Project Management Overview

Last updated on Aug 10, 2026

Overview

Project Management is where your team plans and tracks marketing work inside LayerFive, next to the data that drives it. It gives you tasks, shared project workspaces, four ways to view your work, and an AI Inbox that turns performance findings into suggested tasks.

It sits under Axis in the left navigation, with four areas.

Area What it's for
My Tasks Your personal view of the tasks you own, across every project
Projects Shared workspaces where a team organizes work, each with its own tasks, docs, and settings
AI Inbox Tasks suggested automatically from your marketing performance, for you to review and act on
Templates Saved project setups you reuse when creating a new project

Ways to view your work

My Tasks and each project offer the same four views, so you read the same tasks in whatever form fits the moment.

View Use it when
List You want a sortable, filterable table of everything
Kanban You are managing flow across statuses and want to drag tasks between stages
Calendar You are planning around dates and deadlines
Timeline You are looking at how tasks span across days and weeks

Across all views you search by task, filter by assignee, group tasks, and export. Use Add Task to create one by hand.

Task statuses

Every task moves through five statuses, shown as columns in Kanban and as colors across the other views.

Status Meaning
Not Started Created but not yet begun
In Progress Being worked on now
In Review Work done, awaiting review
Completed Finished
Blocked Stalled on a dependency or blocker

How the AI Inbox fits

The AI Inbox is what makes this more than a standalone task tool. As LayerFive analyzes your marketing data, it surfaces issues and opportunities and proposes them as tasks, each with the finding behind it.

These are suggestions, not instructions. Review each one against your own data before acting, the same way you would weigh a recommendation from an analyst. The AI Inbox exists so nothing worth looking at goes unnoticed. The decision to act stays yours.

What to check and when

Situation Do this
Starting your day Open My Tasks to see what is assigned to you
Setting up a new workstream Create a Project, ideally from a template so statuses and fields stay consistent
Reviewing what LayerFive found Open the AI Inbox, read each suggestion's finding, and act on the ones your data supports
Standardizing how your team works Save a Template so every new project starts the same way
