Weekly Feature Article Editorial Workflow
An online media company with 40 employees / 40 employees
“We run weekly feature articles through a planning, interviewing, writing, editing, and publishing workflow with multiple articles in parallel. Ganty's multi-period task feature lets us put weekly editorial meetings on a single row instead of spamming the chart with new rows. The editorial team's whole motion is visible at a glance.”

Challenge
This media company publishes weekly feature articles via a planning, reporting, writing, copy editing, and publishing pipeline coordinated across editors, reporters, photographers, and proofreaders. Spreadsheet management hid who was writing what and whether the next deadline was at risk, leading to chronic last-minute scrambles. Treating the recurring editorial meeting as a separate row each week made the chart unmanageable.
Why Ganty
The deciding factor was the multi-period task feature, which lets a recurring "weekly editorial meeting" live as a single row spanning 12 weeks. Shared links for external writers and photographers, plus an intuitive UI usable by non-technical editorial staff, completed the picture.
How They Use It
- Each article runs through planning, reporting, writing, copy editing, and publishing as tasks
- "Weekly editorial meetings" live on a single row with 12 weekly periods
- External writers receive individual schedules via shared links
- Copy editing and final approval are tracked as milestones to lock publication dates
Results
Publication delays dropped by 70%, editorial meetings shortened by 30%, and monthly article output increased 1.4×. Visibility across the entire editorial team enabled both higher quality and higher volume.
