This would be my preference but I'm not sure if everyone would agree.
On my old team we would use "tags" to define if a card belongs to a
project and just prepend it to the title of the card. So something
like "[TwoWeekAtomic] Task 1" for example, and then there would be a
project card with an explanation of the project and a list of tasks
(with links to cards associated with tasks). That would allow us to
quickly see project status and track related tasks on the board.

Just a suggestion. I'm open to alternatives though.
