Automate Follow-Up on Delegated Tasks

In a fast-growing startup, one has to manage dozens of tasks. Some of these tasks are specialized, like Product or Project Management activities, Sales related activities, etc. However, a bunch of tasks are purely ad-hoc, low value, but important. They may not be urgent, but they need to be eventually completed anyhow.

Take an example - recently our HR had to leave our company due to some medical reasons. We hired a new Senior member in our HR Team as a replacement. Now the thing is that this senior member had to collect an office laptop for herself from our office. Our office is currently shut down due to COVID-19 and we are all working remotely. So, another employee of ours who stays near to the office helped get this done.

As a company process, we have to enter the allocated asset details on our internal system. Since our previous HR abruptly left, the duty of this fell on my Cofounder who looks at HR.

It is neither an urgent nor an important task and hence it was delegated to HR. However, if this task is not completed, it is a problem. But now, this task is in the hands of a Founder, who has better things to do, and so, this gets heavily deprioritized.

We all have faced such situations where we are forced to do low-value tasks which definitely need to be completed, otherwise, they may eventually create some issues.

Specialized Product and Project Management tools cannot be used for such ad-hoc tasks. Todo lists are almost always not the best option because - come on, we all procrastinate. In such situations, what’s the best solution?

A solution that gives constant reminders - “PLEASE DO THIS!”. A solution like this will help you delegate tasks effectively and help you follow up with your team members in a completely automated manner.
