⚙️ Configure Base Settings

Standard View:
→ Choose between Planning, List or Delivery

Default Task Type:
→ Choose between Task or T‑Card

These settings determine what is selected by default when the board opens and when new tasks are created.


🗓️ Customize Takt Planning

Takt Length:
→ Choose Week or Day (with or without weekends)

Takt Start:
→ Define the starting day for the first takt

Number of Takts:
→ Determine how many takts (e.g., weeks) should be displayed in advance

Show Gates & Milestones:
→ Optionally toggle on for projects with fixed handover points


✅ T‑Card as the Preferred Task Type

T‑Cards are ideal for regular, recurring tasks such as rounds, audits, or cleanings.

T‑Cards automatically appear in the planning period with status indicators:

  • red = open

  • green = done

  • green with PDCA circle = done with deviation

Automatic re‑creation is supported for daily, weekly or monthly frequencies.

✨ Tips & Best Practices

  • Set the number of takts generously (e.g., 10 weeks) for greater planning security

  • Use takt lengths without weekends if your team only operates on weekdays

  • T‑Cards are especially useful for visual process control following SFM logic

  • Changes in settings take effect immediately on the task board
