Overview: the project home page

One page per workspace: what it’s about, a status set by hand, the numbers that matter, stages and versions on a timeline, what’s late and what’s coming.

Press ⌂ Overview at the top of the board. It’s the page to show a supervisor, a client or a new member: the whole project on one screen.

The Overview page with About, Status, numbers, stages and a timeline
Overview: written by hand at the top, worked out from the board below.

Written by hand

  • About: a few lines on what the project is for. Anyone with settings rights can edit it.
  • Status: On track, At risk or Off track, with a short note. It shows on everyone’s home page.
Status is a judgement, so a person sets it, not a formula.

Worked out from the board

  • Progress numbers: tasks done, open, late and due this week (each piece of carried-over work counted once).
  • Stages with their dates, and a timeline with milestones, versions and today.
  • Sub-teams and how each is doing.
  • Late and coming up: the tasks to talk about this week.
  • Decisions: open decision matrices first, then the ones already decided.
Example
Jo’s coursework group sets the status to At risk with the note “Survey closes late, results may slip a week.” Their tutor opens the Overview and sees it straight away, with the late tasks underneath.
