What makes lanes special?
Everyone is on the Same Page
Lanes is where developers and PMs "live" and feel at home. You don't get lost in complex filter presets or need mental overhead to understand the project setup and workflows. Collaborators can switch projects and immediately know where they are and what state the project is in because there is a shared set of base views everyone knows. Only the minimum amount of custom settings and baked-in best practices are required to make the right things easy and the wrong way harder, thus preventing projects from drifting.
Auto Planning
Cycles are a natural product of the planning process and not something that needs to be manually created, consuming time and effort. Instead, cycles are planned and updated automatically as circumstances evolve, allowing teams to predict when they will reach milestones more accurately. Lanes removes the pressure placed on developers to answer when something will be done or if a new feature can fit into a sprint. Everyone can see what can be reached by when and discuss if descoping is needed to meet ‘necessary’ deadlines. You do not need to plan the cycles; the core planning activity is prioritizing the work to be done.
Swimlanes as the Main UI
Swimlanes are the key UI element and are a logical level above the story state. Lanes preserve a story's relative position/priority as it transitions through its states of completion, reducing mental overhead by simply making it easier to find a story. You do not need to manually move stories to a new swimlane for every change e.g. from "finished" to "in-review".
Real-time Collaboration
Changes made by team members are instantly reflected for everyone to see, enabling seamless collaboration. This includes story updates, comments, and prioritization changes, creating a truly shared workspace.
Saying no to toxic planning practices
Lanes says NO to Gantt charts and discourages arbitrary deadlines unless it is essential for the team to prioritize their work better.
Fast and Reliable
Lanes never slows down your flow or makes you feel like you are waiting for a server. This includes seamless keyboard shortcuts and a UI that can stay ahead of your typing speed. Even work offline or with a slow connection and never lose a single keystroke.
