They are very different.
"Well-rounded" means balanced or even skilled.
"He's a well-rounded dude" means he can do several things well.
"Across the board" means "equally applying to all".
"We're cutting budgets across the board" means everyone will get a budget cut.

@SyLambert OK，so well-rounded is to describe sort of capability, but “across the board “means all the aspects

@Jessie_goodman Yes, exactly. You could maybe say "across the board" means "every category."
So let's say you want to evaluate someone on their typing speed, typing accuracy, and similar skills in an office. If someone performs pretty well at all of their evaluations, you could say that person is "well-rounded across the board!"
