BoardSections become columns. Drag a Task to another column to move it to that Section, or click it to set its Due, Duration and Priority.

Across Projects

Across Projects

The same five Layouts over several Projects.

The Planner shows the Tasks of the Projects you pick, in any Layout. Its Board can share one set of columns or give each Project a lane; its Timeline lists each Project with its Tasks.

  • Switch Projects on and off with the chips along the top
  • Board columns map to one Section in each Project
  • The Backlog can combine same-named Sprints

The Planner’s Board with Lane per Project over three Projects: the Tidepool lane’s Tasks sit in the No section, To do, In progress and Review columns.

Drag and drop

Drag and drop

Pick it up by the Task itself.

Rows, Tasks on a Board, bars and calendar blocks all drag the same way: the item lifts into a chip that follows the pointer, and the drop target shows where it will land.

  • Select several Tasks first and the drag carries them all
  • Unscheduled Tasks drag straight onto the Calendar
  • Drag a Section by its handle and its Tasks go with it
The Board in the dark theme: columns for No section, To do, In progress and Review holding their Tasks.
