Structure that still makes sense three weeks later.
A blank board can work for a session and become hard to read as the project grows. ALLO gives ongoing work a repeatable shape, so people can return later and still understand what belongs where.
Change the view, not the system.
Some work needs a canvas. Some needs a board, list, calendar, timeline, or dashboard. Move between List, Kanban, Calendar, Timeline, and Dashboard while keeping the same project and canvas connected.
Every project view leads back to the work.
Kanban for status
Move cards between stages and see what is in progress, waiting for review, or complete. Each card includes a canvas preview, so you can recognize the project before opening it.
List for filtering
Sort by owner, due date, priority, and tag when the team needs a denser view for triage and weekly planning.
Calendar for launches
See launches, reviews, handoffs, and milestones on the dates they happen, then open the related work from the same project.
Timeline for deadlines
See the quarter across one timeline, spot conflicts before they land, and move dates while the work remains connected to the schedule.
Dashboard for a quick read
See status, blockers, recent activity, and links to the canvases behind the update, the view a manager can open before asking the team for a recap.
The card is the canvas.
Every project card opens into the full canvas where the brief, references, files, comments, and work in progress live. Status and substance stay connected instead of being managed in separate tools.
Every card carries the context around it.
Cards in ALLO show which project the work belongs to, which goal it supports, who owns it, when it is due, and which canvas holds the work.
Open a card to see its owner, due date, status, tags, linked goal, and canvas preview. You do not have to hunt for the file or ask what the status means.
A project board should not be a list of places to look.
The board shows where work stands. The canvas shows what the work is. Keep the files, feedback, references, and current state connected so "in review" does not become another question.
