Moving a team into a new building
An office move happens over one weekend, and every desk, computer and box must be packed before it and working after it. Here the move is one project: lists for move weekend, the build-out and IT, photos of the new building, and the books on a board.
Eastbrook Literacy Council posts the move weekend plan and each week's news on the and splits the move into four lists in To-dos, three of them on the progress chart. Photographs of the new building sit in one Docs & Files and the floor plans and room plan in another, the 9,420-book collection moves section by section on Boards, and quick questions go in Chat.

Business expansion
Taking on more space means building work, new equipment and an opening date, all while the business stays open. Here the expansion is one project: the building work, the new rooms and the lease, deliveries and inspections, and photos of the new space.

Warehouse software rollout
A warehouse has to keep shipping while each shift learns new handhelds, labels and screens, one area at a time. Here the rollout is one project: the cutover checklists, each area's progress on a board, the vendor's mail, floor photos and the supervisors' end-of-shift answers.

Electric ferry launch
Before a new ferry carries its first riders, the boat, the chargers on shore and the trained crew must all be ready on the same date. Here the launch is one project: assembly and landing photos, the trials punch list, four lists of work and the opening timetable.
