Features · Inside a project

One set of tasks. Three ways to work it.

A board for what stage everything is at, a list for scanning and editing in bulk, and a backlog that holds only the work nobody has decided about yet. Same tasks, three questions.

  • Board, List and Backlog
  • Columns per project
  • One status choke point

What it does

Three views, one set of tasks.

Board, List and Backlog read the same rows. They exist separately because they answer different questions, and each one is built for its question.

This project's set. The design board next door keeps its own.

01

Columns are the project's own

Rename, reorder, recolour, add or remove columns from the board's own settings. Every project keeps its own set, so a support board and a design board never have to share a process.

02

The Backlog is a grooming queue

It shows only tasks still in the first column with no due date, ranked by star then priority, with the three grooming decisions right on the row: set a priority, give it a date, or start it.

03

A task carries the whole of its detail

Several assignees with one primary, effort as an estimate against time logged, subtasks with their own owners and dates, checklists you can assign item by item, labels, milestones and blockers.

04

Group, sort and filter, the same way everywhere

Group by team, assignee, label or priority. Sort by priority, due date, starred, story points or title. Filter to an assignee, label, status or date range.

05

A task from a meeting says so

A card the meeting pipeline created wears a chip naming the real meeting type and links back to the meeting it came from, so nobody has to ask where a task appeared from.

06

Moving a card is an event

Every status change made on the board or in the list goes through one choke point, so an automation that watches a column fires whether the card was dragged or edited. Drag a band across the board to select several cards and move them together, and each one still goes through it, one at a time.

On which plan

What is included, and where the line is.

Every new workspace starts on a free trial of the full Business tier, no card needed, and lands on Free when it ends. Prices and limits are on the pricing page.

Every plan

Board, List and Backlog on every project

Three core tabs. Nothing about the views themselves is gated.

Recurring tasks

A task that re-creates itself on a schedule.

Time tracking

A timer on the task, rates, and invoices from the hours.

Questions

The ones people ask first.

Do the three views hold different tasks?
No. Board, List and Backlog read the same tasks. Backlog filters hard to the ones nobody has triaged yet: still in the first column, with no due date.
Why is a task missing from a view?
Usually a filter that is still applied. On Backlog it means the task has already started or already has a due date, which is the whole point of that view.
Can each project have its own columns?
Yes. Columns are per project. Pick a starter board when you create it, then change the columns whenever the process changes.

Start with the board.

Open a workspace, create a project, and the board, the list and the backlog are already there.
