless of the actual "type" of the workflow states in that column.
We have the following workflow states:
Where Open and Ready to Start are marked as "to do" types (grey).
I thought I could "work around" this problem by simply adding Open and Ready to Start to the same column but, as seen in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-11639, Jira does not allow you to drag an issue to the same column so this won't work.
