These are good points - may not work for more creative/specialized teams where the tasks are all relatively unique and not well quantified.
Might work for teams that have layers of people in the same role (e.g. Supervisors) all doing more or less the same tasks (e.g. interviewing new hires). Things like manufacturing, IT ops, sales ops, service industries...
This is a really cool idea. I've been working on something kind of similar (auto follow-ups), except it focuses on recurring tasks rather than trying to ascertain individuals capacity or to load balance people.
Basically if a task is X minutes before due and it is not completed, it will text you "Did you do this thing?", and you can just reply Yes/No to the text and it will mark it as complete or not.
No doubt it is unfinished! We don't yet offer our paid plan for Teams. I posted the free individual plan here for initial feedback and validation for the idea in general. Appreciate the support for the concept - it let's me know I'm on the right track to keep pushing new features.
Thank you! I definitely have a sense that a lot of project management tools are built for the teams that build them...small teams of cross-functional creatives.
You can usually hack your way into something like Routine Ops with recurring tasks in JIRA or whatever, but it's not the use-case their product teams are solving for. That's my hypothesis at least :)
- Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate the thoughtful notes, particularly on the marketing site which is admittedly very barebones right now.
- Also super helpful note on the pricing - honestly hadn't put too much thought into it yet as I'm still validating that it solves a real problem. Agree that I will need to experiment a bit with pricing once the team option is available.
- As for audit compliance - I definitely had that use-case in mind eventually, but I would love to hear more about your specific use-case and requirements
