This is the answer how Loomideck can help you and your team :)TRANSCRIPT
Loomideck INACTION
www.loomideck.com
Enterprise social network for
collaboration and projects
management.
I am Mantas, CEO of Eruditus team which created Loomideck enterprise social network. I am
not going to cook stories about our happy clients who use Loomideck, instead I will tell you how
we use it on a daily basis. I am not conventional type of CEO, I do not like formality, procedures,
consider that “done is better than perfect” and hate all that CEO-ish stuff.
Hey!
Hates email and Skype
Constantly marks that development is sort of an art
Fails at planning work
Is the real tech genius
AlexCTO @ Eruditus
An Artist from capital A
World saver, vegan and tree hugger
Hates email and Skype too
Adores the way Apple creates products (except iOS7)
AleksejHead of design @ Eruditus
The only things she cares about are deadlines and revenue
Manages several projects at the same time
Pretends to be blonde in tech related stuff
EvitaDirector of accounts @ Eruditus
On a daily basis I have to deal with these 3 mostly
Reasons to build collaboration tool
So we raised a question, maybe it is reasonable to create something what we would not reject?
Back in a days, we were trying to adopt several collaboration platforms and all of these attempts failed. Key
reasons were:
uglyMost of the products we
tried, were too ugly to be
open all the time
intrusiveThey sent too much email
notifications (overloaded
inbox was driving mad
especialy me and Evita)
asocialNone of those platforms
didn’t force us to consume
data shared by other
teammates
AwkwardClumsy feature set. This, I
think, doesn’t need to be
explained
Key goals of our new product
Perfectly crafted and intuitive interface
Not more than 2 clicks to complete major operations
The best tasks manager you can imagine
Interface which inspires you to consume data shared by other teammates
Highly advanced from technology point of view
Perfect setup for projects management
Replacement for Skype intra-team chats
We met all of these requirements when Loomideck was finally up and running!
So how does it help me on a daily basis?
Notes help me to share new ideas related with products development
and collect feedback
I initiate conversations for brainstorms instead of
physical meetings
Setup of pins, notes, tasks lists and conversations I find the best
way to handle projects.
When I read something what is worth sharing, I share it with the team I want via “Save to Loomideck” bookmarklet
I have separates teams on Loomideck for each project
I share files by drag & drop
I dedicate tasks for Alex and Aleksej and track their progress
This is the way Evita uses Loomideck
Initiates conversations to discuss projects development plans (this saves load of
money which we would spend on travels)
Shares funny and cute bookmarks :)
She shares projects relateddata with dedicated teams
Evita handles several projects teams on Loomideck and all to them are remote
Dedicates tasks for Aleksej and remote development team
Alex. The way CTO started to use collaboration platform!
And finally we have a platform which he keeps open all the time.
Alex productivity depends on the way he writes down any single task he must complete, so his tasks lists are the longest ones on Loomideck.
He abandoned Skype totally, but I always know that I will catch him
on conversations. If he is not online, I just check “notify on Facebook”
and he receives that message directly to his messenger (also to his
“Pebble” so I am double sure he gets it)
Each day he starts with a new superb track which he shares on Loomideck. (I always listen that tracks in sidebar as media player doesn’t interrupt my ongoing work and navigation)
Aleksej in search for pixel level perfection.
Probably the most hated tasks list he finds is the one which Evita
appointed him to.
Aleksej always shares new design files with Alex and finally he stopped yelling “Turn on your Airdrop” (Alex always has his headphones on), he simply drops that files into Loomideck and it doesn’t matter that .psd file can be up to 100mb size, upload of such files goes in a background, so you don’t need to wait (after upload starts, press save and widget of progress will appear in a sidebar)
He always bookmarks something amazing from design point of view
into Loomideck (all that “hug the tree and save the world” he left
for Facebook)
I always ask him for an eye popping presentations designs and leave him texts in notes or upload presentations drafts so he can download it.
