Run production and review in one place: projects, tasks, deliverables and chat next to the files, the feedback on them and their approval status.
Creative operations software is the system a creative team uses to run production: who is working on what, which deliverables are due, where files and feedback live, and what is approved. Kreatli puts projects, tasks on boards, deliverables, approval statuses, chat and file review in one workspace, so production and review are not split across separate tools.
Creative operations (creative ops) is the work of running creative production: planning, people, files, review and delivery. Software for it has to hold both the plan and the work. Kreatli connects tasks, deliverables and chat to the files and their review threads in the same project.
This page is for teams evaluating creative operations software. Creative project management covers boards and tasks on their own, and the creative operations comparison article explains the discipline itself.

What changes when the plan and the work live in the same project.
| Job | Split across tools | In Kreatli |
|---|---|---|
| Who is working on what | A separate task tool, with links pasted into each card | Tasks on the project board, with an owner, contributors and the files attached |
| What has to ship and when | A spreadsheet of deliverables that drifts from the files | Deliverables with owners and due dates in the same project as the files |
| Feedback on the work | Email threads, screenshots and a separate review tool | Timecoded, page and image comments in threads on the file |
| What is approved | "Approved" somewhere in a reply | A custom approval status on the file, visible to guests |
| Day-to-day conversation | A chat app where files and context get lost | Project chat next to the tasks and files |
Plan the work and track what ships, in the same project as the files.
Create tasks with an owner and contributors, link them to files and move them through board columns.
List what the project has to ship, with owners and due dates, next to the files themselves.
Talk about the work in the project instead of in email threads that lose the file.
Define statuses for each project, such as "In production", "Client review" and "Approved". Every file shows one.
Collect feedback from the team and clients on the files themselves.
Proof cuts, stills, layouts and audio in one project instead of a different tool per format.
Pin a note to a timecode or a range of the timeline so the editor jumps straight to the moment.
Leave comments on a specific page of a PDF, deck, brochure or storyboard.
Circle, arrow or sketch on a frame or image to show exactly what needs to change.
Reply in a thread under each note and resolve it once the change is made.
