Personal Task Management

We're all good at starting things, but less good at finishing them - particularly when there are a lot of things to do. In addition to helping teams work more effectively together, ActionThis is ideal for individuals too. See how one person uses ActionThis as a personal task management tool:

Roshan, Strategic Consultant

"As a consultant, I'm looking at ways of better managing my own workload.

I use ActionThis for managing my own personal tasks. I use the Outlook client and use ActionThis as a replacement for the Outlook task list.

What I like about it is that tasks can't get 'lost'. Unless I close them they are there, and the system sends me a workload report every day - which I actually use. I also like the way you can turn an email into a task so I can remember to follow up."

Benefits:

  • Tasks don't get lost or deleted - the system keeps track of what needs to be done and reminds you
  • Automated workload reports keep you updated as to what needs to be done, while the online workload reports not only track what you need to do, but also what you've asked other people to do
  • Seamless access with Outlook ensures action items are easy to use and manage

Team Management

ActionThis is ideal for teams trying to keep track of the myriad ad hoc tasks we all need to deal with every day, ensuring these tasks are tracked, and keeping everyone updated. Learn how one person is able to keep their team on track using ActionThis.

Murray, Chief Financial Officer

"I look after the administration team, and the biggest challenge is keeping track of all the little requests that come in.

I have a meeting with my team every Monday morning, and send out the notes as action items. We can steadily add to this through the week. I have a number of part timers on staff and people who work from home. ActionThis allows a consolidated view, and everyone can see what everyone else is doing. It means things don't slip through the cracks, and it's quick to use. I didn't really have to train everyone – they just picked it up."

Benefits:

  • Manages many ad hoc tasks through to completion
  • Improved visibility of team's actions – including those who work part-time and may not be in the office
  • Easy to use, with minimal training required

Project Administrator

Managing teams is one thing; managing projects is another – these can be just as complex. Here's what one ActionThis user thought about her experience of using ActionThis to co-ordinate projects:

Stephanie, Project Administrator

"I look after everything. Don't talk to me Monday morning – I need this time to get the world in shape. I'm dealing with a lot of people, a lot of different things.

I use ActionThis like tracked email. I send them an ActionThis action item and they need to get it done, there is no 'I didn't get that email' or 'I was busy with something else.' If you agree to do it, get it done and don’t bug me Monday morning."

Benefits:

  • ActionThis lets this user focus on managing her projects, not managing everyone in her team – ActionThis tracks those tasks for her
  • Commitments are important in any working relationship, and ActionThis creates a "virtual contract" between users – if someone accepts an action items, they’re committed to finishing it, and the system keeps them on track
