- CRConrad 6y agoIt's also the English for ~"having, being in, or related to focus". So a meaning of "a board where important tasks are in focus" (or some such) seems at least as likely.
- curryst 6y agoI think they mean it as the adjective form of the English word "focus", as in "focal point". Instead of "focal point" it's a "focal board".
