How to use Aruvi Project Tool

1 Start on the home screen

Choose Agile Tool or Traditional Waterfall Tool, or open a file you saved earlier.

Figure 1 — Home screen: pick a mode or open / import a saved project.

2 Agile: board, list, dashboard

Create projects and tasks. Drag cards across columns (Backlog → To Do → In Progress → Blocked → Done). Switch views with Dashboard, Board, and List in the top bar. Use + Task or press N for a quick add. Ctrl+S saves.

Figure 2 — Agile board: status columns, priorities, and Aruvi branding in the header.

• Filter by status, priority, or tag in the toolbar under the top bar.
• Click a card to edit description, due date, and tags.
• Menu (⋯) → Export PDF or Export PNG for a plan snapshot in decks or email.

3 Waterfall: tasks, people, Gantt

Build a schedule with summary tasks, subtasks, milestones, assignees, and dependencies. Use the Gantt, Tasks, and People tabs. Indent / outdent for WBS structure.

Figure 3 — Waterfall Gantt: timeline bars, hierarchy, and progress.

• Add people on the People view, then assign them on tasks.
• Set % complete and dependencies for a consulting-grade plan.
• Export PDF (print → Save as PDF), PNG, or Excel from the ⋯ menu.

4 Save, download, and return later

Your project lives in a JSON file on your computer (and a short resume link). That keeps data in your hands — not in a cloud account.

Figure 4 — Top bar ⋯ (more) menu: Export PDF, Export PNG, Download resume link + JSON.

1. Save / Save As — writes your project file (Chrome or Edge recommended for the folder picker).
2. Download resume link + JSON — downloads a .aruvi-resume.html file plus your JSON backup.
3. Double-click the .html file — it opens the browser and returns you to this site with the project loaded.
4. Or reopen the tool and use Open Project File / Import JSON.
5. If you stay on the same computer and browser, use Continue where you left off on the home screen.
