When it comes to visualizing tasks in a project, everyone has used the standard task views (kanban, list, timeline, etc.). But what about a canvas view? We’re now creating these board-based “tech trees” in every project we run inside of Whimsical. It’s a more visual way of viewing the tasks in a project and how they relate to each other. You have the flexibility of the canvas so you can do things like group related tasks, show dependencies and progressions, and mark milestones. You can also open the task directly from the canvas to read or update it. The card color is synced to the task status so you can easily understand how things are progressing. The tasks are still available in a more traditional, structured task view (e.g. kanban / list) if things like filtering or sorting are needed.
