Manage tasks, estimates & deadlines
When it comes to managing work, sales, projects and client service across a team, keeping a handle on tasks, deadlines and how much work is left to be done is critical. Knowing who is doing what, how long they've got left and when it is due helps to manage work, resources and deadlines proactively, rather than living in a constant state of crisis management.Much more than a ToDo list, AffinityLive automatically schedules and creates tasks for staff based on project plans and business rules, and staff are prompted to re-estimate the time left on a task whenever they log time, giving real time feedback, making it much easier to manage the work your staff do for clients.
Easily track schedules & staff utilization
Managing changes - changes in deadlines, workloads, staff availability and more - is hard at the best of times, but it is even harder in a professional service business, where no two projects, clients or staff are ever the same.AffinityLive helps you take control in the chaos, with the ability to see, in real time, how changes in deadlines, availability and remaining time estimates on tasks affect the schedules, workloads and utilization of your team - allowing you to take action to head off problems before they become a crisis.
Quickly shuffle staff, tasks & deadlines
Sometimes things happen and you need to make quick decisions, reallocating staff, deferring tasks and shifting deadlines. With traditional approaches - spreadsheets, whiteboards, individual project plans & gantt charts - making these sorts of changes can take hours.Thankfully, AffinityLive provide a very quick and easy way to make changes to focus your team on the things that matter. With a few clicks, you can change deadlines, reallocate tasks to other staff and move deadlines, and in real time see how your changes effect resource utilization and schedules - all without opening a single spreadsheet!
Better work logs, better feedback
Partly because timesheets are such a chore, it is common for staff to be reporting on time spent and work done more than a week before. In a busy studio, consultancy or firm, with lots happening, it is little wonder that few of them complete their timesheets accurately, and with weeks between time reports, project managers can get some really nasty surprises when it comes to managing budgets and deadlines!AffinityLive takes a different approach, which is easier on staff, more meaningful for managers, more accurate for clients and which can flag problems with deadlines or budgets well in advance. Timesheets are pre-filled based on scheduled work, requiring users to simply confirm time worked and re-estimate hours remaining. Of course staff can also log unexpected work easily, but with this approach the feedback loop is much shorter, managers have better insight and time reports are much more accurate, which is good for everyone.
