Tasks

Who was supposed to order the flow cells?

Lab to-dos live in chats, on whiteboards and in meeting notes, and slip through the gaps between them. SLIM puts every task on a board with an owner and a due date, linked to the project it belongs to.

The problem

Lab work falls through the gaps between chat, whiteboard and memory.

Somebody says “I’ll do it” in a meeting, it goes on the whiteboard, and three weeks later nobody is sure whether it happened.

No owner

Tasks are agreed in meetings but never assigned to one person.

No deadline

Nothing is ever overdue, because nothing ever had a date.

Two labs, two lists

People working across labs juggle separate lists and miss things in both.

Try it yourself

Give every task an owner and a date.

Create a task with a checklist and an owner, tick tasks off, and regroup the list by project, priority or person.

How SLIM handles it

Every task has an owner, a date and a place.

Solves: no owner, no deadline

Boards with owners, dates and checklists

A plan belongs to the lab or to a project, with columns for whatever stages the work really has. Every card has an assignee, a due date, a priority and a checklist, and moving it on is a drag.

  • Checklists with their own progress
  • Priorities that sort and colour
  • Linked to a project, so progress is real

Everything assigned to you, on one page

The overview collects everything with your name on it from every lab you belong to, sorted by what is overdue, and shows which lab each task came from.

  • Overdue first, so nothing slips
  • Across every lab in the organisation
