Within your Project Management tool, you can view your tasks in three different ways: Board, List, or Timeline view. Each view offers unique benefits and helps you organise and track your tasks efficiently.

Board view

The Board view adopts a Kanban layout, with tasks are separated by status columns - helping you organise tasks according to their progress.

Status columns include "To Do," "In Progress," "In Review," and "Done."

Move tasks along the Board by dragging and dropping them between columns, to provide a clear visual of task status.

This view allows you to see the task name, the phase it is assigned to, the team member responsible, the target date, and the number of subtasks completed.

Benefits of Kanban Board view

  • Visual Workflow: Easily see the status of each task and track progress at a glance.

  • Flexibility: Quickly move tasks between columns as their status changes.

  • Efficiency: Identify bottlenecks and optimise your workflow.

List view

Switching to the List view allows you to see tasks in a list format, organised by status sections: "To Do," "In Progress," "In Review," and "Done."

All tasks under each status are listed, showing task name, phase, assigned team member, target date, and accumulated time tracked against the task.

Benefits of List view:

  • Detailed View: See all relevant details of each task in a single line.

  • Sorting and Filtering: Easily sort and filter tasks based on various criteria.

  • Simplified Tracking: Quickly scan through tasks and their specifics.

Timeline view

This view presents your project phases in a timeline format, and you can switch the timeline view to monthly, quarterly, or yearly formats.

Phases appear on to the right, while a timeline on the left indicates the start and end dates for each phase. This view provides a higher-level visibility of your project's progress.

Benefits of Timeline view

  • Project Overview: Get a comprehensive view of your project schedule and timelines.

  • Milestone Tracking: Identify key dates and milestones easily.

  • Resource Allocation: See the distribution of tasks and phases over time.

By utilising different views, you can effectively manage your tasks, track progress, and ensure your project stays on schedule - your way.
