01The argument

What a status update costs

The same task, asked about on the same morning. On the left it has four answers in four places. On the right it has one.

Status, without it

4 answers

Every one of these was true where it was written. None of them was ever told about the others — so the standup exists to work out which one to plan around.

Status, here

1 card · 6 views

One card carries the status, the owner and the date, and says who last moved it. When the client needs a different shape, that's a tab — not a fifth copy.

Nobody needs a meeting to be told the state of the work. They need the work to show its state.

One list, six shapes

Six views. Watch the tasks move between them.

Six screenshots would look like six products. These are the same six tasks the whole way through — only the shape changes, and you can see each card make the trip.

Board. Drag between statuses you named yourself.

Same six tasks the whole way through. Only the shape changes.

02What's in it

Six ways to look at the same work

Board

Board

Drag tasks between statuses you define yourself. The picture updates as work moves.

Your own statuses

Lists

List & table

Dense rows when you need to scan, sort and bulk-edit rather than admire a board.

Sort and bulk-edit

Timeline

Calendar & gantt

See what lands this week, and what quietly depends on something that hasn't started.

Start and due dates

Intake

Forms

Turn a list into an intake form. Answers arrive as tasks, already in the right place.

No form tool

Columns

Custom columns

Assignee, dates, priority, tags, linked docs, files, email, checkboxes, free text and signatures — per list.

12 types

Views

Filters and sorting

Slice by owner, status, priority, tags or due date, and keep the view you actually use.

Keep the one you use

Work that reports its own state

Nobody should need a meeting to be told where things are. Three ways the work says it itself.

Boards and lists
See

Six views over one list, so nobody has to keep a private copy of the truth.

Owners and due dates
Ownership

A name and a date on every task — the two fields that decide whether anything actually happens.

Catching blockers
Blockers

Blocked work raises its hand today, instead of confessing at the retro.

03The seams

A dedicated project tool will manage your projects just fine

What it won't do is know who was on the clock, what the doc said, or where the decision was made — because those live somewhere else.

One request, across four tools (the messy way)

The work is real. The re-typing between each step isn't.

7 steps · 4 tools · 6 hand-offs

  • Re-typing the request
  • Searching for the spec
  • Asking who picked it up
  • Chasing a status for the client

One list · six views · no second copy for the client

Projects don't fail because the board was wrong. They fail in the gaps between the board and everything else.

The same list, six different jobs

1Delivery lead

The board is the standup

You stop asking for status because the status is already on the screen in front of you.

  • Board view with statuses you named yourself
  • Filter to one owner before a one-to-one
  • Blocked tasks flagged where everyone can see them

04Straight answers

The questions teams ask about projects

If the answer you need isn't here, the free plan will get you to it faster than we can.

Start free

No. The views sit as tabs over the same list, so the same tasks can be a board for the team, a table for you and a calendar for whoever's planning the week. Changing one changes the underlying task, not just that view.
