## The problem

The board is in one window, the update in a document and the promises in chat. Promises are the first thing to slip, and the stakeholder remembers them better than you do.

## How Plexii handles it

Capture the promise into Attention from the message with a right-click; it is filed by what it asks of you, with a date. Overdue radar on Home shows it the morning it slips, oldest first.

In short: “I’ll send that over by Friday.” Easy to say, easy to lose. Right-click any message and it lands in Attention with a date, filed by what it needs from you. Plexii shows you the slipping ones first.
