USE ALL SKILLS HIDDEN BEHIND ROLES AND TEAM ROOMS
Most organizations hire people into roles and assign them to teams. People then get only the tasks relevant for their team/role. They won’t get other tasks even if they are in fact an expert.
This is detrimental for the company (overstaffing, idle time, delays) and workers (stale skills, morale, reduced worth).
Self-service assignments
- Configure multiple work queues, specify who can pull from them
- Control work scope and priorities with JQL
- Limit Work in Progress
- Users get their next assignment in 1 click
- Next assignment is always the most important available task that they are qualified for
- Your team can use the "Get next task" Dashboard Gadget or a full-featured Assignments Dashboard
You retain full control over backlog, requirements, priorities and team workload.
Your team members no longer have to wait for assignments or other external input and can just get the next task when idle.
Not just any task, but the most important task they are qualified for.
NO IDLE TIME
REDUCE TEAM DEPENDENCY ON THE MANAGER
Reduce dependency on the manager for mundane day-to-day work orchestration, eliminating the bottleneck and freeing up manager resource for more value-adding activities like prioritization, coaching, quality control or deep-dives.
Scale and restructure teams easily due to automatic work distribution: no overhead, no negotiations, no human factor, increased quality guarantees.
Give up micromanagement but stay in control of everything important: backlog, priorities and work queues.
SCALE AND RESTRUCTURE TEAMS EASILY
BUILD THE CULTURE OF SELF-RELIANCE AND LEARNING
With objective work assignments and clearly visible skill gaps, team is motivated to learn and grow, while managers can focus on how to be an effective leader and help their team on this path.
This is especially effective when paired with a skill-focused training program.
