Trust but Verify - Monitoring Performance in Flows
Managing people can be nothing short of a royal pain in the rubber parts. Juggling a bunch of different personalities, hopes, and expectations, all while trying to make sure everyone's on the same page and getting things done. And let's talk about the elephant in the room: Maintaining visibility on the work that’s happening and feeling on top of things. Keeping an eye on what everyone's up to without feeling like you're hovering or micromanaging? Yeah, that's not a picnic either. It's a real juggling act of leadership, trying to give team members enough space to spread their wings but also ensuring things run smoothly and avoiding surprises.
Navgar allows you to stay informed and afloat without feeling like you’re being intrusive or giving the appearance of being suspicious about how someone is performing, even if sometimes maybe you need to be. Using chat to navigate through past due tasks assigned for causes of slippage is hardly the sign of a micromanager. Generally, the ad hoc task, or even those in larger projects aren’t hard to maintain visibility on, especially if the tasks you want to know about are assigned by you.
With Flows there are often greater stakes involved, at least in terms of the number of possible contributors working sequentially towards an ultimate goal. Imagine having a bird's-eye view of your organization's activities, where you can zoom in to see the nitty-gritty details without losing sight of the bigger picture. With Navgar's 'running flow tasks' view, you're no longer in the dark about what's happening across your team and where things are sitting in the course of respective flows under execution. It's like having a finely tuned microscope for your operations. You can effortlessly drill down into each task, project, or process to see who's doing what, the progress being made, and any potential roadblocks. It's a game-changer for managers who want to strike that perfect balance between staying informed and empowering their team. No more guesswork or endless follow-up emails – just clear visibility and a better grasp on the pulse of your organization.
When you’re ready to raise the view up a layer, the 'Running Flows' view takes your managerial insight up a notch, providing a broader perspective on ongoing processes in flight.
