Plane provides five flexible layouts to view and manage your work items, tailored to suit different workflows. Each layout offers unique benefits, so you can easily switch perspectives and optimize your team’s productivity.
The List layout is a straightforward, text-based view ideal for scanning and organizing tasks. It displays all your work items in an ordered list, which can be grouped by properties like priority, assignee, or labels. You can also drag and drop tasks to adjust their positions. This layout is particularly useful for getting a quick snapshot of all project activities.
The Board layout resembles a Kanban board, with work items represented as cards in vertical columns. It’s perfect for visualizing work stages like Backlog, In Progress, or Done.
The Calendar layout maps out your work items by their due dates. It’s perfect for tracking deadlines and planning ahead. Only tasks with defined due dates are displayed, allowing you to focus on what’s due and when.
The Table layout offers a spreadsheet-like interface, great for bulk editing and analyzing detailed work item data. Each row represents a work item, and columns display attributes like assignee, priority, and dates.
The Timeline layout, similar to a Gantt chart, shows your project’s progress over time. You can see how long tasks take, when they start and finish, and how they connect to each other. Tasks with start and end dates appear as bars, giving a clear picture of how work fits together.
