Project Workbench

The Projects dashboard

The Projects dashboard (in the top navigation) lists every project you can access and is where you start each session. From here you open a project into its workbench, create a new one, and see how your scheduled work lays out across time.

The status filter

Projects are never deleted — only archived or killed — so the dashboard keeps them all, tucked behind a filter:

  • All (default) — your live working set. Killed and archived projects are hidden so the view stays focused on what's active.
  • Archived — projects you've set aside. Reversible; archiving hides a project without losing any of its history.
  • Killed — ideas you've deliberately stopped. A killed line isn't a failure, it's a cheap lesson — and it's kept so the reasoning is never lost.

Each project card carries a small status badge (for example Killed) whenever it isn't active, so you can tell at a glance where it stands.

The calendar

At the top of the default view, a calendar lays your scheduled sprint plans out across a shared timeline — one bar per plan, labelled with its project. Click any bar to jump straight into that sprint plan.

A project appears on the calendar once it is planned, which means it has a sprint plan that is:

  • in an active loop,
  • given both a start and an end date, and
  • carrying at least one committed Goal — a Goal with an owner.

Projects not planned

Below the calendar, a collapsible Projects not planned section (hidden by default) lists the live projects that don't yet have a scheduled sprint — a quick prompt for what still needs a timebox. Open it, click a project, and add a sprint plan with dates and an owned Goal to move it onto the calendar.

The calendar and the "not planned" list are about your live work, so they show on the All view only — not while you're looking at Archived or Killed.
