Use case
A team spread across six applications is not a team with a problem. It is a team with no page.
The conversation is in Talk, the documents are in Files, the work is in Deck, the deadlines are in a calendar, and the thing that ties them together lives in the head of whoever has been there longest.
What it costs
The bill arrives quietly.
- New members take weeks to become useful. There is nothing to read, so context arrives through a handover meeting and whatever somebody remembers to mention.
- Questions get asked twice. An answer given in a chat thread in April is not findable in September, so it gets asked again and answered slightly differently.
- Responsibility blurs. Without a page saying what this team owns, work drifts to whoever is asked, which is usually whoever answered last time.
- Leaving hurts. When somebody moves on, the context goes with them, because it was never written down anywhere that survives them.
What changes
One page, built on the Team that already exists.
Nothing is migrated. The team keeps its Talk room, its folder, its board and its calendar exactly as they are. What it gains is somewhere those things are visible together, in the context of the team that owns them.
- A tab bar carrying the team's chat, folder, calendar, board, Collective and any other tool it depends on, ordered by each person to suit themselves.
- A message stream for the announcements, questions and polls that should not scroll away, kept separate from the conversation.
- Recent decisions on the page, with the reason each was taken and who approved it.
- Presence this week, so nobody has to ask around on Monday morning.
- A 30-day timeline of everything that happened in this team. A new member catches up by reading rather than by being briefed.
What it is worth
At each level.
For the organisation
Responsibility attaches to a team.
What a team owns is written on its page rather than held by the person who has been there longest, so a departure is a handover rather than a loss.
For the team
One place instead of six.
The conversation, the documents, the work and the decisions in the context of the team. New members read their way in.
For the person
Fewer places to check.
What changed in this team is on the team page. What is waiting on you, across every team, is in My Work.
What makes it work
Decisions
A proposal, an approver, a recorded reason and a trail that cannot be edited.
