NOAN’s project management system is designed to be the backbone of your workflow—combining a powerful Kanban board with an AI assistant that understands your business. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

1. Navigating Your Priorities

  • **Where to Find:**On the right side of your NOAN workspace, you’ll see your priorities widget.

  • **What It Does:**Highlights overdue and upcoming tasks (e.g., tasks in red are overdue).

  • **Assistant Integration:**The assistant knows your priorities and can surface them on demand.

2. Exploring the Task Board (Kanban View)

  • **Access:**Click into the Task Board for a classic Kanban experience.

  • Manual or AI-Driven:  Add tasks manually with “Add Task.”

  • Or, ask the assistant to create tasks for you.

3. Creating and Managing Tasks

  • Task Details:  Set a title and description.

  • Assign a due date.

  • Add tags (e.g., “Customer Success”—create new tags on the fly).

  • Assign team members.

4. The Power of Tags

  • **Why Tags Matter:**Tags let you filter and “cut” your board by department or function (e.g., Marketing, Customer Success).

  • **Single Board, Multiple Views:**No need for multiple boards—just filter by tag to see what matters to you.

5. Letting the Assistant Do the Heavy Lifting

  • Natural Language Commands:  Ask, “What are my priorities today?” to get a list of urgent tasks.

  • Instruct, “Add a new task to onboard customer David Smith, due Friday, assign Daniel, tag Customer Success, status In Progress.”

  • Mark tasks as complete by telling the assistant, “Mark this task as completed and move to done.”

  • Upload notes or documents and ask the assistant to turn them into tasks—split or merge as needed.

6. Advanced Tips

  • **Assistant as a Team Member:**Treat the assistant like a smart employee—give clear, structured instructions using the language of the app.

  • **Automate from Notes:**After a call, ask the assistant to review memos and create tasks automatically.

  • **Flexible Task Creation:**The assistant can handle single or multiple tasks, adapting to your workflow.

7. Why NOAN’s Approach Is Different

  • **Unified Board:**One Kanban board for your whole business—no more juggling multiple boards.

  • **AI-Native:**The assistant understands, updates, and manages tasks for you.

  • **Seamless Collaboration:**Assign tasks, filter by tags, and keep everyone aligned—whether solo or with a team.

With NOAN, project management becomes conversational, flexible, and deeply integrated with your business knowledge. Start by talking to your assistant - soon, you’ll be running your entire workflow with natural language.
