The Tasks tab inside a project is your plan and its health in one place. This guide covers the three views, List, Board and Timeline, and how the Gantt-style timeline shows phases, dependencies and progress so you know what is behind before the client does.
Three views of one plan
Every project breaks down into phases and tasks, and you read that same breakdown in whichever view suits the moment. Switch between them with the control at the top of the Tasks tab.
- List is a table of tasks with owner, schedule, status and a dedicated Progress column, good for editing and bulk work.
- Board is a kanban of columns by status, so you drag a task along as it moves and see the load in each stage.
- Timeline is the Gantt: every task drawn as a bar across a date axis with dependency arrows and a Today line.
The task board
The board shows each task as a card in a status column. Cards carry the assignee, due date and priority, and you move work forward by dragging a card to the next column. It is the fastest way for a site team to see what is in progress and what is waiting, without reading a whole schedule.
Reading the timeline
In the Timeline view, a manager sees, in one screen, which phase is where, which bars sit behind the Today line, and how full each bar is. A faint track is the task's full duration; the solid fill is the work done, so a bar that is only half filled but sits left of Today is visibly behind.
Dependency arrows link tasks that must run in order, so you can see what a slip pushes downstream. The timeline zooms without reflowing: Day, Week and Month change only the scale, so bar positions, arrows and the Today line stay correct. Month compresses a six-month fit-out into one review screen; Day exposes exact dates and shaded non-working days for near-term scheduling. A Fullscreen mode turns the chart into a review-meeting artifact, and Esc exits.
Note
Non-working days come from one calendar
Progress percent vs status
Progress is a first-class signal in Panzo, separate from status. Every task carries a completion percent that its owner sets, and the timeline shows the schedule-planned percentalongside it. Progress is entered by people, not auto-computed from dates or spend, which keeps the number honest and lets you compare where a task actually is against where the plan expected it to be.
| Signal | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Status | The workflow stage, for example Not Started, In Progress or Review Required. |
| Progress percent | How far along the task is, from 0 to 100, set by the task owner. |
| Planned percent | Where the schedule says the task should be by today, shown beside progress. |
| Bar fill on the timeline | A visual of the progress percent inside the task's duration bar. |

Open a task to set its status and drag the progress slider to its real percent.
Key takeaways
- One plan, three views: List for editing, Board for status flow, Timeline for the schedule and its health.
- The Gantt draws dependency arrows, a Today line and a progress fill in each bar, and zooms Day to Month without reflowing.
- Scheduling and timeline shading share one company calendar, so due dates and non-working days never disagree.
- Progress percent is set by owners and shown against the planned percent, so slippage is visible at a glance.
