For agency producers

Run the job from bid to air date.

Build the production schedule backward from the air date: bidding, award, pre-pro, PPM, shoot, edit, and finishing, each stage color-coded on a monthly calendar. When a date moves, or you're weighing scheduling scenarios, push & pull rebuilds the schedule in a couple of clicks.

For agency project managers

Project management clients can actually read.

Track client reviews, approvals, versioning, and deliverables on the same calendar the producers run, then share it as a branded, view-only link. No status decks, no exporting Gantt charts nobody reads, no chasing the latest version.

Custom share links

Send the brand a branded link.

One always-current link, white-labeled with your agency's logo and the client's. View-only and no login, so the brand always sees the latest plan without a single status email.

Master calendar

Every client, on one master calendar.

Agencies rarely run one job at a time. The master calendar overlays every active production, color-coded by project, on a single month, so producers and project managers can see the whole slate at a glance and commit dates with confidence.

Push & pull

Reschedule with 2 clicks.

When a client review runs long, push every downstream milestone in just two clicks, keeping day counts and relations accurate, with no more manually recalculating the production schedule every time it changes.

PDF & PNG export

Presentation-ready exports.

Export the full run of months as email-ready PDFs, or per-month PNGs for slide decks.

Filters

Custom views for every audience.

See only what you need: show or hide different stages on the calendar, and hide internal milestones from client exports or shares.

Built by a producer who was tired of tools that weren't designed for production.

Built for the way agency producers actually run a job, across brand, agency, and production partners.

FAQ

Most project management software is built for sprints and tickets, and spreadsheets weren't built for schedules at all. Workback is production calendar software purpose-built for agency work: monthly calendar views color-coded by stage, client-ready branded shares and exports, and two-click rescheduling for when a client review runs long. Agency producers and project managers use it to run every job from creative brief to air date.

Yes. Producers run the production schedule (bids, pre-pro, shoot, post) while project managers track client reviews, approvals, and deliverables on the same calendar. Team workspaces keep every producer, project manager, and coordinator in sync in real time.

Yes, you can create templates with your frequently used fields, stages, parties, and branding, making it easy to quickly spin up a schedule for a recurring client or partner.

Three ways: send a read-only share link (no account needed), export a clean PDF, or add someone as a collaborator on your project so they can edit alongside you. Share links can be white-labeled with your agency's logo (and the client's) so it looks like it came from you.

It removes the manual work. Add, move, or shift events, or whole phases, in a couple of clicks, with no reformatting and no un-merging and re-merging of cells. And unlike generic project management tools, there are no boards, tickets, or Gantt charts to maintain, just a real production calendar with color-coded bars, easy filtering, custom branding, and one-click client-ready exports.
