Organization is tantamount to profit, this is an undeniable fact. In order to get things done, an effective plan should be put in place to achieve results. This, however, is easier said than done, especially if a project team is large or remote. In days gone by management would take to describing strategies on white boards in office, but this method will not work in today’s digital world. Now, imagine if someone had thought of a way to expand the concept of office-bound strategizing, & compound it to make it relevant in our current environment. This is where Whimsical’s digital sticky notes application come in.
Whimsical has taken the idea of sticky notes, & altered them into a digitally applicable product. Imagine a simple concept, such as a ‘ToDo’ note, which you might tack onto the front of your fridge, turned into a powerful business, organizational tool: that would, indeed, be something, & that’s exactly what Whimsical believe they have achieved.
Obviously, they’ve taken the concept, & developed an app, which takes sticky notes to the next level. The app allows users to expand on any notes posted, via a clickable link, which describes the task in detail. The beauty, however, is that each element of a project is described on-app, by a succinct title – meaning that all projects, tasks & team allocations are accessible at a glance.
Sticky notes work by allowing users to set-up categories to store tasks such as planned, in-progress, to be reviewed, completed, shipped – each status comprises a list of cards which can be stacked in order of progress. All elements may be re-organized or edited at will – perhaps at the end of every work period, so that the app stays abreast of current task calendars.
Several common list organizational concepts, which are easily relatable, are used by Whimisical, such as :
The choice of canvas is yours, but each canvas comes with an unlimited, ‘infinity-sized’ board for project development. This is visual collaboration, re-thought.
