Zodeen: project management

One shared plan. Everyone updates it. Isabella runs the rest. Zodeen is the project manager that sees everything: every project, everyone’s time off, to-dos, goals and on-call, the code and tests doing the work, and updates in fifteen languages, all in one database.

Zodeen in two minutes (2:09)

Brightway is launching a new app. One update, one overloaded engineer, two approvals, and a report that writes itself, recorded in the live product.

Why it matters

  • 72% of project people spend half a day or more every month collating project reports by hand (Wellingtone, The State of Project Management 2026)
  • 1 in 2 organisations do not have access to real-time KPIs (Wellingtone, The State of Project Management 2026)
  • 81% of project professionals say projects have become more complex in recent years (PMI, Pulse of the Profession 2026)
  • 45% over budget, on average, for large IT projects, delivering 56% less value than predicted (McKinsey with the University of Oxford (2012 study))

An example: Brightway app launch

  • Monday: Off track. The new app’s go-live is forecast for December 11, a week late, because the cloud backend is 10 working days behind. Bob is booked at 208%.
  • Isabella: She noticed. She tells Priya and Elena, Bob’s two project leads, and puts it on their My list.
  • Bob: One update. Bob moves the backend from 35% to 60%. It is now inside its slack: go-live is back to December 4 and Bob drops to 158%.
  • Elena: Approves. His payroll integrations move a week later; the payroll plan has the slack. Bob: 127%.
  • Priya: Approves. Marcus helps on the backend for three days. Bob: 98%, and the launch is green.
  • Friday: Reports. The stand-up, the weekly report and the steering pack already say all of this, with the evidence.

What Zodeen does

  • One database, real capacity: Zodeen counts each person’s whole week: every project they are on, their time off, to-dos, goals, programs and on-call, at the pace they really work.
  • One update moves the whole plan: When someone updates a task, Zodeen recalculates everything that depends on it, and explains what changed in plain words.
  • Isabella, the AI project manager: Isabella watches every project and the rest of One Caye, learns how your team really works, and proposes fixes with the evidence. She only acts alone where you allow.
  • Reports that write themselves: Every morning the stand-up is ready. Every Friday the weekly status report builds itself from the plan, the updates and the live systems.
  • Steering committee pack: Every two weeks Zodeen builds the pack from the live plan, compares it with the last meeting, and tracks every action the committee asked for.
  • Live work: the work reports in: Zodeen connects the plan to the systems doing the work, so progress shows what is really happening, not just what people remember to type.
  • One plan, fifteen languages: A timeline for the lead, a board for the team, a list for everyone. Each person reads and updates it in their own language, on their own clock.
  • Start a plan in minutes: Every plan arrives with phases, tasks, owners, dates and the usual risks, fitted to your dates and your team, and checked against everyone’s capacity.
  • Dashboards and honest forecasts: The overview is an exhibit index: each chart’s headline says what it shows, and opens full size. Forecasts come from 1,000 simulated finishes, not a guess.
