Client Portalthe two tasks in playbacklog hours, logged before it was scheduledwhere the plan had itdepends on
  • Hours place a task. Backlog hours sit on the timeline as a dashed bar on the days they were booked. The first doing hour moves a To-Do task to Doing and locks a solid bar to that day.
  • Drop, drag, resize. A task with no hours goes on the timeline when it is dropped on a date. A dated bar can be dragged to another day or stretched to more of them.
  • Dependencies move together. Push a task later and everything that depends on it moves too, until the slip meets slack.
  • Ghost bars show the drift. Where the plan was stays visible next to where the work is. Backlog hours stay on the days they were booked, even when the card moves.

The board moves itself

Cards flow from Backlog to To-Do, Doing, and Done as work actually happens. Logging time moves a task forward — there's nothing to drag.

A timeline grounded in reality

Plan in workdays and watch planned become actual. Bars lock to the evidence once work starts, and a projection shows where you'll really land.

Every task in one ledger

A sortable, filterable grid of every task — scope, actual hours, variance, and lead time — that you can edit in place.

Group work by what ships

Epics gather related tasks into a deliverable, then roll up scope, hours, and dates from the work underneath.

OVERHEADnon-task vs taskMonTueWedThuFri

See the overhead you can't usually see

Overhead is your non-task hours weighed against the work that ships — meetings, coordination, the unplanned stuff. The more of it a day holds, the taller the bar, so drift is obvious instead of hidden.

Balance the load across the team

Lanes lay each person's week side by side, by type of work, so you can spot who's overloaded before it slips.

Good to know

Do I drag cards between columns?

No. Tasks move on their own — logging time moves a task to Doing, and completing it moves it to Done.

How are estimates and actuals tracked?

Every task carries an estimate and its logged hours. The ledger and timeline show the variance as it happens.

What is an Epic?

A container for related tasks aimed at one deliverable. It rolls up scope, hours, and dates from the tasks inside it.

What is overhead here?

Your non-task hours — meetings, coordination, unplanned work — measured against the work that ships. The more non-task time, the higher the overhead. AbleTime keeps it visible instead of hidden.

What are Lanes?

A load view that lays each person's week side by side, by type of work, so you can balance the team and spot overload early.
