Break down business objectives into initiatives and milestones. Set dates, describe why, what and how and delegate to other users. Now users that wish to do so can break down milestones into actions. Actions are to-do’s with deadlines that can also be assigned to colleagues that you wish to involve in a collaboration.
For large complex deliverables, break down the complexity by creating sub-initiatives and delegate to more users to get the job done. Empower more users to create milestones and actions when they need them to visualise workload in real-time.
Use ActionPlanner’s overview reports to get visibility and transparency from one place only. The overview reports are interactive so you can get information the minute you see something you want to drill down into. Like “how much time has passed?” and “how far are we?” or “who is doing what by when?”.
All status updates from employees instantly aggregate into reports for different levels. No need to wait for data collection and analysis – the report is done when the update is done.
Being a cloud-solution, accessing ActionPlanner from anywhere gives the opportunity to report your status when on the go. We are continuously developing new mobile applications for different mobile devices and operating systems.
ActionPlanner helps employees provide structured and frequent feedback to the initiatives and milestones they are responsible for. A feedback consists of three components that in combination indicates how the employee evaluates the progress: a traffic light, text comments and metrics.
KPIs and coloured status indicators are aggregated on all levels, so each organizational level can track overall progress for their level. Each view allows you to drill down to an organizational unit or even a specific update to investigate why things are looking satisfactory or challenging.
Every morning, you receive a ”Compressed email” gathering your ActionPlanner relevant information for the past 24 hours. With the compressed email, you are able to get up-to-speed first thing in the morning and can focus on ”what’s next” the minute you arrive at the office without being spammed with emails all day long.
Use comments when collaborating around an initiative, milestone or action, just like LinkedIn or Facebook. Share files and information through ActionPlanner and you’ll have a very detailed track record and intuitive place to find what you need.
Create to-do’s – we call them actions – behind milestones and initiatives when you execute. You can describe your actions with name, due date, who’s responsible, priority – and attach files. Having the ability to capture reminders and to-do’s in a hectic every day both ensures that you are on top of executing on important company goals and that you can do all your work from one single tool.
Administrators, super users and users – also, managers can access more functionality. Different levels of involvement in the plan creates specific editing and viewing rights depending on the plan and individual responsibilities. You can involve external users, e.g. consultants who work on your execution plan.
Allow yourself to build a priority list that both incorporates “Developing the business” and “Running the business” activities in one interactive and dynamic overview. In ActionPlanner you do this by creating a digital priority list across all the activities you are involved in and unlike handwritten notes, you will have your priority list with you at all times. Need to re-prioritize? Simply drag-and-drop the actions to re-prioritize your to-do list.
