One schedule across stage, episode, date, and crew views
Give every department the view they need without splitting the production schedule.
Built for productions where stage, episode, date, post, and stakeholder views all matter at once.
Cleaner review with PMs, HODs, post, and external stakeholders
Less reformatting of the plan for every department conversation

One plan for every production role
Keep very different production conversations anchored to the same current schedule.
Production office
Needs the current working schedule with edit depth and replan speed.
Department heads
Need the same plan filtered into the lens that matters to their department.
Post and stakeholders
Need visibility and handoff without becoming the new source of truth.
Show the production from every angle
The same production can stay current while each department gets the view it needs.
Stage and episode planning from the same schedule
Show how the plan can answer the questions different departments ask without becoming a chain of duplicated files.

Formal handoff without losing the live plan
Exports and presentation views stay available while the working schedule remains central.
How media teams tend to run this
Keep it grounded in prep-to-delivery rhythm.
Build the master production schedule
Keep the real project live from the start.
Switch the view for the department conversation
Show the right lens for production office, departments, post, or stakeholders.
Use sharing or exports where the workflow needs them
Support formal handoff without turning the exported file into the new working system.
Why this is better than department copies
The core pain is duplicated planning surfaces.
Moment
Department-copy workflow
Planner workflow
A change hits the schedule
Each department file has to be updated or at least rechecked.
The change lives in one schedule that each department can view differently.
A stakeholder wants a cleaner readout
Someone reformats the plan into another presentation layer.
The same schedule can be shared in a cleaner lens or exported when needed.
Post needs the latest timing context
Timing and notes travel late or inconsistently through the chain.
The handoff is anchored to the same current production plan.
Questions to keep specific to media teams
Straight answers on setup, fit, and workflow.
Can we plan by episode and stage in the same project?+
Yes. That is one of the main reasons teams use this setup.
How do external stakeholders review safely?+
Through permissioned sharing or exports when static handoff is the better fit.
Is this only for very large productions?+
No. It matters anywhere the same production needs to serve more than one department view.
Keep every department on the same production schedule.
Use Planner when the cost of rebuilding the same media plan for different audiences starts to slow the production down.
