01 / A WAY TO ORGANIZE IT
Everything around shipping falls between your tools.
The code is only part of a release. Checks, documentation and launch preparation can disappear between the issue tracker and the calendar.
Projects hold the context
Mobile app · Web companion · Product launch
Channels show the kind of work

Before you get started
Does Polylane connect task completion to CI or deploy my app?
No. Use it to plan the work around your release. Your issue tracker, source control and CI remain responsible for code, checks and deployment.
How do I create “Release preparation”?
Add the tasks to Mobile app, select the related tasks and create a batch called Release preparation. Use In sequence to run them back-to-back, then choose a date and time. The example totals 45 minutes.
Can I try the real application before creating an account?
Yes. The sample opens the actual Polylane planner with disposable example work. You can edit tasks, change views and move the batch. Sample edits reset on reload and do not change your saved planner. Choose Use this template to review and add a fresh copy to your own planner. Preview edits are not copied.
Which plan do I need for this three-project example?
The three-project example fits Solo or the 14-day Solo trial. Free keeps two projects on the device, so a smaller two-project version works there. Solo adds unlimited projects and channels with cloud sync. See pricing for current terms.
