Zodeen / One plan, fifteen languages

One shared plan for the whole team, in fifteen languages and every time zone

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.

The problem

Global teams split into a plan in English, a chat in three languages and a stand-up at 3 a.m. for someone. The plan drifts from the work.

How it works

Timeline, board or list

The same plan three ways: the timeline shows the critical path in navy, what is behind in orange and go-live in green, with the baseline and slip markers.

Dependencies and critical path

Every task knows what it waits on. Zodeen works out each task’s slack and which ones decide go-live.

Fifteen languages

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish: the whole interface, not just the updates.

Updates translated

Each update is translated into the reader’s language by Claude, with the original one click away.

Every time zone

Zodeen finds the hours when everyone’s working day overlaps, and runs stand-ups and nudges at 8:00 each person’s time, never in quiet hours.

An example: Ten people, ten cities

  • Brightway’s team works from Houston, New York, Mexico City, San Francisco, Berlin, London, Lagos, São Paulo, Bangalore and Tokyo.
  • Lisa (QA, Mexico City) reads and posts in Spanish; Yuki (support, Tokyo) in Japanese; Ana (UX, São Paulo) in Portuguese.
  • Priya in Houston reads all of it in English.
  • Each of them gets the stand-up at 8:00 their own time.

The value

  • One plan everyone actually uses.
  • No language barrier inside the team.
  • Meetings and nudges that respect every time zone.

In the product

  • The timeline: critical path, baseline, slip markers and go-live.
  • The board: the same plan by status.
  • The list: every task, owner, date and progress.
  • Lisa reads the feed in Spanish, in Mexico City.
  • Yuki reads the same plan in Japanese, in Tokyo.
  • Working hours: when everyone’s day overlaps.
