Creative project management

Link the brief to its deliverables

The brief comes in as part of the project and stays linked to everything that comes out of it: deliverables, versions and feedback hang from the same thread. When someone asks why it was done this way, the answer is one click away rather than in an email from March.

Organize the project around its files

In Asana or Monday, tasks are the stars and files hang off to the side. On a creative team that breaks fast: versions get lost, nobody knows which was approved, comments live in the PM tool while the files live somewhere else. Here the asset is the central node, and dates, owners, brands and dependencies anchor to it.

Change angle depending on the question you are answering

You do not have to commit to one view. The same project appears as a calendar, a Gantt chart or a Kanban board, with nothing to re-import or reconfigure.

  • Calendar

    Monthly or weekly, by brand or client. For seeing what goes out, when and where — and showing a client without exporting anything.

  • Gantt

    Dependencies, deadlines and team load on one timeline. For seeing what blocks what, and where you are over-promising before it blows up.

  • Kanban

    The real state of every piece, column by column. For seeing what is in production, what is awaiting approval and what is ready to publish.

Clients see only theirs, the team sees everything

Share a calendar or a collection with a client under their own permissions, without exposing other accounts and without your team filtering by hand (how sharing works).

The team’s real capacity in one view

You know who can take what before you promise it, because the load comes from pieces in production and open approval flows — not a parallel spreadsheet someone updates when they remember (see planning).
