Remembers the context
Keeps what you wrote, decided, and ruled out, so nobody has to re-explain the project.

Software project management for small business
Your Software
Project Manager.
Turn what your business needs into working software. Steepworks brings context, planning, people, and coding agents together. It keeps work moving and brings you the decisions that need your judgment.
Less coordination. More working software.
Fewer steps between a need and working software
One request.
One working result.
Most software projects stall in the middle: translating a need into briefs, moving context between tools, chasing progress, checking what actually shipped. Steepworks takes on that middle. A request reaches the people and coding agents who can build it, and comes back as something you can review.
See the whole productIllustrative example · Appointment booking
“Let customers book and manage their appointments.”
Written once. Carried through to a result you can review.
01 Write the need
“Customers call to book. We want them to do it themselves.”
The brief
- What customers should be able to do
- The scheduling rules you already follow
- Where booking records should live
- Who reviews the result
This context stays with the project for everything that follows.
Write it the way you would explain it to a colleague. Steepworks asks the questions that fill the gaps.
02 Review the plan
“Here is the first release I recommend.”
Proposed plan
- 1 Online booking for your existing services
- 2 Customers reschedule or cancel on their own
- 3 Reminders the day before
Recurring appointments are held for a later release.
Scope, order, and tradeoffs are proposed for you to adjust or approve.
03 Work gets coordinated
“Booking flow assigned. One blocker being followed.”
Coordinated work
- Coding agent
- Booking flow, prepared with the brief and your rules
- Builder
- Payment connection, waiting on account access
- Steepworks
- Following the blocker and checking results as they land
You are not the one chasing status.
People and coding agents work from the same plan, each with the context they need.
04 Review the result
“Booking is ready for review.”
Ready for review
- Preview ready to open
- Booking, reschedule, and reminder checks passed
- Budget and schedule on track
- One open question: recurring appointments
Approve the release or ask for changes.
Your feedback goes back into the plan, not into another round of briefing.
The middle, handled
The management work
Steepworks takes on.
Between a business need and working software sits a lot of routine work: re-explaining context, writing briefs, routing tasks, chasing status, checking what shipped, and carrying feedback back to the people building. Steepworks does that work, within the authority you give it.
Each of these is something you no longer have to keep chasing.
Prepares the work
Turns the plan into bounded assignments, each with the context a person or coding agent needs.
Off your plate Writing briefs
Coordinates people and agents
Assigns work by skill, authority, and cost, and keeps everyone on the same plan.
Off your plate Routing tasks
Follows blockers
Notices what is stuck, who it is waiting on, and what it means for the schedule.
Off your plate Chasing status
Checks results
Collects previews, checks, and evidence so review starts with proof instead of a status meeting.
Off your plate Asking what shipped
Carries feedback forward
Turns review notes and customer feedback into the next proposed change.
Off your plate Re-briefing after every round
Decisions, not dashboards
It brings you the decisions that need you.
Routine coordination runs inside the authority you delegate. When scope, spending, or a release needs your judgment, Steepworks brings the evidence, the options, and a recommendation. Your decision is recorded with the reasons behind it.
Decision needed
Appointment booking
Booking is ready for review. Recurring appointments would extend the schedule. Here is the preview and my recommendation for the first release.
- Preview ready
- Checks passed
- Budget on track
Illustrative example
Two connected workspaces
Builders work locally.
Everyone else stays involved through the web.
Execution happens close to the code, tests, and previews, with the coding agents your builders already use. Progress, decisions, and review live in one shared project that business participants can open from anywhere.
Builder workspace · Desktop
Execution, close to the code
- Repository connected
- Coding agent working on the booking flow
- Tests running locally
- Preview ready to share
Progress and evidence report up to the shared project.
Shared project · Web
Progress, decisions, and review
- Plan: booking milestone in progress
- Blocker: payment account access
- Review: booking ready for you
- Decision: waiting on you
Decisions and next work flow back down to the builders.
Three ways to start
Start from wherever your business is.
Bring an idea, the software you already run, or the tools you already use. Each path begins the same way: write down what you want to change.
Build something new
Start with an idea for your business. Steepworks shapes the plan and coordinates the build.
Modernize what exists
Give the software you already run new capabilities, improved one reviewed release at a time.
Connect what you have
Bring your tools and data together so work can move between them with less manual effort.
