Sections & Cycles
Organize a project into sections and run time-boxed cycles to plan and pace delivery.
Sections and cycles are two ways to structure the tasks inside a project.
Sections
Sections are named groups that keep a project tidy — for example "Backlog", "In Progress", and "Done", or any grouping that suits your workflow. Add sections, reorder them, and drag tasks between them as work moves along. A task belongs to a section, so sections are the clearest way to express a project’s primary workflow.
Cycles
Cycles are time-boxed iterations (sprints) you plan work into. Create a cycle with a start and end date, assign tasks to it, and group a view by cycle to see exactly what’s committed for the current period.
Cycles are optional. Use them when the team plans in periods; use sections alone when work flows continuously. Removing a cycle from a project does not remove its tasks — their cycle association is cleared so the tasks remain available to plan again.
A simple setup
Start with sections such as Backlog, In progress, and Done. Add cycles only after the team has a reason to answer “what are we committing to this period?” Keeping the two concepts separate avoids using a sprint as a substitute for task status.
