Do I have to use the Board in order to organize the Tests in a given Test Plan?
No. You can simple use the standard flat organization, right on the issue screen of the Test Plan where you can also rank the Tests the way you want. The Test Plan Board is something that you can choose whether to use or not, in each Test Plan, in order to organize hierarchicaly the Tests within it and track and manage the progress of subset of Tests.
