Structure of vPlan

In vPlan, you work with a smart structure that helps you organise processes and work in a clear way. Whether you have a simple process or a complex one with multiple layers and teams, the structure in vPlan helps you stay on top of things.

Our structure step by step

Environment

This is your digital office: the place where everything begins and comes together. Here you manage users, activities and resources, forming the foundation of your entire organisation.

Workspace

The workspace is your central place to organise planning boards for one team, department, or business unit.

Board

Boards are the foundation of your planning. Set up your workflow and get a visual overview of all tasks and processes, fully customisable to your needs.

Stage

Stages help you structure your process and planning board and make it visible where work is located.

Collection

A collection groups multiple cards under one umbrella, such as a project or order. This keeps all related information centrally organised, like attachments and communication.

Card

A card is an individual task, assignment, or part of a project. You link it to a date and resource and fill it with labels, custom fields, or checklists. Cards move across the planboard as work progresses.

Subcard

Use a subcard when a task is too big or complex. This allows you to break work into smaller steps and better track what still needs to be done.

Create capacity in vPlan

Stages

In vPlan, you divide your process into stages. These can be steps such as preparation, execution and control or departments like planning or production. By dividing work into stages, you can clearly see in which step something is and where capacity is being used.

Stages bring structure to your process.

Activities

Link activities to your stages and add time to your work. This way, you indicate how many hours a task or project costs and make your planning measurable. You can keep it simple with one activity or work more specifically with multiple types of work.

Activities translate work into time and provide insight into workload.

Resources

Resources include everything and everyone required to carry out the work: people, machines, or spaces. By assigning them a schedule, vPlan knows when they are available. Link activities to resources to see who or what is occupied and when, and how much capacity is still available.

Resources make your planning realistic and achievable.
