Clear ownership
Assign one person or a group. Add start dates, due dates, priority and estimates so everyone knows who owns the work and when it matters.
Shape the work around the way your team works
Plan the detail on a task. See the bigger picture as a board, list, timeline or calendar. Filter, group and move work without rebuilding the plan.
Enough structure for real work
A task can be a quick reminder or the working record for a complex deliverable. Add the detail when it helps. Leave it out when it does not.
Big tasks, broken down
Use child tasks and checklists for the detail. Progress rolls up to the parent, so a larger piece of work is easy to understand at a glance.
The conversation stays with the task
Keep comments, activity, attachments and links beside the work. Mention teammates or agents when you need a decision or an action.
Relationships across the workspace
Link related tasks across boards and spaces, add work to a larger project, or move it without losing its history.
Time and delivery context
Track time on the task, keep estimates beside the work and see dates in the layouts where they make sense.
Follow what matters
Subscribe to a task or a wider part of the workflow. Superthread brings relevant changes into your inbox instead of making you poll the board.
A board does more than Kanban
Switch perspective without duplicating the work. Each person can get the level of detail they need from the same source of truth.
Board, list, timeline or calendar
Use a Kanban board for flow, a dense list for triage, a Gantt-style timeline for planning, or a calendar for date-driven work. Choose the sort order and task details that each view shows.
Workflows that fit the team
Name your own columns and map them to status types. Drag work between columns, boards and spaces as the job moves forward.
Groups and swimlanes
Group and subgroup work by status, priority, tags, space and other useful properties. Hide empty rows and columns when you want a tighter view.
Powerful filters
Narrow a board by assignee, creator, status, tag, project, date, priority, estimate and more. Include what matters or exclude what does not.
Custom board backgrounds
Upload your own image or choose one from Unsplash. Give each client, project or team board a visual identity that is easy to recognise at a glance.
Bulk changes without busywork
Select many tasks and update status, assignees, dates, tags, priority or project together. Move a whole set of work in one pass.
Flexible enough for clients and internal requests
Keep the workflow specific without making reporting and hand-offs harder.
For client delivery
Give account and delivery teams one accurate view of the work, without flattening every client into the same process.
- Run a campaign or website launch from its own board
- Show dates in a timeline for the client review
- Track change requests, approvals and deliverables together
- Move work between specialist teams without copying it
For internal service teams
Turn incoming requests into visible, owned work for IT, People, Finance, Legal and Operations.
- Route form submissions into the right workflow
- Triage by priority, requester or service area
- Use swimlanes to separate teams or request types
- Keep the answer and the work on the same task
Medialab moved its engineering workflow from Jira
Its data and engineering team imported its issue-tracking workflow into Superthread and brought formerly separate task boards into one clearer system.
Tasks and boards, answered
-
Which task views does Superthread support?
Boards can be shown as a Kanban board, list, timeline or calendar. You can also group work into swimlanes, change the sort order, hide empty groups and choose which task properties are visible. -
Can I move tasks between boards and spaces?
Yes. Tasks can be dragged or moved to another board, including a board in another space. Their details, discussion and history stay with them. -
Can I save a filtered board?
Yes. Turn a useful set of board filters into a saved View. Views can combine work from several boards and spaces and can be private or shared with the workspace. -
Can I add a background image to a Superthread board?
Yes. Upload your own board background or find an image through Unsplash. The background stays with the board and is also shown when you share that board publicly.
