Avoid overusing meetings with Uclusion
TL;DR: signup for Uclusion and immediately be in a sandbox demo (a very small sample shown below) with a team enjoying a modern development process.
Asynchronous support for deciding what to do
A lot of the code a team writes will not be useful or have to be rewritten a better way later. It’s the number one problem of almost any developer. Most teams have three tools they can use to prevent code factory - meetings, design documents, and code reviews.
The only process workflow tooling that developers have currently is around code reviews and a little bit for design documents and that has successfully reduced a lot of meetings. However, important workflows like
- job approval
- job review
- job assistance
- proposal discussion
deserve alternatives to meetings also. Part of that tooling is a process aware inbox:
Unstructured comments with mentions and group chat are too rudimentary to even beat meetings for this purpose.
Plus the input from these workflows must also power status views.
An alternative to mandatory daily meetings
A second category of workflow tooling is necessary to prevent administrivia meetings:
- self assigning jobs / bugs
- job estimation
- team status view
- what I owe / what others owe me views
Here the team status view knows when a job needs assistance:
After a few days with no estimate or an expired estimate, Uclusion enforces the input of an estimated completion date on any accepted job. If one is not provided the job is automatically moved back to the approval stage.
This estimate can be changed at any time and a notification of the change will be sent to the group.
We hope you will consider Uclusion and enjoy dozens more features like above.
