Before you start
Brena works best with a short description of the project. If your schedule is empty, Brena will ask what you're building. You can also add a description in File > Settings > General first.
Generate the schedule
Open your project and click the orange Brena icon in the header.
Type Generate a high level and detailed overall schedule and press Enter.
If Brena asks what kind of project it is, click one of the options (for example, Single-family home – new construction) or type your own, such as "3-story 40,000 sq ft office building, steel frame, slab on grade."
Brena drafts the schedule: phases with start and finish dates, plus detailed tasks under each phase. It tells you the size of the draft, for example "11 phases with 304 tasks."
Review the draft
The schedule is saved as a draft and isn't added to your project yet. Brena lists anything it thinks you should fix, such as tasks under the wrong phase, work in the wrong order, or tasks that repeat. Click the sparkle icon at the top of the chat to open Brena Suggests and look through the plan.
Ask Brena to fix the problems it found, or to adjust durations with real details like square footage or foundation type.
Add it to your schedule
When the draft looks right, type commit these tasks. You can also ask Brena to put the phases on a High Level Plan Board and the detailed tasks on a Work Board. See Reviewing and Committing Brena's Drafts for more.
