- The worklog day on my dashboard nicely filled.
Yesterday I was about to go home and before leaving on my Teamwork dashboard I noticed that my worklog was already all there without me having to insert it: I just opened and closed issues all day (one click for any of these) and.. the log was all already there!
I don’t love recording work logs, actually, I hate it and often just don’t do it; but since issues are just so easy to add/close, and they really help me “get things done”, I’m now getting work log recorded for free: nice!
In other words, with the effort of a to-do list I’m filling the requirements of a project-management app. What made a difference is that the in-line multi edit of issues is so fast to operate, and so easily linked to my different tasks, that it is my sole entry point in Teamwork, where I insert all my work. It was also important that even if issues come from different tasks, as long as I am focused on myself I can sort them, and give my chaotic day an order, with very very little effort. In this, Teamwork version 4 really solved the problem.

In this webcast Silvia Chelazzi and Pietro Polsinelli (I’m the latter, posting this) talk about Teamwork and IT integration. We focus the talk on built-in integration with other technologies.We talk about Subversion, Twitter, LDAP, ICal / Google calendars / Outlook, POP3/s SMTP/s IMAP, Microsoft Project / Basecamp import / export, Google docs, PDF /Excel exports; so it is a bit long…
We don’t talk about how you may get to integrate technologies by yourself, maybe that will be a topic for a future talk.
See the webcast in our player here; or see it on Vimeo here.
Suggestions for topics that the webcasts should cover are welcome: use the feedback service, with requests as this one.
References in and around the webcast: the IT integration part is documented on the web site here and here and in the user guide.
