What a project looks like in Thicket
Each example is a Thicket project partway through its work: messages posted, to-dos part done, files shared and dates on the calendar. Open the one closest to your work to see each of its tools and what is in it.
Free plan. No card required. Includes a 30-day Pro trial.
Outdoors and sport
Avalanche safety courses
An avalanche course needs enough students, two instructors and terrain the snowpack allows on the day, and each of those can change within a week. This project holds course dates and rosters, field day photos, snowpack notes and each guide's plan for the next day.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, Boards, To-dos, Calendar, Check-ins
Group camping trip
A camping trip for several families means booking a site, planning every meal and deciding who brings each piece of shared gear. Here the trip is one project: the bookings, a board of shared gear, lists for food and the night sky, the calendar and site photos.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards, Chat, Calendar
Climbing gym expansion
A climbing gym that adds a room builds it beside members still climbing, and the room must pass inspection before it opens. This project holds each order on a board, photos of the build and the light-up climbing board, three to-do lists and the opening dates.
Tools: Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos, Message Board, Calendar
Ski season opening
A ski hill can open only when the lift has passed its inspection, the runs have enough snow and the lodge and staff are ready. This project holds the lift and lodge work, snowmaking, hill and lodge photos, the dates up to opening day and a weekly check-in.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Chat, Boards, Calendar, Check-ins
Sailing regatta
A regatta needs a race committee, safety boats and a launch plan for every entry, and wind or low water can change that plan. This project holds lists for the water, the shore and entries, coach boats on a board, parents' questions, tune-up photos and the committee's chat.
Tools: To-dos, Chat, Docs & Files, Boards, Message Board
Summer surf camps
Before the first morning of a surf camp, the school needs wetsuits that fit, instructors with current lifeguard certificates and a plan for days without waves. This project holds camp, gear and staff lists, flat-day plans on a board, try-it morning photos and the daily wave reports.
Tools: Chat, Message Board, To-dos, Calendar, Boards, Docs & Files
Marine research survey
A survey at sea depends on the weather and the boat, and each day on the water brings back hundreds of photos to sort. This project holds the survey log, each day's fluke photos on a board, photos from the boat, four to-do lists and the calendar.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar
Trail building
A new trail is built by a small crew and volunteers, on ground that can turn out softer or rockier than the survey showed. Here a boardwalk is one project: the feet built each day, the crew's chat, progress photos, four build lists and the opening date.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Calendar, Chat, Check-ins
