Positions — plan first, people second

In Zenoba, the plan doesn't wait for the team: positions carry the work until real people take them. Six ideas are enough.

1

Your plan is already carried — by positions

When your workspace is born, every business role becomes a position: a chair, not a person — the “Profile” badge says so everywhere. Every task in the plan knows which chair will carry it: you plan, estimate and set milestones before knowing who does what.

A position's row in the directory: the badge tells it apart from a person, the Fill button invites someone to take it.

Start by taking your own chair

At the end of onboarding, Zenoba offers “Take the position” matching your role. One click — and “My work” shows your tasks. That's your morning screen.

Seat the others, one chair at a time

Wherever you meet a position, a “Fill” button follows you: pick someone from the directory, or invite by email. Before you confirm, Zenoba announces what will change hands — nothing happens blindly. The person arrives with the position's work, not empty-handed.

Nothing gets lost while you wait

A sleeping invitation wears an amber “Pending” badge, resends in one click, and Zenoba reminds it by itself after seven days. A deadline approaching on an empty position? You're warned a week ahead — and the notification drops you right on the button. An invited person uses no seat before their first login.

Change your mind freely — history doesn't change

Reassign as much as the project demands. What each person actually did — logged hours, completed actions — stays under their name, forever; and every task keeps its timeline: who carried it, when, changed by whom. Over eighteen months, that's your audit memory — and nobody can rewrite it, not even Zenoba.

A task's history: who carried it, when, changed by whom — and what each person actually did on it.

When someone leaves, their work doesn't leave with them

The “Departure” gesture transfers only what remains to be done — to a position of their domain, instantly visible in “Unfilled positions”, ready to be filled again. Everything the person accomplished stays under their name.

The workspace home “Unfilled positions” section: each position, its first deadline, and the Fill button.

The gesture, the moment you think of it

Filling is never far away: assigning a position in the table offers it right away, and the workload panel shows the work nobody will do.

The rule that sums it all up: a task always has a carrier — a chair or a person — and the past is never rewritten.
