For startups and small teams
Two weeks to launch. Everyone's asking what's left.
In Plexii, the launch gets one desk.
The problem
Two weeks before a launch the checklist is in a spreadsheet, decisions are in chat and everyone keeps asking what is left. The weekly planning still has to happen.
In the video: “Two weeks to launch. The checklist's in a spreadsheet, decisions are in chat, and everyone's asking what's left.”
How PlexiDesk handles it
In PlexiDesk, the launch gets one desk. A desk is one canvas for one piece of work, and the video tours three of its widgets:
What's left
In the video: “Every job left, who owns it, when it's due.”
A Table widget lists every job left, who owns it and when it is due.
What's decided
In the video: “What's decided, and what's still open.”
A Page widget records what is decided and what is still open.
Ready to go live?
In the video: “What has to be true to go live.”
A Custom block is a go/no-go form: the checks to tick before it goes live.
When something else comes up
In the video: “Then it's Monday kickoff. Switch desks, nothing to rebuild. The launch waits right where you left it.”
The other job gets a desk of its own, so switching does not mean packing anything away. In the video, “Clinic waitlist launch” stays exactly as it was while “This week's priorities” 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.
One desk for the launch. One for the week.
