Revamp Your Project Management: Transforming Chaos into Order with a Kanban Board
To effectively manage your project, it's crucial to continuously monitor its progress and stay aware of the status of every task. You need to ensure that everyone is on the same page and minimize any confusion by using a clear method to represent your project's progress. Without it, you'll encounter difficulties in keeping everything organized, identifying obstacles, meeting deadlines, and avoiding misunderstandings.
By using a Kanban board, you can effortlessly keep track of what tasks have been completed and what still needs to be done, giving you a bird's-eye view of your project's progress. It ensures that everyone involved in the project is on the same page and that your project stays on track. This is why we created Kerika so you can have a dynamic, real-time view of your project's progress.
Successful teams don't rely upon emails
Email is notoriously bad for productivity: too many people get involved in a thread, and pretty soon all that Reply All spam leave everyone feeling confused and frustrated.
Things get worse when you attach drafts of your writing and try to get comments: what started off as a simple MyArticle.docx quickly spawns MyArticle v2, My Article (John's feedback), My Article v3, and so on…
Important stuff gets lost in the avalanche of irrelevant emails, and it becomes all too easy for everyone to lose track of deadlines.
The challenge of coordinating tasks, keeping track of content, and collaborating has become more difficult now that people are working remotely: when folks are working in different locations, and at different times, making sure everyone is always on the same page is both harder and more vital.

Kerika's unique Highlights feature helps you stay focused on what matters
As your projects get more complex and you end up with a lot of cards, Kerika's Highlights feature will help you stay focused on what matters most to you. One common use of Highlights is to spotlight the cards assigned to you:
A Dashboard that helps you stay on top of things
With Kerika's Dashboard, you can stay updated on dozens of different projects at the same time.
Each option in Kerika's Dashboard is cleverly designed and helps you find everything you need in just a few clicks:
What's New & Updated: you don't need to check for updates on each board where you are a team member; Kerika summarizes it all for you.
What's Assigned to Me: use this option to focus on just those tasks that you are responsible for.
What Needs Attention: important stuff won't fall off your radar, just because a lot of other stuff is going on.
What Got Done: see, at a glance, everything that got done across all your projects – Today, This Week, Last Week, This Month, This Quarter. (No more writing or reading status reports!)
What's Due: a great way to plan your day, or your week, or a Sprint.
Custom notifications, at a glance
Kerika will highlight exactly what changed, on every card on every board:
Designed for remote and offshore teams
When people are working in different timezones, confusion about due dates is common: Did you mean the end of my day, or the end of your day?
That problem doesn't exist with Kerika, which automatically adjusts due dates to each user's timezone:
In this example, a work item that is due at the end of the day in India is shown as due at 11:30 AM in California, reflecting the 8:30 hour timezone difference. (And, yes,Kerika automatically handles daylight savings time!)
If you need a daily summary of what's due sent by email, Kerika will send that to you at 6AM where you live.
The Kerika team understands very well what people need to effectively collaborate across countries, because the Kerika team is a distributed team, using Kerika to make Kerika.
Kerika even has Whiteboards
For when you need to get creative
Whiteboards make it easy to visualize your ideas and plans.
You can explore concepts within concepts and even incorporate your files, videos, images, and Web content along with your flowcharts.
You won't find this anywhere else: Kerika invented and patented this!
