Butler Review – The Built-in Automation For Trello

Online project management software like Trello makes it easier for a lot of people. PM associations and body of knowledge standards define a project as usually something temporary. However, as businesses become more project-centric, teams are encountering the same familiar tasks on their boards time and time again. And doing the same tasks repeatedly can affect our efficiency. Butler is a Trello Power-Up that enables users to take advantage of built-in workflow automation. It enables them to automate processes such as managing repeating tasks through custom automations, rules, and scheduled commands. If you are looking for a great reporting and exporting tool for Trello, we suggest trying out our own tool Bridge24 for Trello.

Butler provides rule-based automation. Depending on the Trello version a customer has, users have access to a number of pre-built rules that can automate their everyday tasks. They can set specific rules on cards and boards, which will trigger automatically when certain actions are performed. These rule-based automations […]

New Dropbox Unveils More Connected, Collaborative Desktop App

Dropbox is a technology company that primarily offers cloud storage. Since its launch in 2007, it has reportedly passed 500 million users in 2016. Aside from hosting files online, it allows customers to sync files across devices, to share big files, to brainstorm with a variety of content, and use desktop client software for different operating systems. Advances in technology developed new tools for people that enable them to accomplish more work in less time. This, however, entails using more tools. Also, content is now scattered across apps. As a result, people are now spending more time on work that is not actually their primary work. This work about work is what the new Dropbox desktop app offers to address.

New Dropbox Desktop App

The new Dropbox provides additional features beyond file storage and syncing. It is a central workspace where users can organize all their files, connect their productivity tools, and collaborate with other Dropbox users. The new desktop app is being introduced through an early access program, available […]

Kanban Boards or Task Lists: Which is Better for Your Team?

Project management enables teams and companies to successfully bring an undertaking from point A to point B. Project management software is a tool that helps make this attempt done in a more organized and efficient manner. Projects are usually broken down to smaller, more manageable tasks. Tasks are then assigned to teams or individuals who will be responsible and accountable for completing them. Today’s PM tools offer several ways in presenting tasks. Among the most popular are the simple task lists and the modern Kanban boards.

Which is better?

Before we determine the best task management presentation, we have to answer a fundamental question: who is your team? Productivity methodology seems to be a very personal, or team-specific, thing. What works for one might not work for another. Another question to think about is what stage in the project lifecycle are you now?

Task Lists – One at a time

Pros: Task lists are great project planning tools. It is simple and easy to do, which is an important factor when […]

Tips on How to Stay Focused at Work

Attention control is the capacity of a person to choose what they pay attention to and what they ignore. When people spend a certain amount of concentrated time on a certain task without becoming distracted, that period is called the attention span. Experts say that the attention span of a gold fish is 9 seconds. In a study conducted by Microsoft, the results indicated that the attention span of people has gone down from 12 seconds, measured in the year 2000, to 8 seconds in 2015.

Researchers point to an increasingly digitalized lifestyle as the cause of the diminishing attention span. People who are accustomed to looking at multiple screens are more easily distracted. On the other hand, the same study showed that more people are now better at multitasking. So, even though our attention span is now less than that of a gold fish, we have become more proficient in doing more than one task or activity at the same time. In other words, we have become […]

Scaling Link Building Using Asana

I personally love using Asana. I’ve been doing link building in SEO for a decade and it’s always been challenging to manage and track the process and progress in a link building campaign. Quite often, the link building team gets lost in the amount of spreadsheets, tabs, notes and emails that it makes the entire process fall apart.

Designmantic.com, which is the company that I work for; implemented Asana into their link building campaign this year. In this post, I’d like to share how we set it up and the benefits that we’ve been able to gain as a result of using switching to Asana and setting up our process using the project management software.

The dashboard snapshot.

We can configure Asana to show a list of completed projects under a section. We want to know at a glance how many links have gone live and what is the rate of growth that we are experiencing. Managers can look at this snapshot and see if the growth is progressing or if changes in the strategy or tactics are […]
