Creative project planning
Give the brief, research, and each deliverable one place.
Give the brief, research, and every deliverable a place in one visual project workspace.
Plan the work and the thinking together.
Task tools are good at to-dos, but they don’t hold the creative thinking: the brief, the references, the directions that were considered. In Grein, those sit beside the deliverables they lead to.
Start with the brief on the main board, covering goal, audience, message, and constraints, then give each workstream its own nested board. Anyone can move from the overview into the details and back in one click.
Keep decisions where the work is.
Decisions made in chat get buried. Comments on the board record what was decided, on the work it was about, while project chat holds the wider discussion.
Version history shows what changed between versions of the project, and lets you restore one if a plan changes back.
Plan with the whole team.
Invite the team as editors to build the plan together in real time, and clients or stakeholders as viewers who can comment without changing anything.
Start from the Campaign planner template, which covers brief, concepts, production, and launch. When a project goes well, export it from the board menu and import it as the starting point for the next one.
Questions, answered.
Not in the task-tracker sense. There are no assignees, due-date reminders, or Gantt charts. Grein is where the creative plan lives, and many teams use it alongside a task tool.
Create nested boards for research, concepts, scenes, or deliverables, and keep the main board as the project overview.
Yes. Write notes directly on the canvas, or add a document or PDF beside your supporting references.
