Project Planning

Organize your work with Kanban boards, features, and tasks.

Overview

The Project Planning tool helps you organize and track your development work. It's designed specifically for developers who want a simple but powerful way to manage their projects without the complexity of enterprise tools.

Key Concepts

  • Features - Major functionality or user stories
  • Tasks - Individual work items under a feature
  • Backlog - Ideas and items not yet promoted to features

Enabling Planning

  1. Open your project in SureProgramming
  2. In the Tools section, toggle on "Planning"
  3. Click the "Open" button to access the planning interface
Note: When you enable Planning, an account is automatically created in our planning system (MoreDamnApps) with the same credentials. You'll be signed in seamlessly via SSO.

Working with Features

Features represent major pieces of functionality you're building. Think of them as user stories or epics.

Creating a Feature

  1. Click "Add Feature" in your project
  2. Enter a name that describes the functionality
  3. Add a description with acceptance criteria
  4. Set the status (todo, in progress, done)

Feature Statuses

Status Description
todo Not started yet
in_progress Currently being worked on
done Completed and shipped

Working with Tasks

Tasks are the individual work items that make up a feature. Break down features into small, actionable tasks.

Creating Tasks

  1. Open a feature
  2. Click "Add Task"
  3. Enter a title describing the work
  4. Set priority (1-10, higher = more important)

Task Types

  • Task - Regular development work
  • Bug - Issues that need fixing

Task Statuses

Status Description
todo Not started
in_progress Being worked on
review Ready for review/testing
done Completed

Using the Backlog

The backlog is where you capture ideas, requests, and future work before they're ready to become features.

Adding to Backlog

  1. Go to your project's Backlog section
  2. Click "Add Item"
  3. Enter a title and description
  4. Set priority for sorting

Promoting to Feature

When you're ready to work on a backlog item, you can promote it to a full feature:

  1. Open the backlog item
  2. Click "Promote to Feature"
  3. The item becomes a feature you can break into tasks

Claude AI Integration

The Planning tool integrates with Claude AI to help with project planning. Generate a shareable link that gives Claude context about your project.

Getting the Claude Link

  1. Open your project in the Planning tool
  2. Click "Generate Claude Link"
  3. Copy the generated URL
  4. Paste the URL in a conversation with Claude

Claude will be able to see your project structure, features, and tasks, allowing it to provide more relevant assistance.

Best Practices

  • Keep features focused - Each feature should represent one coherent piece of functionality
  • Break down tasks - Tasks should be completable in a few hours to a day
  • Use the backlog - Capture ideas quickly, refine later
  • Update statuses regularly - Keep the board reflecting reality
  • Write clear descriptions - Future you will thank you
