The Sprint view
A rolling fortnight of work, two week-rows of seven days, with an Unscheduled tray for everything that has no date yet.
By ToDidIt Product TeamUpdated
Fourteen days, laid out as two week-rows of seven rather than one strip that scrolls sideways. A fortnight is about as far ahead as planning stays honest, and stacking the weeks means the second one is visible rather than off the edge.
The window rolls: it starts from your today, not from a fixed Monday, so it is always the next two weeks rather than whatever remains of a calendar block.
Tip
Today is worked out in your browser, in your own timezone, rather than on the server. Fly to another continent and the window follows you rather than staying on the office clock.
Everything with no due date, kept beside the fortnight instead of hidden behind a filter. Drag a card out of it onto a day to schedule it, and drag one back in to clear its date entirely.
That second direction is the useful one: unscheduling is a real decision, and it needs to be as easy as scheduling or people leave dead dates on tasks forever.
Ten minutes at the start of a week, and it is mostly dragging.
Open Horizon and pick Sprint.
Open HorizonPress h. The view switcher swaps the panel in place, so your filters survive the change.
Work through the Unscheduled tray first.
Anything you actually intend to do in the next two weeks gets dropped on a day. Anything you do not is telling you something, and it is allowed to stay undated.
Drag days that are obviously overloaded.
Dropping a card on another day sets that day as its due date. The change is optimistic and undoable, so a wrong drag costs ⌘ Z.
Look for before you finish.
A padlocked card cannot start yet. Click it to see what is in the way and open the blocker from there, rather than planning a week around work nobody can begin.
Below 1280px the two weekend days share one stacked track rather than taking a seventh of the width each. Weekday columns with real work in them get the room, and the weekend stays visible and completable rather than squeezed to a sliver.
Widen the window past that and the full seven columns come back.

Horizon
The planning container. One set of incomplete tasks, three layouts: Sprint, Calendar and Kanban, switchable in place. Squad and up.
Sprints, ceremonies and story points
What a sprint actually is, what the goal, review and retro are for, and how story points work without pretending to be hours. All of it optional.
The Calendar view
A full month of tasks on their due dates, paging anywhere you like, and a day-at-a-time layout on a phone.
The Kanban view
One cross-project board for the workspace, with columns you name yourself and a Log column that is completion rather than a label for it.
Dependencies
Mark a task as blocked by another. Blocked cards carry a padlock in Horizon, and the padlock tells you exactly what is in the way.
