Work Timeline · All plans
What happened, in order, with the receipts.
A two-column timeline for any person, team, project or objective: updates and status changes on the left, wins and failures on the right. Expand any segment to the messages, meetings and tickets behind it.

Wins & failures
The problem
The history of a project lives in six tools and three people's heads.
Why did the launch slip? When was the scope cut? Who agreed to the dependency? The answers are in a Slack thread from April, a Jira comment, a meeting nobody recorded, and a Notion page that was edited over. Reconstructing it takes an afternoon — if the people are still here.
How Bren does it
Chronology on the left. Consequences on the right.
One timeline per entity
Open a timeline for a project, a task, a team, an objective or a person (subject to permissions). Updates, status changes, task comments, PRs and meeting snapshots are placed in time.
Wins and failures alongside
Manager-marked outcomes and Bren-detected turning points sit on the right column so the shape of a project is visible at a glance.
"Elaborate this"
Any segment expands to the underlying evidence — the exact messages, tickets, docs and meeting excerpts — or to a longer narrative written by Bren with citations.
Permissions travel with the data
A timeline only shows what you could see in the source tools plus what Bren's Participatory / Public / Selective settings allow.
