Planning is easy.
Agreeing is hard.

Lanes is a planning canvas where everyone ranks priorities on their own — then the tool shows you exactly where the team disagrees, before the quarter locks. No more silent nodding in the meeting and quiet dissent after it.

Needs a decision: Dana ranks it #1, Marcus puts it #4 — hear both cases, then disagree-and-commit.
How it works

Three views, one honest picture

01 — Map

Roadmap canvas

Initiatives are lanes, projects are cards — each with a build quarter and a go-live quarter. Drag to re-home, propose new ideas, pin notes the team must not forget.

02 — Rank

Everyone ranks alone

Each person drags projects into the order they would build them. No anchoring, no loudest-voice-wins — the disagreement is the point.

03 — Decide

See where you disagree

Every ranking plotted on one axis. Tight cluster: lock it. Wide, hot band: that's your meeting agenda — ten minutes, both cases, disagree-and-commit.

Built for the messy middle of planning

Everything the spreadsheet couldn't do

⚑

Propose, then approve

Anyone can pitch a project as a proposal. It sits on the canvas — dashed, visible, not yet ranked — until the team approves or declines it.

📌

Pinned notes, not lost comments

Deadlines, dependencies, decisions — pin them to a project so reminders don't drown in the discussion thread.

✓

No question left hanging

Comments resolve like code review. Open questions are counted on every card, lane, and across the whole canvas — so you know when you're actually done.
