Plankwork uses a small set of nouns, and several of them mean something narrower than they do in everyday speech. A thread is a stream of work, not a conversation. Heat is urgency, not activity. This chapter names each core noun in a few lines and points to the chapter that covers it.

It covers the organisation and its people, boards and how work is arranged on them, the ideas that rank work, and the ways work moves between people.

The full chapter, with every step and setting, is in the app: open your account menu and select User manual.
