For product teams
Product management for the team that now includes agents.
Your backlog used to be read by engineers who knew what you meant. Now half of it is read by agents that only know what you wrote. NEWWORK Projects helps product managers write work that survives being handed over, and shows whether what shipped is what you meant.
What hurts today
Stories that read well and build badly
“As a user I want to export my data” worked when the engineer knew which data, which format and who may do it. An agent picks one answer and ships it with confidence.
Done means “someone moved the card”
Whether the acceptance criteria were actually met lives in a reviewer’s memory, if it lives anywhere.
Status reports nobody believes
Health colours are set by hand, once a week, by the most optimistic person in the room.

The assignee hears about it once; the lead when it is serious.
- 01Briefs with open questions instead of guessesWrite with Nova turns your notes into a brief and asks what it cannot know. Readiness shows what is still missing before anyone starts.
- 02Brainstorm against the actual codePlan the next feature in a conversation that reads your repositories, your tickets and the web, then create the stories with their checks in one step.
- 03Checks proven with evidenceEvery acceptance check is ticked with the pull request or the test that proves it. Done tickets say Verified, or exactly what is missing.
- 04Goals whose health is computedProgress against time gone, blocked work and overdue tickets decide the colour. A person can still overrule it, visibly.
Pro adds goals, the timeline, Pulse, Brainstorm and GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket connections.

We already write good user stories. Why change?
Keep them. A user story is a fine Intent. A brief adds what a builder needs around it: context, behaviour, constraints and checks that can be proven, so the story survives being read by someone who cannot ask.
Can we keep our roadmap elsewhere?
Yes. Many teams keep the roadmap where it is and use NEWWORK Projects where the work is written, handed over and proven.
