Definition: Project Views are 7 ways to see the same project in Taskade. One set of tasks renders as a list, a board, a calendar, a table, a mind map, an org chart, or a Gantt chart. You edit anywhere; the data stays in sync everywhere.
You're already doing a version of this. The list in your notes app, the spreadsheet you sort by due date, the sticky notes you move across a wall. Those are the same work seen three ways. Taskade gives you all seven of those perspectives over one source of truth, so you never copy data between tools again.
TL;DR: Taskade has exactly 7 project views (List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Org Chart, Gantt) over one shared dataset. Edit in any view and every other view updates instantly. Timeline is part of the Gantt view, not a standalone view. Build a project with all 7 views free.
What are project views?
Project views are 7 visual layers over a single set of project data. The same tasks appear as a checklist, a kanban board, a calendar, a spreadsheet, a radial map, an org tree, or a timeline. Mark a task done in the board and it reads done in the list, the table, and the calendar. There is one source of truth, not seven copies.
This matters because most teams fragment their work across tools. The deadline lives in a calendar, the status lives in a kanban app, the data lives in a spreadsheet, and they drift apart by Wednesday. A view is only a lens, so nothing drifts. Change the data once and pick the lens that fits the question you're answering.
The 7 project views at a glance
One project flows into 7 perspectives. The diagram below shows a single dataset feeding every view, and edits flowing back the other way.
What is each project view best for?
Each view answers a different question. List answers "what's next," board answers "where does this stand," calendar answers "what's due," and so on. Pick the view by the decision you need to make, then switch when the question changes.
| View | What you see | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| List | Nested checklist with subtasks | Daily execution and detailed planning |
| Board | Kanban columns by status | Tracking work across stages |
| Calendar | Tasks placed on dates | Deadlines, scheduling, what's due |
| Table | Spreadsheet rows and custom fields | Data entry, sorting, bulk edits |
| Mind Map | Radial node tree | Brainstorming and mind mapping |
| Org Chart | Top-down hierarchy | Team structure and reporting lines |
| Gantt | Bars on a timeline with dependencies | Roadmaps, milestones, sequencing |
How do you switch between views?
You switch views from the view selector at the top of any project. Tap a view and the same tasks re-render in the new layout in place. No export, no setup, no second tool. Your sort order, filters, and tasks carry over because the data never moved. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see the project views guide in Learn Taskade.

Is Timeline a separate view?
No. Timeline is part of the Gantt view, not a standalone view. The Gantt view shows task bars across a scrolling timeline with dependencies and milestones, and that scrolling timeline component lives inside Gantt. Taskade has exactly 7 project views. Timeline is a feature of one of them, never an eighth.
Why do all 7 views share the same data?
All views read and write the same project record, so a change in one view appears in every other view at once. Move a card to "Done" in the board and the calendar, list, and table reflect it instantly. This is the difference between a view and a separate tool. A view is a lens on one dataset; a separate tool is another copy you have to reconcile.
For teams, this means a manager can watch the Gantt while a contributor works the list and a stakeholder scans the calendar, all looking at the same live truth. No status meeting exists only to sync three versions of the plan.
Building views into a live app with Taskade Genesis
Here's what you'd build. A field operations manager describes their week to Taskade Genesis: "Track every job, who's assigned, when it's due, and what stage it's in." Taskade Genesis generates a live ops dashboard backed by a real project, and the same data is instantly viewable as a board for stage tracking, a calendar for the schedule, a table for the full job log, and a Gantt for the multi-week sequence.
The crew opens the board on their phones and drags jobs across stages. The manager watches the Gantt fill in. The office reads the calendar. One dataset, every view, no spreadsheets to reconcile. Connected projects keep clients, jobs, and crews linked, and reliable automation workflows can move a job to "Scheduled" the moment a date is set. That's an Ops Dashboard your whole team can see their own way.
