Core Concepts & Objects
Reading time: 3 minutes
Timebook is built around objects, the fundamental building blocks of product development. These objects connect strategy, supporting discovery processes (Research & Planning), and delivery, helping teams plan, track, and execute work efficiently while staying aligned with organisational goals.
Understanding these objects and how they relate to one another is essential for making the most of Timebook.
What Are Timebook Objects?
Timebook objects represent the key elements of your organization’s product management workflow. They allow teams to:
Visualize work across all stages of product development
Align day-to-day tasks with strategic objectives
Collaborate effectively across teams
Track progress and outcomes in a structured way
Objects are designed to be flexible and adaptable, covering most product management scenarios while supporting both high-level strategy and detailed execution.
The Layers of Timebook
Timebook objects are organised into three core layers:
Strategy
Defines organisational goals and direction
Products, Goals, Initiatives
Research & Planning
Supports product development by identifying opportunities, gathering insights, and planning solutions
Interviews, Surveys, Insights, Opportunities
Delivery
Converts strategy and validated plans into actionable work
Work Items, Tickets, Projects, Sprints
Tip: Objects in each layer are connected, enabling you to track work from high-level strategy down to individual tasks.
