Give a project its own plan

Create a private plan, choose a setup, and organize the work inside it.

Create a plan

Open Plans and choose New plan. Give it a recognizable name and, if useful, a short description and accent. A new plan starts private.

  1. Name the outcome or project, such as “Studio website.”
  2. Choose a Simple, Project, or Custom setup.
  3. Create sections for meaningful groups of work.
  4. Add tasks, then open a task when it needs more detail.

Choose a setup that fits

A setup chooses which tools and views are visible. You can change configuration as the plan grows.

SetupA useful starting point
SimpleEveryday lists and straightforward projects.
ProjectStructured work with hierarchy, Timeline, Goals, and Workload controls. Scheduling starts in Manual mode.
CustomChoose the modules and views appropriate to your plan.

Keep useful plans close

Use favorites, recent plans, and personal organization to return to work quickly. A personal favorite changes your navigation; removing it from favorites leaves your access intact.

A plan has a stable identity when you rename it or change its appearance. List, Board, Calendar, and other enabled views keep working with the same tasks.

Archive, restore, or leave

Archive a finished plan when you want it out of active work while retaining its content. Reopen it when you need to continue. Trash and restore are separate actions with a retention window.

The owner manages plan archival, trash, and ownership transfer. Leaving a shared plan changes your participation. An owner needs to complete an accepted ownership transfer before leaving work that still needs another owner.

KEEP EXPLORING

See the same work another wayUse List, Board, Calendar, and project views to answer different questions about a plan.
Start from work you already knowUse a template or copy a plan while choosing what carries over.
Build a schedule you can inspectUse hierarchy, dependencies, calendars, and previewed schedule changes.
