Overall Satisfaction with BoardPro

For our organization, I'm a Project Manager and there are a lot of projects that I have to manage, in different areas and with different team members. With BoardPro I use an unique platform to manage all the projects also when I have to communicate with people outside the company. BoardPro is like a control panel (a board) where you can show all the details for every project without waste time or searching mails and documents in outlook or in your local repository. You are sure that the document you are working on is the last version and, when there are corrections or integrations you know when they were done and who did them. Moreover, every document is linked with an event in the agenda, so it makes easy to share the documents with all the people who participated in a meeting. In my experience the more relevant benefits are: a cleaner way to manage projects; avoiding waste of time to search and re-create the meetings (and also the ideas, the notes and the decisions that were taken) and give to the team members a space in which they can collaborate as a team.
  • Different boards for every projects in an unique platform
  • A common space in which team members can participate in a project, using resources as documents and minutes and can annotate them in the personal local space
  • For every project there are the details of every single meeting; and for every meeting you can easily look all the notes and the minutes taken
  • development of an Android app (at the moment available only on the Apple store)
  • a section for the Q&A answer for users at the beginning level
  • upload also excel format documents
  • a clean agenda for every meeting with minutes and documents linked on it
  • separated board for every project
  • sharing documents among team members, and the possibility to annotate/integrate them
  • BoardPro reduces time dedicated to burocracy aspects
  • BoardPro increases teamwork
BoardPro is a different way to think the teamwork and project management.
Respect the other platforms with BoardPro you can have in a unique platform everything you need for the project you are managing.
If the boss, team members, stakeholders or anyone different ask you something about the project, you can search the thing you need with a mouse click, without switching from outlook to other platforms. It seems easy and quite stupid, but it's essential for a PM.
With Teams for sure you can work in a same document with the team members but you don't have the possibility to understand if the document in which you are working on is the last version or what version is it. And with Teams you have to create your own repository... here BoardPro create it for you

BoardPro has potential when you have to manage different projects or, for the same project, different tasks. This because in my opinion, the main advantage is having in a unique board all the details for every single project without switch from outlook, to word, to one not or to local repository or so on. Moreover, when you have to manage different project often the subjects are different but the way to manage is quite similar (for instance, in the case of the "Agile method") and with BoardPro you can create some standard templates that you can re-use in different tasks. Less appropriate when you have to manage a simple task, with few people (groups of three/four people) to coordinate, because even if Board Pro can be use, you can have same results also with other instruments (basically only with outlook and its function of meetings and emails)
