Work that moves, visibly
Every task carries what it needs — owner, due date, checklist, dependencies — and the board shows exactly where it stands. Assign it to a teammate, or to an AI agent.
DanaEverything a task carries
A task isn't a line of text — it's the whole context: who owns it, when it's due, what's left, and what it's waiting on.
Big work breaks down, order holds up
Split a task into subtasks and the parent keeps score. Mark what blocks what, and the board stops promising things that can't happen yet.
The plan, drawn against time
Switch the same tasks to the Gantt or Timeline view and the project becomes a picture — who's doing what, when it lands, and what's waiting on what.
The project's brain lives next to it
Briefs, specs and notes are real pages in the same workspace — written in a rich editor, linked to the work they describe, never lost in another app.
The conversation stays on the work
Every task carries its own thread. Decisions, questions and answers live where the work lives — and mentioning an agent gets you an answer with the task's full context.
Work finds its owner

Calendar & Scheduling →A status change, a new task, a missed due date — each can trigger a workflow that does the next step for you.
