Campaign Task Board

A local Kanban board for big sales. Columns for warm-up, peak, post-sale, retro. Drag to update. Knows who is stuck where.

The problem

Every big sale is dozens of parallel tasks — creatives, coupons, listings, campaign pages, social posts, support scripts. Status scatters across chats and docs. Nobody knows who is stuck where.

The solution approach

A local task board. One campaign, one board with four stage columns. Cards carry owner, due date, status. Status changes auto-timestamp. Retros become easy.

What you will end up with

  • Home lists campaigns with an overall progress bar each.
  • Click into a board with four columns; drag cards across.
  • Cards show task, owner, due, status.
  • Due within 3 days: yellow dot; overdue: red.
  • Bulk-import from Excel; export full campaign details.
