Recall any random task in your team. Think of relations it has to other tasks, goals, objectives, actors or processes. Most of work is connected. That’s what Chains are – an easy way to visualize and organize resources and connections.
Chains are used alongside regular tasks as a new organizational principle. Since the work consists of local goals, the chain’s first purpose is to plan,
gather and streamline resources and context toward those objectives. The second purpose is to record, structure and track ongoing team work.
1. Structuring & tracking teamwork
2. Full context while working on objectives
3. Micromanagement and coordination
4. Valuable knowledge
5. Bottlenecks
1. Team tasks, actions and interactions are chained
2. Related tasks and data live within one linked interface
3. Teamwork is visualized and trackable for all participants
4. History and knowledge are kept where work happens
5. Unexpected events are tracked in branches
Three basic items – tasks, meets, approvals – can form chains either in their original state or any other, like actions, add-ons, changes, variants,
follow-ups, branches, discussions.. Chain’s items (steps) can be both predefined or added on the fly. Apply chaining in company-wide cases..
