I want to share with you an essential Management Information System that those of you who know me will be able to testify that I have been a firm advocate for many years now. In my last job I even had three instances of the application on (or at least in close proximity of) my desktop.
The utilisation of “Whiteboards” is almost limitless and I always insist on using it for all projects that I am involved in. The User Interface is so basic even a 5 year old can use it, but can be as sophisticated as required when in the hands of a skilled user. Uses I have found for the product include:
Project Management – tracking tasks & resources
CRM – activity tracking, contact and sales lead management
Software Development – prototyping, wireframes, code analysis, bug tracking
ERP – progress chasing, task prioritisation, resource planning, KPI tracking
Content / Document Management – content planning, drafting
HR & Business Admin – Organisation Charts, Process Flow Diagrams...
to name but a few.... there are a couple of limitations that I found. There is no built in spell checker and I haven’t been able to integrate with my email (yet). It is a very mature product meaning there are no bugs and therefore no need for updates, patches or maintenance contracts. I have even found recently that the application is fully Windows compatible as the following image shows.
Here are some essential Add-ins for your Whiteboard Application:
