View everything instead of in stacks in planning board

Edit Subject

The planning board is configured to display a maximum of 20 parent work items. We are thinking about allowing the user to specify that number through some configuration page. What do you think about this idea?

That is a good thing! But our product managers would like to have a complete view as well. They wondered how prioritizing over stacks work. At least it takes thee actions after creating:
- (create item)
- Drag onto stack
- Click stag
- Drag within stack

Especially if you have a lot of stacks it becomes not so great to find the right spot. So maybe it helps if the amount of stacks is less by having more items in them.

An idea for determining the last one is this: why just not have the pane with items adjustable? By extending it the number of items increase. Depending on your resolution you see more or less items. But a show all would also be appreciated!

Our company is getting deeper into UT, and our Product Owners are finding that the Card Stacks are sometimes a pain point. When they're heavily in prioritization mode in the Planning Board, they would *really* prefer a single view of all the stories -- moving stories around Card Stacks tends to produce a lot of busywork, and not a little confusion.

Not our biggest problem, but having a flag to turn Card Stacks on and off would be helpful...

Make Card Stacks optional.

The number of items per card stack can now be configured in Urban Turtle 3.7. There is also an option to view all items, although performance could take a hit.
