Every project starts as a mess: a brief, a pile of references, some half-formed tasks, a rough timeline. Split those across a docs app, a task app and a whiteboard and you spend more time syncing tools than doing the work. Mena keeps the whole project on one canvas.
Put the goal in the centre. Around it, cluster the moving parts — research, tasks, assets, open questions — and connect what depends on what. Because it is spatial, the state of the project is something you can see, not something you have to reconstruct from a dozen tabs.
One board, from kickoff to done
- 1 Frame the goal
Drop the brief in the middle so every decision has a north star.
- 2 Map the pieces
Cluster tasks, references and sketches around it; draw the dependencies.
- 3 Track progress
Move items through your own stages — to do, doing, done — right on the canvas.
- 4 Ship it
When everything connects to the goal and the board goes quiet, you are done.
You cannot steer what you cannot see. Put the whole project where you can look at it.
