Milestones people rally around

Each milestone bundles its tasks, discussions, and documents — and carries a health status the whole team can read at a glance.

  • Health status: on track, at risk, off track
  • Status updates with full history
  • Discussions and documents attached

TRIAGE — TEAM INBOX FIG. 03

fig. 03triage

An inbox between the world and your board

Bugs, ideas, and client requests land in triage first. Prioritize, discuss, then promote to a task — or park it in the backlog without guilt.

  • One place for everything incoming
  • Priorities, tags, and discussion threads
  • One-click conversion to task

Grid, calendar, kanban — same truth

Everyone reads the board the way they think. Filters, grouping, and saved views keep it personal without forking reality.

fig. 06custom fields

Fields that match your reality

Add custom properties to milestones and tasks — nine types deep, from numbers and dates to user pickers and relations between items. Then filter and group the board by any of them.

  • Nine types: text, number, select, date, URL, checkbox, user, relation…
  • Filter and group by any field
  • Defined once per project, consistent everywhere

CYCLES — Q3 FIG. 07

fig. 07cycles

Plan in cycles, ship in rhythm

Time-box your milestones into cycles. Status flows from the calendar — upcoming, active, completed — so planning stays honest without ceremony.

  • Automatic status, no manual flipping
  • Group the board by cycle
  • Archive a cycle, keep its history

fig. 08fewer meetings

This meeting could have been a dashboard.

Who's doing what? Where do we stand? When will it be ready? The board answers the whole agenda in one glance — so you can delete the meeting for good, not just skip a week.

6 people × 1 h × 46 Mondays = 276 h a year ↳ seven weeks of work, back

Weekly project meeting

⟳ Repeats every Monday · 10:00 — 11:00

  • Who's on what? → workload & assignees
