A Game Changer For Remote Teams
Notion For Businesses In our endeavors to streamline remote work to achieve the most efficient workflow possible, the Gaper teams have tried several work management and productivity platforms. And what with the global pandemic forcing everyone to operate remotely, we have a sudden surge of business founders and managers running around like headless chickens without any decent idea on how to continue normal workflow exclusively online. What did we conclude? There are many well-developed work applications out there, some of which are malleable to a broad range of work needs, some that are designed for specific teams and operations. However, as the title indicates, we found a neat little solution in Notion - a simple, comprehensive platform that supports dynamic planning of business (and personal) activities.
The Interface - Clean and Crisp Notion is not overwhelming for the senses - a characteristic which we found to be key when using a new application. It features a minimal, uncluttered interface which it lets you populate to your own liking. To put it concisely, Notion lets you create a workspace. Within this workspace, users can add team members. The workspace can then be populated by relevant pages that can contain schedules, ideas, meeting notes, to-do lists, links, tables, and many other elements that you may require to organize work related tasks. Of course these pages can in turn contain sub-pages. If this sounds too confusing, just know that it starts to get easier once you actually begin working on it. Notion is remarkably compatible with any level of tech-savviness. Notion is also able to host all sorts of content completely eliminating the need for you to send separate emails or messages to your team members. If you need your supervisor to check a presentation you have created, you simply attach or embed the presentation in its respective page, mention your manager, add some comments to let them know what you have done and just carry on with your work. Your supervisor can then check your presentation and make any comments accordingly. It is almost like having a face-to-face discussion in an office without disrespecting pandemic-induced SOPs.
