Enjoy coding more with better task communication

You work hard to be able to code with some autonomy, but that doesn’t mean you want to reach every decision by yourself. So meetings and chat shouldn’t be your only options for collaboration and status.

Uclusion is built for you to have better task communication than meetings, spreadsheets, Notion, and GitHub issues.

One assignee, unlimited collaborators

Besides having a great place to record and be reminded of all of your work, you can invite observers to a workspace to see status and enjoy collaboration features:

• Progress reports for reviews by observers
• Questions with voteable options
• Voteable suggestions that convert to tasks
• Smart notifications that only inform observers when they are participating

That’s on top of many, many single assignee features that are polished for dev work as only another developer coding for years can.

• Estimated completion date based reminders
• Moving tasks and bugs between and to jobs and back
• Mark task in progress and optionally remove in progress from others
• Navigation - next button, keystrokes, wizards with focussed buttons
• Mobile interface
• Different levels of bugs and backlog
• View autonomous mode to simplify the features for one assignee usage
• Optimized creation wizards for all objects
• Attach files
• Drag and drop bugs and jobs backed by wizards

As long as it’s just you and observers Uclusion is free. You are only charged when you graduate to team usage.

Small Team

When two people join a view many of Uclusion’s other collaboration features are that much more valuable:

• Status automatically reflects open questions, suggestions, and blockers
• Slack and email integration - see in channel notifications for critical bugs and questions that are also available asynchronous
• Backlog notifications vary by level of job or bug
• Job approvals
• Deep linking and view configurable short codes
• Move a reply to a task
• Smart notifications that show you exactly what changed

Everything above can be handled with more chat and meetings, but only in a much less satisfying way. With Uclusion when synchronous interaction is necessary your agenda is already queued up and half way done.

Customer Collaboration

When you create a workspace with a customer the ease of use of Uclusion really shines:

• Inbox wizards - every notification backed by a wizard with easy to understand push button common actions
• Discussion section - suggestions and questions with options are also top level objects
• Archive a workspace - only pay for users that are active

So everything in Uclusion scales up from simple to advanced usage without requiring your effort to customize. This principle also holds for larger teams.

Large Team

The larger a team the more difficulty communication and collaborating together. However, with a larger team you also get more help from Uclusion:

• Built-in flows prevent bogging down in meetings - self assigning jobs and bugs, approvals, reviews, estimation, and assistance.
• Sanity logic - only an assignee moves a job to approved, approvals expire, jobs cannot be moved to complete with resolving tasks, question asker decides on options that can be voted, approvals require recording a certainty, you can’t move a job to assistance without saying why, top level comments strongly typed, a new review resolves old ones, a reply can be moved to a task, mentions affect who is notified and how, critical notifications cannot be dismissed without a resolution, and much, much more
• Placeholder users and catchup notifications for newly joined
• Outbox - track what the team owes you and poke if required

Signing up for free puts you directly into a sandbox demo of a larger team in action. The main difference between that demo and an autonomous mode view is the removal from the UI of features that require more than one user.
