MOVE YOUR
FIRST CARD.

LANE is the project management tool that puts every task, deadline and conversation on one board — so your team stops asking "who's doing what?" and starts shipping.

01 · welcome
the problem

Email is where work
goes to get lost.

Teams don't fail because people are lazy. They fail because the work lives in threads, sheets and Slack — and nobody can see the whole picture.

Inbox chaos

Status updates buried in 40-email threads. "Did you see my last email?" is the most expensive sentence in business.

87% of status info lives in email

Spreadsheet purgatory

Six tabs, color-coded cells, and a "last updated" that nobody trusts. The plan is a lie the moment it's saved.

60% of sheets are outdated in a week

"Who's doing what?"

The most-asked question in every standup. When the answer lives in someone's head, the deadline is already slipping.

the board

One board.
The whole project, at a glance.

Think of it as a shared whiteboard that never forgets. Columns are stages; cards are tasks; avatars show who owns each one.

Columns = stages

To Do → In Progress → In Review → Done. Your team can rename or add columns to match their workflow.

Cards = tasks

Each card carries a title, description, owner, due date, tags and attachments. Everything about a task in one place.

Avatars = ownership

Assign a card and it appears on the owner's "My tasks". No more asking who's on it — the board says it.

03 · the board
getting started

Up and running
in four steps.

Most people move their first card within 10 minutes. Here's the whole setup — no admin required.

1

Create your workspace

One home for your team — like a shared drive, but for work. lane.app/new

2

Invite your team

Add people by email. They join with one click — no passwords, no setup. Roles come later if you need them.

3

Create a project

Every project is a board. Start from a blank board or use a template (Sprint, Launch, Support).

4

Add your first card

Click "+" on any column, type a task, assign it. Done — you're running LANE.

tasks & owners

A task with an owner
is a task that ships.

Real example: the marketing sprint. Assigning, prioritizing and dating every task keeps the team honest and the deadline real.

Create the card

Ana adds the task to the board with a due date and priority.

2

Assign & set deadline

Ana assigns it to herself. It appears in "My tasks" with a due-date badge.

Move & collaborate

When done, drag to "In Review". The team sees it without a single status email.

Priorities

High / Medium / Low — color-coded so the urgent stuff pops without reading every card.

Due dates

Cards go red when overdue. The calendar view shows the whole month at a glance.

My tasks

Your personal list — every card assigned to you, across all boards. Open it and just work.

Due dates on every card

Set a date and it shows on the card, the board, the calendar and the owner's list. One deadline, four places — always in sync.

Overdue = red, automatically

Miss a date and the card flags itself. The team sees it without anyone having to "raise it in the meeting".

Calendar & timeline views

Flip any board to a calendar or Gantt-style timeline. Same cards, new perspective — great for planning sprints.

Reminders, not nagging

LANE pings the owner before a deadline — once, gently. It's a tool, not a manager.

06 · deadlines
collaboration

Talk about the work,
on the work.

Comments, mentions and attachments live on the card — not in a separate chat that scrolls away forever.

@-mentions

Type @name and the person gets notified — in LANE and on their email. No notification, no missed ask.

Files on the card

Drop any attachment onto the card. No more "I sent it in Slack last Tuesday".

Activity feed

Every move, comment and assignment is logged. You can always answer "what happened to this card?"

Activity log & audit

Full history on every card — who moved it, when, and why. Great for retrospectives and accountability.

key features

Six features
your team will live in.

Drag & drop

Move cards between columns with your mouse or finger. The board updates for everyone instantly.

Automations

"When a card moves to Done → notify #launch." Rules run the boring parts for you.

Dependencies

Link cards: "this can't start until that's done." The board shows what's blocked, and why.

Multiple views

Board, calendar, timeline, list — same data, different lenses. Everyone sees work their way.

Smart notifications

Only when it matters: you're mentioned, assigned, or a deadline you own is near.

Instant search

Find any card by title, tag, owner or date — Ctrl K, type, done.

Drag the finished card to "Done". The automation notifies the channel. The team sees progress live.

17:30 · Walk away

Everything is on the board. You close the laptop without the 9pm "did anyone see my email?"

best practices

Team habits
that make boards sing.

Limit work in progress

Max 2–3 cards per person in "In Progress". Less multitasking, more finishing. Watch the board get calmer.

Write a "Definition of Done"

Every column has a meaning. "Done" means tested, reviewed, merged — agree once, enforce forever.

Run the standup on the board

Instead of "what did you do yesterday", read the board left to right. It's faster and honest.

One owner per card

Shared ownership means no ownership. Assign exactly one person; others can help, one is accountable.
