Projects
Project management with real governance
Visual boards to run initiatives with a beginning, middle, and end. With owners, deadlines, approvals, and an audit trail on every card. And when a project needs a recurring process, you attach a Flow right onto the board.

One platform
Three kinds of work, one place
Most companies scatter work across spreadsheets, chat, and disconnected tools. In Cadenio, everything your operation does lives together, under the same governance.
Recurring processes
What repeats, the same way every time
Onboarding, month-end close, audits, renewals. Standardized, scheduled, and executed identically every cycle.
See FlowsStandalone tasks
The one-off that isn't a project
A to-do that just came up, with an owner and a due date. It shows up in the right person's My Work, without becoming a whole process.
See My WorkProjects
Initiatives with a beginning and an end
Many moving parts, shifting priority, every card unique. A visual board where everything has an owner, a deadline, and a history.

When to use which
Project or process? The rule is simple
Board
Use a project
- A beginning and an end, one concrete deliverable
- Every card is unique and priority shifts
- You drag cards between columns
- Examples: product launch, customer implementation, office move
Pipeline
Use a process (Flow)
- Recurring, always the same steps
- Advances step by step, with dependencies
- Creates evidence on every run
- Examples: employee onboarding, month-end close, expense approval
The best of both
Projects that pull in your processes
A project is rarely just loose tasks. It needs formal approvals and processes that already run in your company. In Cadenio, you attach an entire Flow as a project card: the board shows progress, the Flow enforces the rigor.
The highlighted card is an entire Flow attached to the project: purchase approval with a finance gate and an audit trail. The project manager sees the card advance on the board; finance runs the process with full control. Nothing moves without a recorded approval.
Capabilities
Everything a serious project needs
Kanban board
Columns you define, drag cards, and see the whole project at a glance. Completion is the source of truth, not just the column.
Rich cards
Checklist, attachments, comments, owner, and start and due dates. Every card carries everything the workstream needs.
Approval cards
An approval column triggers a formal sign-off before a card moves on. Nothing advances without a recorded yes from the right approver.
Attach Flows to a project
Pull an entire recurring process onto the board as a card. The project shows progress; the Flow enforces the rigor.
Audit trail
Every move, comment, and approval is recorded with an immutable timestamp. The project tells its own story.
Project health
On track, at risk, or off track, with a note from the owner. Status is visible to everyone, no need to ask.
Also on every project: labels, watchers, favorites, and per-project access control.
The same rigor as your processes
A project is evidence too
All the governance you know from processes applies to projects: an audit trail on every card, formal approvals, and exportable history. A customer implementation or a compliance remediation stays auditable from start to finish.
Plans
Projects on every plan
The Starter plan keeps up to 3 active projects at a time, archived projects don't count. Business and Enterprise plans have unlimited projects.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about projects
What's the difference between a project and a process (Flow) in Cadenio?
A project is an initiative with a beginning and an end and many moving parts, run on a visual board where you drag cards. A process (Flow) is recurring, with the same steps every time, advancing step by step. Use a project for a launch or an implementation; use a Flow for onboarding, close, or approvals that repeat.
Can I attach a recurring process to a project?
Yes, and it's one of the biggest differentiators. You attach an entire Flow as a project card. Example: in a product-launch project, the purchase-approval card is a Flow with a finance approval gate and an audit trail. The board shows the card advancing; the Flow runs the process with full control.
Do projects have an audit trail like processes?
They do. Every card move, comment, approval, and attachment is recorded with an immutable timestamp. A customer-implementation or compliance-remediation project stays auditable from start to finish, with exportable history.
How many projects can I have?
On the Starter plan you keep up to 3 active projects at a time (archived projects don't count). On Business and Enterprise, projects are unlimited.
Can I migrate from Trello, Asana, or Monday?
Yes. The board-and-card grammar is the same one you already know, so the team adapts quickly. The difference is that here a project comes with formal approvals, an audit trail, and the ability to attach your recurring processes, without switching tools.
