Board & Schedules Overview : Smartapp.com

The Plan Board on Desktop and Devices helps in planning high-level tasks, breaking them down into smaller tasks, and dispatching them to the right resource. It also shows the progress and percentage of completion of the task in real-time.

By Default, Planner opens to the 'Boards & Schedules' Plan Board option.
