Planning, editorial calendar & briefs
How this is scored
Turning a content strategy into scheduled work: topics and campaigns, an editorial calendar across channels, briefs that carry the goal, audience and keywords to the writer, and a view of what is due, late or missing.
0 — No planning at all; the product only stores or renders content.
3 — A calendar or list view of content with publish dates and statuses.
5 — An editorial calendar across channels with owners, due dates and custom statuses, and content grouped by campaign, topic or channel.
8 — Strategy connected to the plan: briefs carrying goal, audience and keywords attached to each piece, topics or personas defined once and assigned to pieces, configurable workflows per content type, workload and deadline views per person, and recurring formats scheduled as series.
10 — The plan is accountable: every published piece traces back to its brief, topic and campaign, gaps in coverage per topic or funnel stage are reported, and plan-versus-published is visible over time without a spreadsheet.
The Head of Content
A publisher role can schedule releases and there is a page list with locales, but nothing we read shows an editorial calendar, a brief carrying goal and audience to the writer, or a view of what is due or late — and the published feature list names none of these. For my team of six plus freelancers, the plan would still live in a spreadsheet. 1 3 5
