For your job, wich features are important?
Precise note taking during meeting and track my tasks from my notes are features critical to my daily work. Managing my projects is a feature that is critical in my personal organization indeed, I manage many projects at the same time so it is important that I have a clear vision of this.
However, the meeting minutes and manageme client are useful features from time to time.
Could you describe your business workflow:
| for taking notes and handling meeting minutes? | I took my notes on my own and it only concerns me most of the time. Concerning the meeting minutes, I am slowly starting to use it (since two week), and it is true that the function is good but for the moment I do not use it regularly. |
| to manage tasks? | Every day or almost I list into Beesy my new tasks to do. If a customer calls to discuss about a problem or a project, I list the tasks into and I use the duedate for the achievement of each task. Every morning, I check on the dashboard my tasks and I organize my day according to priorities. According periods Beesy helps me for 70-80% of my tasks. |
| to manage projects? | Management very “dynamic” for my projects. We work on short projects, 3 to 6 months in general. Project management is fairly informal or via Agile Scrum. |
| to manage your clients? | We meet our clients on average 2-3 times per project. Sometimes less if geographical distance is important. We organize regular calls and we send an e-mail recap with the main tasks to do. In the case of customers such wen or communication agency, it is them who write the meeting minutes of these projects. |
