Your briefs, organized the way you actually ship

Initiatives group briefs under the product launches, redesigns, and goals driving them.

Initiatives

A flat list of briefs works when you're small. You can now create initiatives to group related briefs together and track them as one effort.

Each initiative has its own document. Write the goals, set the timeline, and see every linked brief in one place.

The Q3 Product Launch initiative open with Goals, Timeline, and Success Criteria sections, and three associated briefs listed below

Link any brief to an initiative. Search, select, done.

  • Fixed duplicate document versions being created when content hadn't changed
