Boards

The project's pin-up wall, live.

An infinite canvas for every project. Pin up drawings and mark them up in a crit, sort precedents, draw the adjacency diagram, run a workshop with the client. The tasks, docs and schemes on it are the real ones, and your agent works on it with you.

A crit wall on a project board: a floor plan pinned up and marked in red, comments beside it, and the tasks made from the marks.

Crit wall

Mark up the drawing. Leave with the tasks.

Pin a drawing up as a sheet and draw over it in the review: circles, arrows, notes. Ask your agent to turn the marks into tasks, and each one appears beside the sheet as a live card, linked to the board, with who answers for it.

  • Always the latest. A sheet shows the file's latest version, and its name says which.
  • Marks stay with it. What is drawn over a sheet moves and exports with it.

Client workshop

Run the workshop on the board.

Start from the Client workshop template: agenda, what we heard, likes, concerns, decisions and next steps. Let the client add their own sticky notes, live, on that board alone.

  • Live cards. Add a task, a doc, a scheme or another board, and it shows what the app says now. Paste an Arqiflow link and it becomes its card.
  • Drop a file. It is kept in the project's Files and pinned up as a sheet.

With your agent

Sort, group and draw, on request.

Select a pile of precedents and ask your agent to sort them by theme: it makes the frames and lays each one out. It reads the board, looks at a marked-up sheet, adds notes and cards, and lays out the schemes side by side with their figures.

  • On the record. What the agent does is a version of the board, marked as your agent's.
  • As it happens. Everyone with the board open sees its changes arrive.

Adjacency diagram

From the brief to the bubble diagram.

Your agent draws the adjacency diagram from the brief's rooms and how they relate, or from a scheme's plan: circles sized by area, coloured by zone, joined by direct access, close by or keep apart, with a key. The same brief gives the same diagram every time.

Beyond the board

In the doc, on the task, in search.

Show a board inside a doc, list the boards a task works from, and find a board by any word written on it. Name a colleague on a board and they hear about it in their Inbox.

Everything a pin-up wall needs.

Questions

Can clients and consultants use a board?
Guests see a project's boards, live. Let a board take their sticky notes and drawings, board by board, for a workshop with the client.
Who can change a board?
Anyone who can change the project. Whoever only reads sees it all, live, and changes nothing.
What happens to pictures I drop on a board?
They are kept in the project's Files, so they are never lost with the board.
