Beautiful whiteboard for teams

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a simple yet powerful tool to bring all of our teachers on the same page. I took interest in Allo when I saw its Daily Standup template and I thought it is a great solution for our online Weekly Huddle meetings. Some of our teachers are experts at using modern technology but some just get by. However, all of them understand one thing: the whiteboard. Allo enables us to use the familiarity of this centerpiece of the classroom to present ideas, challenges, and problems in an intuitive and digital way.

Pros

  • team's report at Weekly Huddle
  • designing new teaching aids
  • collaboration on writing textbooks

Cons

  • more views for projects
  • more templates
  • task management options inside a canvas (deadlines, recurring etc)

Return on Investment

  • it improved clarity regarding our teams goals

A visually appealing and helpful visual collaboration tool!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are constantly sharing documents on Slack and it's becoming a huge issue to keep it all organized per project. We make use of Allo to make boards for each project now and then upload all of our documents there. It keeps things organized and clean and much easier to pull out what we need at a moment's notice.

Pros

  • Ease of us
  • Visually appealing
  • Clean design

Cons

  • A lower cost
  • Customizations for companies
  • Easier management of multiple users

Return on Investment

  • Helped organize our team
  • Still easy to navigate documents after 1000s have been uploaded
  • Relaxing to work with
