Introducing the “Dynamic” Task Timeline!

by Martin on January 11th, 2010

Timing is everything! We think so, too…

Yes, we listened! Many of you have asked us for better ways to manage your tasks with respect to the time and date. Here we are announcing our new timeline feature! We made it very intuitive for you - just like writing your tasks for the day in your daily planner, we added the possibility for you to directly add tasks in your timeline.

Now, if you hover over the timeline, you will find that you can add tasks either in the day, week or month view. Feel free to rearrange tasks freely on the timeline. Just as you are used to from tasks in the dashboard, a click on the task will reveal the power options such as scheduling reminders, assigning tasks to colleagues, and much more!

Monthly view: add tasks directly in the timeline!

Monthly view: add tasks directly in the timeline!

So try it and let us know what you think:

  • Add tasks directly into the timeline
  • Rearrange tasks between days, weeks and months
  • Access task actions directly by clicking on the task

Eager to get everyone’s feedback!

Introducing you the first Email Task Management System!

by Jeremie on December 2nd, 2009

Hey,

We just improved the mail to task feature ! A LOT.


Our objective at Producteev is to plug our Task Management features into your WorkFlow, and now we just stepped up the Game with a VERY useful and crazy simple feature tied to your email.

If you don’t use it yet, let me remind you what it is.
If you send an email to task@producteev.com, we will automatically create a task on your Producteev dashboard. The title of the task is the subject of your email and the task description is the body.

So what’s new?
In the new mail-to-task version, you’ll be able to assign your tasks directly to a specific to-do list, set a deadline, attach a file to a task, and share it with colleagues by entering their emails as you usually do when you email them. All of these features triggered by one single email!

1

- #DATE: Adds a due date to your tasks. For example add #12/23/2009 to your email and it will occur in your recipient box on Producteev with a due date for December 23rd.

- #TODOLIST: puts the task into one of your to-do lists. For example, add #Marketing in order to put the task into the to-do list ‘Marketing’.

- FILES: your attachments will automatically be added to the task.

- Colleagues: Put one or several colleagues as recipients of your email to share the task with them on Producteev (if they’re on your Producteev Team).

2 See, it’s created automatically on your Producteev Dashboard.

Then, we send you an automated mail to confirm that your task has been created in your Producteev account and access to the URL of your task. Four your information, when you set a deadline to a task, we create reminders that you and your colleagues will receive before the task is due.

How you could use Producteev for your meetings

by Jeremie on November 30th, 2009

I just stumbled upon a blog post by Fred Wilson where he discusses how discussions have turned out to be a more productive setting than presentations during his firms board meetings.

a VC in NYC

Indeed, discussions can be extremely productive ways to hold meetings, but if matters are just discussed you will encounter the risk of “just talking” as opposed to creating actionable tasks from what has been discussed.


Producteev is a great tool to capture tasks during such a discussion. In producteev, you can quickly create tasks while you are discussing. So in a meeting you could have one person taking protocol of what actionable tasks have been identified and put them into producteev. In a next step, tasks can be assigned to specific people and deadlines on tasks can be set (and of course, you can also use many more fatures that come natively in producteev to manage these tasks)

Here is what we do here at Producteev:

For each meeting where we have discussions, we use the create tasks field to capture all the action items we identify during our discussion in the recipient box:

After the meeting, we just assign the tasks to the team member who will be in charge…


pic2…set a deadline for the task…

…and there you are!

Producteev is a simple and efficient way to help you keep track of what has been said during your discussion meeting.
To try Producteev for you team, click here and select the plan that best suits you. You can try all features on all plans for free during the first 14 days after signup.

by Jeremie on November 24th, 2009

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know some of the things we have been working on to improve your user experience on Producteev.

goodnews

- The website optimization is on progress, the loading time should be much better right now !

- Now when you proceed to a payment via Paypal, we guide you through the process. You don’t have to worry if you are not used to paying via Paypal, we made it very simple and understandable.

- Task creation just became a piece of cake

- From now on, you will  see a progression bar when you upload documents.

- We fixed many bugs and compatibility issues with Internet Explorer. If you had problems in the past using Producteev on this browser, it should be working without any problem now.

What we are currently working on :
- Improve and add features to the Mail to Task. Soon it’s going to be possible to attach a file on a task directly via email and add tags (deadlines, share it, set a reminder etc…). In case you didn’t know it, you can easily add a task to your dashboard simply by shooting an email to task@producteev.com

- A new version of Producteev for iPhone with a wonderful design, but sshhh…!application-iphone-producteev1

by Jeremie on November 11th, 2009

Hi everyone,

If you follow us on Twitter (@producteev and @ilan), you might have seen that we’ve received some press coverage in France.

As you know, our Founders are originally from France (even though we now have a real multinational team), and part of our traffic is coming from France too, so we try to remain active in the French Landscape.
(FYI, Producteev is available in English, German, Spanish and French)

Lately, we’ve been talked about on several leading tech blogs in France.  Here are some of the blogs weh‘ve been published on :

- Vincentabry.com, @vincentabry
- Descary.com, @bdescary
- Vendeesign.com, @vendeesign
- Tapahont, @Rrfly

Thanks guys for talking about us !

But that’s not all ! The French Radio BFM,  the top business radio in France, talked about us on October 31st  in their two-hour weekly show “L’atelier Numerique”. If you speak French, you definitely have to check it out ! Either go to iTunes to download the podcast or click here to listen to the specific part about Producteev.
