Your tools

What you’ll use every week.

01

Nothing is on nobody.

Every task has a name on it and a day it is due. Work that belongs to the firm with nobody holding it turns red, so a dropped ball shows up as a dropped ball instead of as a phone call three weeks later.

  • •Assigned, dated and tied to the phase that pays for it, so you can clock straight in from the task.
  • •Your week laid out by day. Drag something to a different day when the field changes the plan.
  • •Your lead sees the same calendar across the whole team — who is loaded, who has room, and who is about to be asked for two things at once.

02

Hand it off. Don’t let it sit.

Finish your part and Stratum asks who has the ball next. The handoff is dated, the next person sees it on their list, and the deliverable never sits with nobody.

  • Every deliverable moves through clear steps, from production to plot
  • One click hands the work to the next person, or sends it to the client
  • A celebration when you finish, because good work deserves one
  • Work with nobody holding it turns red for your PM

Your weekly big rocks.

Three priorities, the week’s goal, your victories and your challenges. Unfinished rocks get carried with a note or dropped with a reason, so nothing just fades.

  • Set the goal of the week
  • Done, carried or dropped, with a note
  • Your lead sees it and can comment
  • Rolls up to the team’s big rock reports

Hours that never land

Every pain on this page has a price.

An hour logged to “the project” instead of the part of the job that pays for it is an hour nobody can bill and nobody can defend. Put your firm's numbers in and see what a year of them is worth.
