Project importance

You have thirty projects and not enough people, so something gets less attention. Project importance ranks your Active projects by how much each matters to the business, so that decision is made on stated reasons instead of whoever shouts loudest. It is a lens: it changes nothing on any board and reorders no work.

Plankwork shows the ranking as one bar per project, split by reason: margin, income, what is still to invoice, how close the deadline is, commercial pressure, relationship risk and strategic weight. An Owner decides how much each reason counts and rates the projects; everyone with the view reads the result, on the page, in a project’s details and in Portfolio status.

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