## Key features

- **Kanban boards stored in Google Drive:** Boards are kept as files in Google Drive and shared with the same access permissions as other Drive files. Changes appear for collaborators in real time.
- **Gantt chart:** A board can be switched to a Gantt chart, where dragging the edge of a bar changes the schedule on the board as well. It comes with the Professional plan, as do task dependencies.
- **Time tracker:** The Professional plan tracks time spent on cards and can export time tracker data to Google Sheets.
- **Google Workspace integration:** Cards can be created from Gmail and Google Forms, dates pushed to Google Calendar, and files attached from Drive. Shared Drives and Vault integration need Enterprise.
- **Reports:** Built-in reports drawn from board data include burn-up and burn-down charts, a cumulative flow diagram and a performance chart.
- **Microsoft 365 version:** With a Microsoft account, data is kept in OneDrive and tasks can be created from Outlook emails. Creating boards in SharePoint is limited to the Enterprise plan.
