Themed boards
Group tasks under a single objective — quarterly launches, hiring plans, fundraises, compliance pushes.
Task Boards
Organize work into themed boards — for example 'Q1 Launch' or 'Hiring Plan' — and run the tasks inside each board through to completion, with progress bars, due dates, assignees, and discussion threads.

Everything ships out of the box. No setup, no plugins, no extra tools.
Outcomes & KPI templates
Pre-built templates seed your board with the right outcome and KPI tasks.
Progress, priority, due dates
Each board carries a live progress bar, priority, due date, and category.
Comments & attachments
Discuss work where the work lives — every task has its own thread and file uploads.

Task Boards questions
Is this the same as the old Milestones?+
Yes — Task Boards is the modern name for what used to be 'Milestones'. Everything you had still works.
Why can't I change a task's type after creating it?+
Outcome tasks (pass/fail) and KPI tasks (number tracking) have different data fields. Switching types after the fact would leave fields empty or invalid, so Nautis locks the type at creation. Delete and add a new one if you need to switch.
What's the difference between completing a task and completing a board?+
Completing a task marks that single item done. Completing a board moves the board's overall status to Completed, usually after all its tasks are done. You can mark a board Completed even with some open tasks — the progress bar just reflects that.
How is the board's progress calculated?+
Each task contributes to the total. Outcome tasks count as 100% when done. KPI tasks count by how close the current number is to the target. The board's headline number is the average across all tasks.
Can teammates see boards I haven't shared with them?+
No. Only people on the board's Shared Access list (and admins) can open it. If a teammate can't see a board, edit the board details and add them.
What happens when I delete a board?+
Tasks, discussion, attachments, and activity are all permanently removed. Nautis asks you to confirm. If you might need the data later, duplicate the board first.
Can I archive a board instead of deleting it?+
Set the status to Cancelled or Completed. The board moves out of your active view but the data is preserved, and you can filter back to it any time.
Can I share a board with just a couple of teammates?+
Yes. Each board has its own Shared Access list — anyone not on it (besides admins) won't see the board.
