For project and product managers
Beta goes live Thursday. Your sprint is everywhere.
In Plexii, your sprint gets one desk.
The problem
Mid-sprint the board is in one window, the stakeholder update in a document and the promises you made in chat. The promises are the first thing to get lost.
In the video: “Beta goes live Thursday. The board's in one window, the update's in a doc, promises get lost in chat.”
How PlexiDesk handles it
In PlexiDesk, your sprint gets one desk. A desk is one canvas for one piece of work, and the video tours three of its widgets:
Who's doing what
In the video: “Who's doing what, and where it's up to.”
A Table widget shows who is doing what and where it is up to, and can switch to Kanban lanes or a timeline.
The update
In the video: “The update your stakeholders are waiting on.”
A Page widget holds the update your stakeholders are waiting on.
What you promised
In the video: “And the promises that never became tickets.”
A Note widget collects the promises that never became tickets.
When something else comes up
In the video: “Then your boss wants the roadmap. Switch desks. Nothing to rebuild. The sprint waits where you left it.”
The other job gets a desk of its own, so switching does not mean packing anything away. In the video, “Sprint 14: shift-swap beta” stays exactly as it was while “Next-quarter roadmap” is open. Open desks sit side by side as tabs in the open items strip, a click apart, and Resume writes a short note on where a desk stands for when you come back to it.
The sprint on one desk, the roadmap on another.
Try it
Try a product manager deskThe interactive demo builds a ready-made desk for this kind of work in your browser. Nothing to install.
Or set up the desk yourself from a template: each one lists the widgets it needs and how to set it up in PlexiDesk.

Product requirements desk: from feature requests to a PRD and roadmap
A desk where the PRD is argued from a requests table, the counts are charted beside it, and the same table becomes the roadmap in Gantt view and the delivery board in Kanban view.

Project status report desk: the weekly RAG update, drawn from the schedule
A weekly status report that reads its evidence from the schedule on the same desk, so the RAG colour has visible numbers behind it and a client can watch a live view.
