The pain

Comms planning is a coordination problem dressed up as a spreadsheet problem.

Spreadsheets sprawl

Every team keeps their own grid. Versions diverge by Tuesday afternoon.

Updates get missed

Stakeholders chase by email. Important moments slip through the cracks.

Meetings re-do the work

Half the weekly meeting goes on reading out what should already be visible.

Planning

Edit your plan like a spreadsheet, share it like a doc.

Inline editing for power users, a clean form for everyone else. Filter by team, status, owner, or week. Everything stays in sync.

  • Inline cell editing
  • Per-team filters
  • Audit trail on every change
