Operations and infrastructure
Business expansion
Taking on more space means building work, new equipment and an opening date, all while the business stays open. Here the expansion is one project: the building work, the new rooms and the lease, deliveries and inspections, and photos of the new space.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar
Office move
An office move happens over one weekend, and every desk, computer and box must be packed before it and working after it. Here the move is one project: lists for move weekend, the build-out and IT, photos of the new building, and the books on a board.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Chat
Warehouse software rollout
A warehouse has to keep shipping while each shift learns new handhelds, labels and screens, one area at a time. Here the rollout is one project: the cutover checklists, each area's progress on a board, the vendor's mail, floor photos and the supervisors' end-of-shift answers.
Tools: Docs & Files, Check-ins, Boards, Message Board, To-dos, Chat, Calendar
Electric ferry launch
Before a new ferry carries its first riders, the boat, the chargers on shore and the trained crew must all be ready on the same date. Here the launch is one project: assembly and landing photos, the trials punch list, four lists of work and the opening timetable.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards
Warehouse robotics pilot
A robot pilot has a few weeks to show whether picks per hour and accuracy beat the current method, while orders keep shipping. This project holds shift check-ins, the pilot plan on the progress chart, weekly results, robot stops on a board and floor photos.
Tools: Check-ins, To-dos, Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, Chat
Second location opening
A second location has to be built, licensed and staffed while the first one stays open. Here the new shop is one project: the build-out on a board, photos of the room and of tryout haircuts, lists for permits, the build, hiring and opening, and the calendar.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar
New airline route
A new air route opens on a fixed date, and the station, the staff and the aircraft must be ready before the first passenger boards. Here the route is one project: station equipment on a board, terminal and test flight photos, the schedule and the staff's weekly check-ins.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Boards, Docs & Files, Chat, Check-ins, Calendar
Bike share expansion
Every new bike share station needs a site, a permit, a concrete pad and power before anyone can ride from it. Here the expansion is one project: each station on a board, lists for e-bikes and launch day, install photos and a daily crew check-in.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, To-dos, Docs & Files, Calendar, Check-ins
