The right hierarchy makes
everything easier
Bundle work into epics
Bundle related work items into one epic with a lead, timeline, and progress tracking.
Align projects into initiatives
Pull epics and projects from across the workspace into a single initiative. See scope, progress, and status in one view.
Progress rolls up automatically
Completion flows from work items to epics to initiatives. Every level updates the one above it.
Full depth per project, zero overhead to set up
Enable epics per project and start grouping work immediately. Custom properties, updates, and full history from day one.
Enable with one toggle in project settings
Custom properties: text, dropdown, member fields and more
Duplicate epics within a project or across the workspace
Three layouts for every level of planning
List for quick scanning, board for stage tracking, timeline for scheduling across quarters. Switch views without losing context.
List, board, and timeline layouts with flexible grouping
Timeline view with week, month, and quarter zoom levels
Filter by lead, state, labels, and dates
AI that tracks the big picture before your team has to
Ask questions in natural language
Query any initiative or epic in plain language. Scope, blockers, completion, who owns what. Plane AI answers from live data.
Summarize progress across levels
AI reads work item states across every epic and initiative and generates a single progress summary. One click replaces the weekly status deck.
Small details that make epics and initiatives easy to love
Designed to keep your team aligned, not buried in configuration.
Five initiative states
Drafts, Planned, Active, Completed, and Closed track every initiative through its full lifecycle.
One epic per work item
Each work item belongs to exactly one epic, so scope stays clean and ownership stays clear.
Threaded status updates
Post On Track, At Risk, or Off Track updates on any epic or initiative with threaded discussions and emoji reactions.
Duplicate across projects
Copy an epic to a different project with properties, descriptions, and custom field values intact.
Progressive complexity
Turn on epics or initiatives only when the team is ready. Complexity is a choice, never a prerequisite.
Convert when scope shifts
Convert any epic into a standard work item when the scope changes. Nothing is lost.
Epics and initiatives connect to everything downstream
Hierarchy is only useful when it touches execution. Every connected feature makes the structure more valuable.
