Altus provides multiple ways to view and manage project tasks, depending on how you prefer to work and the level of control required.

The two main task views are:

• Board view (visual and flexible)
• Timeline view (schedule and dependency-based)

Board View (Visual Management)

Best for:

• Organising and grouping work visually
• Tracking progress across tasks
• Drag-and-drop task updates
• Agile, Kanban, or hybrid delivery

Use Board view when you want to:

• Group tasks into buckets (e.g. To Do, In Progress, Done)
• Manage work in a similar way to Microsoft Planner
• Quickly reprioritise or reorganise tasks

👉 Board view is ideal for day-to-day task management and team visibility

Timeline View (Schedule Management)

Best for:

• Managing timelines and dependencies
• Understanding task sequencing
• Planning project delivery

Use Timeline view when you want to:

• View task durations across time
• Manage start and end dates
• Track dependencies between tasks
• Understand the overall delivery schedule

👉 Timeline view is ideal for planning, scheduling, and delivery control

How to Choose the Right View

Working Across Views

Important:
Both views use the same underlying task data.

This means:

• Changes made in one view are reflected in the other
• You can switch between views at any time
• You can use each view depending on the task at hand

Tips

• Use Board view for daily team collaboration
• Use Timeline view for planning and control
• Switch between views frequently to get different perspectives
• Align your usage with your delivery approach (Agile, Kanban, or traditional)
