Pools

The pool view in Leadtime offers, unlike “Big Picture,” a cross-project overview of all tasks an employee is responsible for.

It’s used for prioritizing, weekly planning, and managing tasks that are spread across multiple client projects.

You’ll find it under Planning → Pool.

The pool view gathers all of an employee’s tasks that are listed in the Accountable field. This allows team leads and account managers to plan together which tickets should be handled in which order.

About Big Picture: Big Picture

Example use case

In the weekly planning meeting between an account manager and their team lead, they go through the pool together:

Review: Check completed tasks, discuss open tickets.
Re-prioritization: Move blocked or waiting tickets to the right.
Goal planning: Add new tasks to the left so they get done first this week.
Sync with developers: Mark important tickets to specifically get them moving.

Accountability (“Accountable”)

The Accountable field in the ticket’s right sidebar shows whose pool the task is shown in.

By default, the person who created the ticket is listed as accountable.

Responsibility can be changed at any time, for example when handing over a customer or project internally.

Sorting projects

You can sort the projects in your own area vertically.

Prioritization

Within a row, you can rearrange tasks horizontally by drag & drop. The order shows the priority – the most important one is always on the left.

Planning view

The pool is often used in planning meetings to prioritize tasks together with the team lead or to define weekly goals.

With the progress bar and the comment view, blockers and open questions can be spotted quickly.

Combining with Big Picture

For a more detailed project view, you can open the project's Big Picture right from any project row.

Each project row shows tasks by tracker type (e.g. Feature, Bug, Task).

Within projects, trackers can also be rearranged.
