Kanban Calendar
Works best for:
Kanban Boards, Agile Methodology, Agile Workflows
Kanban Calendar template enhances workflow visualization by integrating Kanban principles with time management. It enables teams to plan and track tasks across days, weeks, or months, facilitating efficient resource allocation and timely delivery. With customizable features and intuitive design, this template empowers teams to optimize their workflow and meet project deadlines effectively.
Action Plan Template
Works best for:
Education, Project Management, Project Planning, Kanban
Why create an action plan? Long-term business strategies and goals are only good if you can make them a reality—by accomplishing every small task along the way. An action plan lists those tasks and lays them out in clear detail. It helps you keep everything in order, make sure nothing is missed, and get stakeholders on the same page to complete a project quickly and effectively. This template will help you write an action plan that’s SMART: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
Feature Planning Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Agile Methodology, Product Management
Features are what make a product or service fun, but adding new ones is no walk in the park. It takes many steps—ideating, designing, refining, building, testing, launching, and promoting—and just as many stakeholders. Feature Planning lets you put a smooth, sturdy process in place, so you can add a feature successfully, and spend less time and resources doing it. That makes our Feature Planning Template a smart starting point for anyone looking to add new product features, especially members of product, engineering, marketing, and sales teams.
Planning With Purpose
Works best for:
Agile Workflows, Agile Methodology, Kanban Boards
Planning With Purpose template offers a structured approach for setting and achieving goals effectively. By aligning actions with objectives, teams can prioritize tasks and track progress towards desired outcomes. This template fosters clarity and accountability, enabling teams to stay focused on what matters most and adapt their plans as needed to drive success.
User Story Map Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Desk Research, Mapping
Popularized by Jeff Patton in 2005, the user story mapping technique is an agile way to manage product backlogs. Whether you’re working alone or with a product team, you can leverage user story mapping to plan product releases. User story maps help teams stay focused on the business value and release features that customers care about. The framework helps to get a shared understanding for the cross-functional team of what needs to be done to satisfy customers' needs.
Business Mindmap

Diagramming

It provides a structured framework for capturing and connecting thoughts, insights, and action items.
