While none of us could have ever imagined dealing with the coronavirus and COVID-19 and the work at home mandate. In March of 2020, most companies changed their business model to working remotely. This experience has changed the way we do business and many companies have opted to continue this remote work model.
We changed our definition of “work” about 5 years ago. We changed from “work” being a place you go.. to “work” is something you do. In this post I wanted to share with you the 5 remote working tools we love and hope you will too.
Trello: Project Management
Trello is one of the tools we have been using the longest and use it for pretty much everything we do. Trello is a project and task management tool that allows us to Collaboration and organize projects into boards.
One of the things I love about Trello is that we can have different boards for different people and different projects and collaborate on them with an individual or as a team. For example, we have several different team members in the production department in various parts of the country. All their projects, communications, due dates etc.. all flow through Trello. Have a question on the status of a particular project, it’s easy to get a quick answer by logging into that board for a status update.
For example, all customer service tickets that come in from the for the studio website are automatically logged into Trello to be assigned to a staff member. It also makes it easy (with a customer on the phone) for anyone to quickly check the status of a ticket or reorder and give the customer an update or FedEx tracking number.
We will go into more details an examples in future blog post.
