Flagging a work item informs your teammates that a work item needs extra attention. For example, you could use a flag to indicate that you don't have capacity to finish a task, or to indicate that a work item is blocked and you'll work on it later.
On team-managed boards, flagged work items are shaded yellow:
To flag a work item:
