FloumyDelivery Models
Each project uses one of two delivery modes:
| Mode | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Cycles enabled | Use time-boxed planning with explicit cycle start dates and durations |
| Cycles disabled | Use continuous Active Work without a cycle board |
You choose the model in Project Settings.
Cycles
When cycles are enabled, the project gets a Cycles page and an Active Cycle page.
Cycle fields
Each cycle includes:
- Goal
- Start date
- Duration of 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks
Cycle statuses
| Status |
|---|
| Planned |
| Active |
| Completed |
Planned cycles can be started from the cycle detail screen.
Cycles page
The Cycles page shows:
- Cycles filtered by timeline
- Work items inside each cycle
- An execution backlog of open work items that are not yet in a cycle
The page is designed for moving work items between backlog and cycles while keeping priority order visible.
Active Cycle or Active Work
Active Cycle
If cycles are enabled, the active execution view shows:
- The currently active cycle
- Development statistics for that cycle
- Work items grouped by status
If there is no active cycle yet, Floumy prompts you to plan one first.
Active Work
If cycles are disabled, the same screen becomes Active Work and shows:
- All open work items
- Recent completed items
- Work items grouped by status
This mode is useful for teams that do not want sprint-style planning.
Work Items
Work items are the units of execution in Floumy.
Work item fields
Work items can include:
- Title
- Rich-text description
- Priority
- Type
- Linked initiative
- Linked cycle when cycles are enabled
- Estimation
- Status
- File attachments
- Assignee
- Linked issue
- Comments

Work item list
The All Work Items page supports search and infinite scrolling. Search works against:
- Title
- Description
- Reference
Recommended work-item flow
- Create an initiative on the roadmap.
- Break that initiative into work items.
- Link work items to issues when they exist to fix a reported bug.
- Move work items into a cycle or leave them in active work.
- Advance statuses as work moves through delivery.
AI support
When creating or editing a work item, Floumy can generate a draft description from the project context and title.
