Read more	Plan brings together all of your teams, calendars, projects, tools, and documents in a single location. Plan automates work life so you and your team may work less and accomplish more. It's part calendar, half project manager. Plan is similar to a personal assistant at work. It intelligently organizes projects and tasks across all of your team's platforms, including calendar, email, JIRA, Zendesk, Salesforce, and Github. Plan is a better method to manage your Google Drive files than a list of thousands of documents that are unsorted and read-only. Simply set due dates to tasks, and then drag them from the agenda view to the calendar with ease. Your lists, like the rest of the world, are likely to change as well. Lists that you no longer want visible in the sidebar can now be archived. Agile Methodologies, Collaboration Tools, Gantt/Timeline View, Kanban Board, Milestone Tracking, Time & Expense Tracking, and Traditional Methodologies are some of Plan's features. Read more
