Cadrelo

Hey all, Inviting all makers to use cadrelo for your project. If you're looking for a simple alternative to complex management tool why not give us a spin. It's absolutely free for teams up to 5. It'll help you organise goals, work with outsourced help and get everyone moving in the same direction. Would love to hear your feedback. https://app.cadrelo.com/

This has been some of the most challenging and difficult period for our small SaaS. We've made some massive changes to how our application works based on user feedback and what we think is the right thing to do.

Essentially we've made some pretty big bets on focusing on the nuts and bolts of productivity and making that super transparent, scalable and simple. This means that our focus on the softer aspects of teamwork has taken a bit of a back seat.

The changes we've made mean that we've focused on:

🏆Goals,
🙌Teams, and
⏱️Effort tracking.

I'd be super happy to have any teams jump on and give us shot. We support a bunch of teams all over the globe, but we're always looking for more feedback!

So the world of work has changed and so has your team! One thing hasn’t and it’s remained a constant challenge. How do team members get updated on what everyone is working on and how do we do that efficiently, while still making it a human experience?

With Cadrelo Syncs remote & hybrid teams can check in with each other, stay up to date and keep working together across timezones and work locations.

🧭 Focus on the right stuff and cut the fluff
🔍 Know what everyone is working on irrespective of timezones
⛵ Check-in from anywhere at any time - your way!
🚀 Interact around meaningful work agendas
🤝 Integrations with Slack and Atlassian Jira.

So we've looked at the user patterns and behavior on platform and usage. It's become really clear that our platform needs a single hook and spearhead from which everything starts. As a result, we're doing massive updates to how our "Daily Sync" experience works. It's meant to feel snappy, and quick and informs your team of what you're working on, where you might need help, or what discussions you'd like to have. The other parts of our toolbox need more onboarding so we're reworking how they're introduced to teams and how they're presented or their use is encouraged.

We've also been addressing our messaging. Our key offering is about lightweight productivity tools that are wrapped into community building or engagement rituals that help the team become more effective. In other words: Productivity 🧰 + Engagement❤️‍🔥 = Performance Amplified ⚡

The expanded version of that:

We believe that performance and engagement are symbiotic and we are building a single space orchestrated by a virtual culture champion where performance happens and teams feel emotionally invested.

Well we've been monitoring the usage and feature engagement on Mixpanel...there's a really clear winning feature and others that are getting limited use.

In addition to that there's been some pretty great feedback from the user interviews that we've done. Now some people may interpret these as disastrous but it is what it is. Need to really lean in and fix some of these challenges.

1. The application feels broad and they are getting lost in some parts.
2. They would like it to be more focused

So far we're sitting about 70% for engagement at 30 days (when we started measuring) I'm not sure whether that's good or bad but time will tell.

With all of that in mind we'll be focusing on:

• Improving onboarding
• Streamlining features
• Building in a reminder and re-engagement loop for users

Cheeky Friday release! So you asked for it and here it is! You can now set up a daily sync Slack reminder to gently nudge your team to post a daily update.

Ahh the retro, monthly review, fortnightly check-in, or whatever your team calls it. Get together, keep it light, and consolidate your learning in the hopes of improving as a team.

We’ve really simplified the retro experience, so here’s how we do retros (or whatever you call them).
♾️ Continuous rather than point-in-time where there's pressure to generate ideas
🚀 Action-orientated! The Cadrelo lets your team prioritize team input, assign team members to drive outcomes and review progress outstanding tickets. No more resets where commitments disappear as soon as a new retro begins.
🤗 For everyone! Not just for the nerd herd but everyone else too! Cadrelo retro can be used for sales, support, HR, and customer success to create dynamic agendas between review meetings and see how things are ticking along as part of a weekly or fortnightly check-in.

The way we do work has changed (past tense). But given we’re such a bright species, our forced adjustment to pandemic-times ways of working has accelerated the #worktech innovations helping us work better together over virtual cubicle walls. And it has seen a blending of traditional silos: engagement, productivity, and experience.

Cue: Cadrelo 🚀

The genesis of Cadrelo started out as an initiative codenamed: Project Belong (we’re sweet and sentimental like that). We wanted to help teams bottle cultural lightning so they can create healthier, happier, high-performing best versions of themselves.
