What Plankwork is

You manage dozens of pieces of work at once, and most of them are not due today. The ones that hurt are the ones that went quiet. Plankwork keeps your work in threads, the ongoing streams of work you run in parallel. It shows what needs you through heat, a live urgency. Heat rises on its own as a deadline comes close or as recurring work goes stale, so neglected work turns red without anyone touching it.

Around that board, Plankwork covers the rest of running a portfolio of work. It ranks tasks by importance and urgency, handles work that repeats, and hands tasks to other people and gets them back. It tracks time, plans who is booked on what, and shows costs and financials. It produces reports you can send. It has a Service Desk for customer requests and an AI that works on the board when you allow it.
