# Views in Projects

Projects in Motion can be visualized in multiple ways. Each view highlights a different dimension of work, and you can switch between them at any time without losing data. (see more on Views & dashboards)

**List View**

* A structured, table-like layout showing tasks line by line.
* Supports custom columns (e.g., assignee, priority, due date) and grouping by criteria such as stage or status.
* Best for detailed task management and triage.

**Kanban View**

* Displays tasks as cards in stage-based columns.
* Drag-and-drop tasks between columns to update their stage.
* Useful for tracking work in progress and quickly spotting bottlenecks.

**Gantt Chart**

* Timeline-based visualization showing tasks, dependencies, and deadlines.
* Provides a high-level view of how tasks and stages align across time.
* Ideal for long-term planning, identifying scheduling conflicts, and monitoring progress against milestones.

**Behavior rules**

* Switching between views doesn’t change the underlying project data — it only changes how the work is displayed.
* Filters and grouping selections persist across views for consistency.
* Progress indicators (e.g., completed tasks, blockers, overdue items) are visible in all views, with different visual emphasis depending on layout.

**Why it matters**\
Views let you manage projects from the perspective that best suits the work at hand — whether you need the detail of a list, the workflow clarity of Kanban, or the timeline planning of a Gantt chart.
