Stormboard

During the increasing remote work, we were faced with the challenges of inefficient online collaboration. We tried several tools to evaluate which tool should be the tool of our choice. One of the tools tested was Stormboard. Stormboard was attractive because the pricing was very competitive. The tool was tested during online workshops, online work, and documentation of user research results. Stormboard shows a lot of good and reliable functionalities that are state of the art among online collaboration tools. The Positive was that Stormboard also offers some functionalities that are not so common among popular competitors, eg. Tasks generation from elements, and report generation. However, there are also some features we missed or saw better implemented in other tools.

I use it to collaborate with people working in different offices, to brainstorm, create task lists, flow charts and help everyone understand what is going on and what is being planned. Colleagues working remotely and not in the office mean that we need something to bring everyone together and provide a team environment.

I personally use Stormboard to coordinate workshops and classes that we offer at the institution. The software makes it easy because we can all collaborate at the same time. We also use it during the classes to make them more interactive and collaborative. I train professors about how to include Stormboard in their classes and students usually like it.

We use it for the retros of our scrum meetings. It helps us to collect feedback from participants and group them very easily into themes. By doing this we enhance our productivity because the retros are essential for our productivity. We also may introduce it in our daily-stand ups to assess how each team member is progressing in time and what the blockers are.

Stormboard is a practical digital collaboration application for our team and many teams in the organization. We as a team utilize Stormboard whiteboard during our initial stage of a project to have a design solution. Being a team of developers, BAs, and Product owners, Stormboard is very useful for troubleshooting and overseeing any kind of issue that we can get during the project tenure.

I use Stormboard as a tool to help organize ideas in the innovation projects conducted by my team. It is a support tool used in brainstorming sections made with different teams of the company. It helps us to unify all the information collected and create diagrams of the workflows used by each area of the company. With this information in hand, we start the open innovation process, where we look for disruptive solutions available in the market that can help to improve the mapped workflows.

Stormboard is an awesome way to brainstorm new projects and put together a collaboration team to finish on time and within budget. Before using Stormboard, we were filing manually with paper and folders which were not productive by any means. Now we are able to quickly work together with the same vision.

We use Stormboard to program, manage and document all of our meetings and reunions that we have, either in person or on line. The ability to separate key partnerships, key activities and their relationships gives us the ability to quickly review and redesign all of our deliverables that come out of our meetings, with suppliers and with our employees. Also, having our cost structure, material or people, visible at all times helps us to keep our expenses in line.
