The Design Planner is a ready-made Storyflow board for planning design work, with space for briefs, references, tasks, and timelines on a single infinite canvas.
About this template
This template turns scattered design work into one plan the whole team can see. Instead of briefs in one place, references in another, and tasks in a third, you bring it all onto a single infinite canvas where the work is easy to read at a glance. The plan becomes easy to share with stakeholders, easy to rearrange when priorities shift, and easy to keep current as projects move.
It is built for designers, design leads, and small studios juggling several projects at once. Whether you are planning a sprint, mapping a single project, or keeping an overview of everything in flight, the board keeps the brief and references next to the tasks so context is never lost.
The board opens with sections for project briefs, reference material, a task list, and a timeline, plus note blocks for priorities and deadlines. Rearrange the blocks, swap in your own projects, write notes, and invite collaborators to comment.
