Is Projan just another Slack bot that pings us?

No. Projan is a facilitator that runs a planning conversation in-thread — asking questions, drawing out decisions and summarising agreement. It posts when it has something useful to add, not to nag.

Where does the plan go once we've agreed it in Slack?

To your stack. Projan exports the agreed work to Jira, Linear, Notion or ClickUp, so the decision made in the channel becomes tracked work without anyone copying it across by hand.

Does Projan create tickets inside Slack?

Slack has no tickets to create. What Projan produces in Slack is the facilitated conversation and a Slack Canvas capturing the agreed decision; the work items are created in your connected project tool.

Can it keep a record of what we decided?

Yes. Projan writes the agreement into a Slack Canvas so the decision lives in the channel as a durable summary rather than scrolling out of sight.

Do we have to start a session in a special way?

Mention Projan in a channel or thread, or use its slash commands and interactive buttons. It also accepts uploaded files as context and can spin up a dedicated channel for a piece of work.

Is the Slack integration on every plan?

The Slack bot is a Team-plan feature — it's built for multiplayer planning, so it lives on the plans designed for teams rather than solo use.

Does Projan replace Slack?

No. Projan works inside Slack. Slack stays your team's conversation; Projan just makes the planning part of it end in something.

Can a team actually plan a feature in Slack without it turning into 200 unread messages?

Most feature planning already happens in Slack — and most of it dies there, buried under reactions, tangents and 'let's circle back'. Projan joins the channel as a facilitator. It asks the questions that move a debate toward a decision, keeps track of what the team actually agrees, captures the outcome in a Slack Canvas, and pushes the resulting work to Jira, Linear, Notion or ClickUp. Nobody leaves Slack and nobody has to write it up afterwards. The conversation stays exactly where your team already is — only the structure, and the decisions surviving it, are new.

Watch a real product channel for an hour. A good idea gets floated, three people react with 🔥, someone raises a genuine risk, it gets a thoughtful reply — and then a standup link drops, the thread fragments, and by Thursday nobody can say what was actually decided. The thinking was all there. Slack just isn’t built to hold it.

Why Slack is where planning goes to die

Slack is the best place a team has to talk, which is exactly why so much planning starts there. But a channel is a river, not a record. Decisions don’t get made so much as drifted past. The conversation that should have produced a spec produces a vibe, and the real work — pinning down scope, surfacing the awkward dependency, writing acceptance criteria — gets deferred to “when someone has time to write it up.” Usually that’s never, or it’s one exhausted PM at 9pm.

What it feels like with Projan in the channel

Say the team is debating whether to ship a redesign as one big release or phase it. Normally that thread runs for two days and resolves into a shrug.

With Projan in the channel, the debate has a facilitator. It asks who the phased approach protects and what the all-at-once version risks. It notices that “we’ll just feature-flag it” quietly assumes work nobody has scoped, and asks about it. When the team lands on phasing, Projan doesn’t just agree — it writes the decision, the reasoning and the agreed first slice into a Slack Canvas pinned to the channel. The argument that usually evaporates is now a record anyone can open.

In the channel	What Projan does with it
A sprawling debate across a busy thread	Facilitates it — asks the clarifying questions in-thread
The moment the team lands on a decision	Captures it in a Slack Canvas, reasoning included
”We’ll flag it and phase it”	Flags the hidden scope and gets it pinned down before it bites
The agreed first slice of work	Exported to your tracker as real, scoped items

What Projan can actually do inside Slack

It responds to mentions and runs threads, takes slash commands, offers interactive buttons and modals for the fiddly bits, accepts uploaded files as context, writes and updates Slack Canvases, and can create a dedicated channel for a new piece of work. It’s a participant in the conversation, not a dashboard bolted onto the side of it.

Then it leaves the building

The whole point is that the conversation stays in Slack and the output doesn’t. Once the team agrees, Projan exports the work to Jira, Linear, Notion or ClickUp. The decision made in the channel becomes tracked work in the tool your delivery team actually uses — no re-typing, no “can someone raise the tickets.”

Setting it up

Add Projan to your workspace from the Slack App Directory (it’s a Team-plan feature, installed once for the workspace), point it at your project tool, and start planning in any channel by mentioning it. The first session is usually the redesign-thread moment in reverse: a conversation that, for once, ends in something.

It’s not trying to be your project tool

Projan doesn’t want to replace Slack or your tracker. Slack stays the room your team thinks out loud in; your tracker stays where work gets done. Projan just makes sure the bit in between — the deciding — actually finishes.
