We just launched the airfocus mobile apps for iOS and Android: https://airfocus.io/apps/.

The apps are not really core to our business, but we built them using React Native in less than 10 days.

Trello is the #1 collaborative task management tool for teams. When we ask people why they love Trello, the answer is usually the same: 'Trello has revolutionized the way we manage tasks and has made us much more productive!'

So Trello is great to get stuff done. But how do managers decide on the best course of action when tasks and projects are piling up?

People have found creative ways to prioritize their tasks in Trello, mostly applying intuition and common sense. While this approach works for smaller to-do lists, relying solely on intuition is a risky method when it comes to large-scale and costly projects.
That's why we decided to join forces with Trello and made a new airfocus Power-Up to help you prioritize your Trello cards and build more effective roadmaps.

With the airfocus Power-Up, teams using Trello can sync tasks and priority scores from one tool to another, and never worry about dropping the ball on a project again!

The airfocus Trello Power-Up gives users two main advantages:

1. Prioritize strategic Trello cards more effectively.
2. Visually communicate priorities and roadmaps to teams
   right in Trello.

To get started, users have to integrate your Trello board(s) with airfocus to identify priorities with an easy to use scoring system. It doesn't matter if they don't know much about prioritization. We have always considered user guidance as an essential part of the airfocus product experience.

airfocus is all about giving helpful visualizations so that users can make informed and more objective decisions. Our simple drag'n drop functionality for presentation-ready roadmaps allows people to seamlessly communicate prioritization decisions and get their entire team aligned.

Secondly, an essential part of roadmapping is to help teams understand what is a priority and what is not. With the airfocus Power-Up, users can display the airfocus priority scores on Trello card covers so that teams can determine what's most important at a glance. No more switching software to figure out next steps. Being able to see the airfocus priority and roadmap visualizations right in the Trello dashboard vastly improves communication and clarity within teams.

By plugging airfocus into Trello, teams will be better aligned and equipped to tackle priority work, without having to read through outdated documents or strategy slides. Both systems revolve around giving the user easy visibility into what is happening in their business — and moving things forward.

To get started with airfocus just takes minutes. Simply add the airfocus Power-Up from the Trello Power-Up menu and follow the instructions.

Over the last months we got tons of valuable feedback about how to improve our prioritization and roadmapping solution. As a result we developed drag'n drop magic for the timeline view, an Asana import integration, item comments and lots of more helpful stuff.

Drag'n drop your timeline roadmap-
Roadmap planning is now more intuitive than ever. Drag'n drop your items to your gantt chart so they fit your timeline. Lengthen or shorten your items or simply move them horizontally. We'll find the optimal position on your roadmap.

Happy prioritizing!

Prioritization is important. In fact, doing the right things is arguably the most important thing for any company. Surprisingly, many companies put a lot of effort into doing things right, but they just assume they do the right things. Quite often, that turns out not to be the case. So, why are so many companies struggling with proper prioritization in the first place?

Prioritization is difficult. Everyone wants to be involved, everyone wants to be heard and everyone wants to have a say. Involving everyone in the prioritization process is impossible. On the other side, different people have different knowledge and information, some of which might be crucial for prioritizing certain things. Even in small companies, prioritization is usually not done by a single person.

So, in order to prioritize properly, you need to collect all the relevant information. Once you've done that, you have to prioritize all the things you plan to do somehow against each other. There are frameworks that help you to do that like the risk-reward prioritization. However, these frameworks are not known to everyone and in order to apply them properly you need to set up a complicated Excel sheet. Not exactly what you would like to have in today's world of remote working and online collaboration, right?

A New Solution For Prioritizing

airfocus was built to solve exactly those problems. A dedicated tool for proper prioritization, enabling you to finally do the right things. It provides all the known, science-backed prioritization frameworks and makes it easy to use them in the right way. It generates a beautiful visual representation and a roadmap automatically. It lets you collaborate with your team and other stakeholders, making sure all available information comes together in one place. And last, but not least, it connects with all the tools you already use, integrating perfectly with your workflow.

No more messy Excel sheets that are difficult to use and impossible to update. No more endless discussions about why something is more important than something else. No more ugly charts, graphs and tables that nobody understands.

airfocus provides simple and beautiful prioritization for decision makers and team. Sign up for our free 14 day trial and benefit from more objective and smarter decisions!

We're at the start of the journey of building airfocus to solve a billion dollar problem. Get in touch with lukas@airfocus.io or @airfocusApp for a demo, we would love to hear from you. You can also join our newsletter to learn about prioritization, decision making and focus.
