Project Dashboard

Your project dashboard provides a clear view of all work in progress, organized into three distinct stages that mirror your development workflow: Plan → Build → Test.

Overview

The dashboard displays three stage cards that group your PRDs (Product Requirements Documents) based on their current status:

• Plan 📋 — PRDs being planned or awaiting implementation
• Build 🔨 — PRDs being actively implemented
• Test ✅ — PRDs in testing and review phase

Each stage card shows all relevant PRDs without pagination, so you can see your entire workflow at a glance.

Stage Card Layout

Visual Design

Each stage card has:

• Stage name and icon at the top
• PRD count badge showing how many items are in that stage
• PRD list with all items in priority order
• Responsive layout that stacks vertically on narrow screens

Stage Mapping

Your PRDs are automatically organized based on their status:

Stage	PRD Statuses	What It Means
Plan	Draft, Ready for Confirmation, Ready	Planning work, awaiting implementation
Build	In Progress, Changes Requested	Active development work
Test	In Review, Approved to Commit	Testing and review phase

Note: Completed and archived PRDs don't appear on the main dashboard. Access them via the View Archive link.

PRD Display

PRD Information

Each PRD in the stage cards shows:

• Title of the PRD
• Priority badge (Critical 🔴, High 🟡, Medium 🔵, Low ⚪)
• Story count indicating scope
• Live session indicator when someone is actively working

Sort Order

PRDs are sorted by:

Priority (Critical → High → Medium → Low)

Last updated date (most recent first)

Live Session Indicators

When someone is actively working on a PRD, you'll see:

• 🟢 Live pulse — Active work happening now (heartbeat within 30 seconds)
• 🟡 Claimed indicator — PRD is claimed but no recent activity
• User avatar showing who is working

Hover over the indicator for details like "[Name] is working on this" or "[Name] claimed this 2 hours ago".

Context Menu Actions

Click any PRD to open a context menu with actions appropriate for that PRD's status and your permissions.

Action Matrix

The available actions depend on the PRD's current status:

Status	Available Actions
Draft	Edit (via planner), Archive
Ready for Confirmation	Review & Confirm, Edit, Archive
Ready	Start Building, Review/Refine, Archive
In Progress	Resume Work, View Progress, Release Claim
Changes Requested	Resume Work, View Feedback, Release Claim
In Review	Review Progress, Request Changes, Approve
Approved to Commit	Commit & Complete, Reject (back to review)

Permission-Based Actions

Your available actions also depend on:

• Ownership — You have full access to PRDs you created or claimed
• Organization role — Admins have additional options like session takeover
• Current claim status — Whether someone else is actively working on the PRD

View Archive

At the bottom of the dashboard, you'll find a "View Archive" link that opens a modal with:

• Completed tab — PRDs that have been successfully implemented
• Archived tab — PRDs that were archived without completion

See the PRD Archive article for full details on managing archived PRDs.

Empty States

When a stage has no PRDs, you'll see:

• Plan: "No PRDs in planning"
• Build: "No PRDs in development"
• Test: "No PRDs in testing"

This is normal when you're just getting started or when all work has moved to the next stage.

Best Practices

Managing Your Workflow

• Keep Plan populated — Always have upcoming work ready to begin
• Limit Work in Progress — Avoid having too many PRDs in Build simultaneously
• Move through Test quickly — Review and approve completed work promptly

Using Session Indicators

• Check live indicators before claiming work to avoid conflicts
• Coordinate with teammates when you see active work happening
• Use session takeover only when necessary

Priority Management

• Critical items should move through stages quickly
• Lower priority items can wait if higher priority work needs attention
• Balance quick wins (low priority, small scope) with important features

Troubleshooting

PRDs not appearing in expected stage

Check the PRD's exact status in its detail view. The status might not be what you expect, or it may have been recently changed by another team member.

Session indicators not updating

Session indicators refresh automatically. If they seem stale:

Check your network connection

Refresh the page

Verify the other person is still actively working

Context menu not showing expected actions

Your available actions depend on:

• Your role in the organization
• Whether you own/have claimed the PRD
• The organization's session policies
• The PRD's current status
