See every brief and task by start and due date, so launches, sprints and agency deadlines are visible at a glance.
The production calendar lives in another spreadsheet
Deadlines sit in one sheet, the briefs in a doc and the assets in Drive. When a launch moves, someone updates three places and the agency still works from the old date. With Focal, the timeline and the work are the same board.
Timeline view
A timeline view for creative sprints and launches
Timeline view lays out a Focal board’s tasks by date. Choose which dates set the bars, group rows by any field, color bars by status or another field and change the scale from days to months. Every bar is the actual task, with its brief and assets, so the plan and the production never drift apart.
