Pavlos Sideris
From the start Team RG showed an impressive understanding of our business - something we rarely encounter. We were amazed at how quickly they grasped what we do, which gave us confidence that we were in the right hands. The team has been super organised and thorough with feedback, questions, and adjustments. It's clear they genuinely understand our processes and needs, which makes all the difference.
Challenges
Workflow Dependencies
The business faced challenges in managing workflows that required collaboration among multiple team members at various stages, such as ideation, drafting, and publication. While some tasks overlapped, others were sequential and required the completion of prior steps. This created bottlenecks and inefficiencies in coordination.
Centralised Task & Project Management
The existing task management approach lacked a unified solution to provide visibility into individual and team-wide workloads. Without a centralised platform, team members struggled to have clarity on deadlines, task dependencies, and their role in a wider process. Prioritisation of workload across the team was also difficult due to the inability to see the impact across different workflows.
Resource Forecasting
The absence of effective resource planning tools hindered the team’s ability to accurately forecast capacity. This gap made it difficult to balance routine workloads with the potential to take on additional projects that would support business growth.
Management Reporting
Key business metrics, including progress against targets and achievement of goals, were tracked manually. This time-intensive process often resulted in reporting being deprioritised, limiting the business’s ability to make data-driven decisions.
Solutions
Templated Processes for Automated Workflows
Standardised workflows were developed to streamline the business’s core processes, automating routine tasks and integrating dependencies with defined timescales. These workflows allow team members to visualise their pipeline of upcoming work and understand when their tasks are due. Built-in dependencies ensure that if any step in the process is delayed, deadlines across the workflow are automatically adjusted, minimising the need for manual timeline updates and improving overall efficiency.
Streamlined Task Management
A comprehensive task management system (ClickUp) was implemented, providing the team with a centralised view of workloads. Processes that were previously manual tracking methods were included, enabling the team to manage both recurring maintenance tasks and broader responsibilities within one system.
The use of the ClickUp hierarchy was utilised to build out each core business area as a separate space, ensuring simplicity in navigation while maintaining the flexibility to create customised dashboards and workload summaries.
Customised Metrics Dashboards
Custom dashboards were created for each key business area, offering real-time visibility into metrics and progress. By centralising all relevant data within one platform, manual tracking was eliminated.
Resource Management Framework
A resource management framework was introduced, incorporating time estimates to forecast team capacity. This solution will allow the team to optimise workload allocation as well as make informed decisions on taking on additional projects and business growth activities where it won’t affect the usual business operations.
Results
- Clear visibility on all tasks that are “on deck” allowing for workload to be prioritised
- The ability for the team to see their pipeline of tasks and projects across different business areas, allowing them to prioritise their workload independently and more effectively
- Optimal workflow timelines to provide visibility on the impact that a delay will have on the wider team, improving team communication and collaboration to meet target deadlines
- Actionable, real-time insights to see progress against targets and to allow data-driven decisions to be taken
- The company is now equipped with the tools and systems to scale their operations whilst maintaining efficiency and focus
