Timeline

Timeline is a visual representation of planned and current tasks over time. This mode allows you to set a time frame for each task, i.e. the start and end date of work on it.

In Kaiten, you can stretch and narrow the time intervals for tasks. You can also move the time slot along the timeline. The timeline may have different scales. You can assign a person to a task when pointing at a time slot:

You can add and edit tasks directly in Timeline mode without going back to the Boards.

You can change the column and the lane in which the card is located.
