Projects

Put the work on a board everyone can see.

Tasks in five columns, grouped into epics, each one carrying who has it and when it is due. The same tasks read as a sortable list when that is the question you are asking.

Included from the Growth plan, 30 days free, no card.

A project belongs to the business, not to one branch, so the people on it can come from any of them.

Assigned, and they knowA link that opens the task itself

One set of tasks, read two ways.

The board is for moving work along and the list is for answering what is due this week. They are the same tasks underneath, so a card dragged on the board is already sorted in the list.

What it covers

Four things a project is made of.

A project, the epics inside it, the tasks inside those, and the people they are handed to.

The work

Projects

  • A project belongs to the business rather than to one branch, so a refit that touches two of them is one project
  • Its own name, colour and description, and a count of the epics and tasks under it
  • The list carries every project at once, which is the answer to what is actually running
Grouping it

Epics

  • An epic is a chunk of the project: the fit-out, the permits, the launch
  • Each carries its own colour, and that colour travels onto every task in it as a bar on the card and a dot in the list
  • Tap one in the epic bar and the board narrows to that epic with its columns intact
Moving it

Tasks

  • Five columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review and Done. Dragging a card between them is the status change
  • Low, Medium, High or Urgent, a due date in PH format, and a description for the part that needs a sentence
  • Board on a desktop, list on a phone, and whichever you pick is remembered in the address rather than reset
Who has it

People

  • The assignee list reads everyone under your business, so a task can go to somebody at another branch
  • Comments sit on the task, so the reason a date moved is still there three days later
  • Being assigned a task, being handed someone else's, and a comment on one you are on each reach the person with a link that opens it
  • Filter to one assignee and pin it as your default, so the board opens on your own work

What this module is not: there is no time tracking, no estimates or billable hours, and no dependencies or Gantt chart. It is a board, a list and a thread, sitting in the same platform as the books.

One task, from its column to the thread under it.

Four screens from the real thing, and you can tap them.

A project board for an invented Store refit project, with five columns: Backlog 3, To Do 2, In Progress 2, In Review 1, Done 4. Cards carry a coloured epic bar, a title, a priority chip, a due date and the assignee initials. In Progress holds "Fit the new counter", urgent, due October 9, assigned to RT. An epic filter above the board reads All epics, Fit-out, Permits and Launch, and a Board / List toggle with a New task button sits on the right.

Step 1 of 4

Five columns, and a card moves by dragging it.

Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review and Done. A card carries the one thing that matters at a glance: how urgent it is, who has it, and when it is due. The coloured bar down its left is the epic it belongs to.

Dragging a card to the next column is the status change. Nobody opens a form to say a thing has started.

Tap the marked spots on the screen, or move through the steps above with the arrow keys.
