       | But a good target would be a Jira/Trello board, they often get
       | presented...

         | like a terrifying prank, unless maybe the presentation is for a

         | that into your own presentations to lighten it up. Like it used

         | similar things.

       | someone who isn't me put the time and effort to create it.
