For remote and hybrid teams
Toronto's logged off. Nobody's left to ask.
In Plexii, the handover gets one desk.
The problem
When one office logs off as another starts, the handover is spread across chat, an email and a file marked FINAL. The person who could answer your question is asleep.
In the video: “Morning in Melbourne. Toronto's logged off. Their handover's in chat, an email and a file marked FINAL.”
How PlexiDesk handles it
In PlexiDesk, the handover gets one desk. A desk is one canvas for one piece of work, and the video tours three of its widgets:
What's urgent
In the video: “What's urgent, and who has the fix.”
A Card widget calls out what is urgent and who has the fix.
Every handover
In the video: “Every handover, and how each one went.”
A Table widget keeps every handover and how each one went.
Today's handover
In the video: “Today's note: what changed, what's next, who to call.”
A Note widget holds today's handover: what changed, what is next and who to call.
Working on the desk together
To keep the handover desk itself between offices, share the desk with specific people and choose Can edit. They get the desk, not a copy, and each person's changes reach the others as they work. Everyone needs a PlexiDesk account and has to be signed in.
On a shared desk each widget keeps its most recent change, so it helps when people work in different widgets at the same time. To write the same text together, use a live document, where everyone's typing is merged. Seeing who else is on the desk right now is on the Team plan. The details are in Work together in real time.
When something else comes up
In the video: “Then the team needs your say on a new hire. Switch desks. The handover waits where you left it.”
The other job gets a desk of its own, so switching does not mean packing anything away. In the video, “The overnight handover” stays exactly as it was while “Team decision log” is open. Open desks sit side by side as tabs in the open items strip, a click apart, and Resume writes a short note on where a desk stands for when you come back to it.
The handover on one desk. The decision on another.
Try it
Set up the desk yourself from a template: each one lists the widgets it needs and how to set it up in PlexiDesk.
