We call it fast-food style, like a guy behind the counter who calls out that the order is ready, next one, please. This is the process that we are trying to build at the moment.Īs for the problems it resolves… You know, there are people who try to pass the information verbally. If we give feedback, the project has to be revised and go through the full cycle again. Once the task is completed, we – Art-direction, get the notification, check everything, give feedback or approve it.Īndrii. Our handbook has a checklist and explanation of what it is about. We actually built our process the way, that such basic things could be checked by any chap without any design experience. In fact, a manager needs to approve a completed task, he checks that everything is according to the procedure, even the name should be correct, not a copy-copy-copy x2. It includes some reference materials, that exactly should be completed, and the final target, aim that should be achieved. The task itself is written strictly according to the framework, rules specified in our handbook. We have our own… handbook of criteria that determine how we evaluate the tasks. It’s all about how we build our workflow. Well, now it is the approving process – I mean, getting confirmation that the tasks are completed. And something you have already fixed, too.ĭmytriy. ![]() What is the most problematic spot you are currently working on? I mean, something you haven’t fixed yet. It is important for us to find this balance between democracy, the process nerdiness, and simplicity of use without a loss in correctness.Īndrew. Tell me about your business process.ĭmytriy. There are such things, but, generally, we are ok with basic pre-set.Īndrew. But you can mess with them a little – sent for testing, testing in progress, etc. The tasks, in fact, have 4 states: planned, in progress, testing, and completed. Plus, it has its own SlackBot, which can be integrated and set for triggers. You can draw task schemes in there on the canvas. No, it has a workflow and its setup for a particular business process is very flexible. Well, Jira doesn’t have any workflow automation, does it?Īndrii. We just receive a message, a notification, basically, that the task has been started – it’s just an internal process.Īndrew. How does this bond with Slack? It’s interesting.Īndrii. So, our only solution is Jira and Slack – we simply integrate them.Īndrew. But other solutions don’t have sprints which we use anyway, because they make everything easier to control. We have been looking for one simple tracking solution because Jira is not really good at it. The program automatically collects the task name, divides it into days, and collects it all together. You take the task – you press the button, you finish the task – press it again. Yep, we rely on honesty, not on totalitarian watch. And how do you count the hours? Do I press the button when I start and when I finish my work?Īndrii. I mean, if someone works 5 hours per day, he is either underloaded or is simply fu*king around doing nothing.Īndrew. The main thing for us is time tracking because our employees get paid by the hour, and we want to understand their workload. The simplest thing we have worked out.ĭmitriy. We have found a quick solution – Jira bot, which will send notifications to Slack whenever something appears in the “Task” column. This is why we try to set the workflow explaining to the manager what he has to do. This process should be as smooth as possible.ĭmytriy. And not just sent and forgotten, but sent to the right person, aggregated, reviewed. Once the task is completed, it should be sent for approval. For example, one of the pain points was the risk to lose a completed task, when it was sent for approval. Consequently, we understood that we need a management procedure, as we faced the first process issues. At some point, we understood that we need more people to handle all the projects, and, with the team growing bigger, a manager. ![]() Originally there were 2 of us, each person is in charge of, let’s say, one project and is responsible for the project implementation, communication with clients… Responsible for everything. Tell me about your company – Brave Wings, and describe your business process setup.Īndrii. Can you guess what would be the tool? I doubt it, but let us know in the comments below.Īndrew. And, as you can see from the title, the guys have an answer for those, trying to find the best collaboration tool for UX\UI designers. Traditionally, we discuss the business process of creative teams, issues, and solutions. These guys have truly remarkable works in their portfolio, some of them can be found on Dribble, other projects cannot be shared in free access, due to contract restrictions, but believe me, they are even more interesting and complicated. Today, we are talking to Andrii Horbachov and Dmytriy Kravchenko – the co-founders of Brave Wings digital bureau, UX\UI specialists from Ukraine.
