An audiovisual production doesn't derail from lack of talent.
It derails from lack of coordination.

As head (or manager) of production, you hold the line: coordinate phases, arbitrate priorities, keep delivery date in sight. Orchesia gives you backward planning, priorities, and workload per cycle — without chasing information.

Three situations every head of production knows

Each department moves in its own lane

Each department moves in its own lane

Direction, shooting, post-production, vendors: everyone follows their own thread, no one has the big picture. Trade-offs come too late.

Scope overflows, the date doesn't move

Scope overflows, the date doesn't move

Versions, formats, retakes: requests pile up without arbitration. Delivery approaches and too much remains to do.

Overload discovered too late

Overload discovered too late

Team and vendor workload is never compared to real capacity. Delays only show when post-production is already underwater.

Your role, tooled up

What Orchesia changes for a head of production

The whole production on the same course

The whole production on the same course

Backward planning from delivery date becomes the shared reference. Each department sees phases, milestones, and what must be ready — without a meeting to rediscover it.

Priorities you truly arbitrate

Priorities you truly arbitrate

Prioritize tasks and deliverables with a Must / Should / Could / Won't Kanban. You decide what ships and what waits — explicitly, not by default.

Workload under control, period by period

Workload under control, period by period

Visualize workload per cycle against team and vendor capacity. You spot tense weeks before they force a rush.

Visual tracking: Kanban and charts

Visual tracking: Kanban and charts

Manage tasks and deliverables on Kanban boards per phase (Must, Should, Could, Won't) and build the charts you need. Each phase's status is readable at a glance — for you and the team.

Your daily life as head of production, from scoping to tracking

Three stages to hit delivery.

Set backward planning from delivery

Place your phases (development, pre-production, shooting, post-production) working back from delivery date. The whole production shares the same course.

Arbitrate tasks and deliverables by priority

In each phase, create items (tasks, deliverables) and decide with MoSCoW Kanban. Your arbitration becomes visible to the whole team.

Manage workload and multiple productions

With cycles, allocate people and hours, track workload against team and vendor capacity, and build the charts you need to follow progress.

Offres payantes · mode structuré

Feature film or series with heavy dependencies? Switch to structured mode.

On a long production with heavy dependencies, Orchesia calculates the critical path between phases for you (editing doesn't start before shooting ends) and generates the schedule from project structure (WBS, dependencies/PERT, Gantt chart) — with AI-accelerated formatting.

Avant

Without a shared course

Production moves in scattered order.

  • Departments each moving on their own
  • Scope never decided (versions, retakes piling up)
  • Contradictory priorities between tasks and deliverables
  • Team / vendor workload never compared to capacity
  • Post-production rush as the only way out
Apres

With Orchesia

Production moves behind the same course.

  • Shared backward planning from delivery date
  • Scope explicitly arbitrated (Must, Should, Could, Won't)
  • Clear priorities between tasks and deliverables
  • Workload anticipated period by period
  • Delivery met by arbitrating scope, not sacrificing the team

Questions frequentes

No. You can coordinate backward planning for one production for free (a simplified project), without a credit card. Advanced features (multiple projects, structured mode, AI) are on paid plans.

No. Orchesia works upstream to scope, plan, and coordinate: backward planning, phases, milestones, priorities. It is not a production office or call sheet tool.

Not quite: the producer owns financing and overall responsibility; the head (or manager) of production coordinates day-to-day fabrication. Orchesia primarily tools this coordination role.

Yes. On a paid plan, you manage multiple projects in the same workspace, track workload per cycle, and build your dashboards.

No. It's primarily the production team's tool; items can be shared with vendors without them needing to log in.

A few hours. The tool builds on familiar concepts: phases, milestones, priorities, and backward planning from delivery date.

Your production needs a course. Give it to them.

Set backward planning, arbitrate scope, and hit delivery — free on one production. Upgrade to paid plans for multiple projects and structured mode.
