Typically used in music studios, it is a matrix that breaks down songs vs. instruments to quickly visualize the state of the project (e.g. album).
## Similar but not...
### Gantt chart
Gantt charts visualize projects **over time**. Studio project boards do not visualize time in any way.
### Kanban board
Items within Kanban boards move between columns to indicate succes. Studio project board columns and rows are fixed. The cells are then shade in to indicate progress.
