Plans that build themselves
from your meetings
Your meetings already contain the plan. Somebody said the beta lands on the 27th, somebody said payments is about 70 percent done, somebody said the SDK swap is blocked. Shoulder Surf turns that into a real project plan: a native Excel Gantt chart built entirely from what was actually said, ready to send to anyone.
Just ask in Project Chat, in your own words.
No forms, no setup. You describe what you want, and Shoulder Surf reads the plan out of the conversation.
Two ways to build. You choose.
Your answer sticks for that project, so next time you just ask and it builds. Change styles anytime by saying so.
Simple
~45 secondsSay simple and you get the clean one, ready to print to a single page.
- Collapsible phases
- Status colors
- Progress right on the bars
- Critical dates flagged
- Prints to a single page
Detailed
~60 secondsEverything in Simple, plus the workbook grows a Slip sheet and a Receipts sheet, where every date, percent, and owner is backed by the verbatim meeting line and the person who said it.
- A Slip sheet tracking how dates moved
- A Receipts sheet quoting the source line
- Every value traceable to who said it
The numbers are the honest kind.
If Maya said payments is about 70 percent, the bar shows 70 percent done and the receipts sheet quotes her. If nobody put a number on a task, the cell stays blank until someone does. The chart reports your meetings.
It gets better with age.
Every plan you generate is versioned. A week later, after two more standups, just say:
The new workbook picks up everything said since: new tasks, new dates, new percents, and it comes back in the style you already chose. Because we kept the earlier versions, the detailed workbook's Slip sheet shows movement, not just state: payments slipped from Jul 10 to Jul 24 across two standups, dated move by move, while the rest of the plan held. Your plan stops being a snapshot and becomes a record of how the project actually went.
Let your meetings write the plan.
Project plans that build themselves, in the style you choose, backed by the exact words from the room.
