How Shape Workspace Works

A complete PM workspace — from planning to reporting — without the complexity of enterprise tools.

The core workflow

Four steps that take a project from idea to delivered

1

Plan your project

Create a project from scratch, start from a professional template, or describe your project in plain English and let AI generate an initial plan. Add tasks, set milestones, assign dates and resources — all in one place.

List, Gantt, Calendar and Kanban views included

Manage tasks across every project

Each team member has a personal My Tasks view — all their assigned work across every project, in one place. Filter by status, due date or what's overdue. Open a task and update it without leaving the view.

No more hunting across projects to find your work

Log time as work happens

Record hours directly against tasks. The project timesheets view shows every time entry, flags tasks with missing time, and summarises hours and value by resource — so you always know where time has gone.

Export timesheets to CSV at any point

Report and stay in control

Live reports across your entire portfolio — hours logged, budget vs actual, completion rates, overdue tasks and resource workload. Filter by project, date range or status. Share a clear picture with stakeholders without building it manually.
