JuggleMyStuff
has given me my life back!
I coordinate a website that offers over 1,000 pages of legal information.
We have more than 10 editors and we are in the process of creating
6 other versions of the website in different languages, which means
we essentially have to duplicate the same thing 6 times and work with
more than 6 translators. For each website there are over 100 specific
individual tasks that need to be replicated and many of these tasks
depend upon completing other tasks. With JuggleMyStuff I can hand
tasks off to other people, I can keep track of who has done what and
when and what is holding up the completion of certain jobs. I do not
have to do it all myself anymore!
JuggleMyStuff is useful, flexible and efficient.
JMS offers a unique feature that enables us to create an outline
or hierarchy of lists within lists (computer people call this concept,
"nested lists") which reflects the real world of project
management. Very rarely does a project encompass merely a linear
list of items that need to be completed. Inevitably, one item's
completion depends on a number of other tasks and sometimes one
of the second tier of tasks is not simply an item that needs to
be completed, but yet another series of things to do. Meanwhile,
there are many other items that can be completed in a single stroke
that can/need to be done simultaneously.
Not only can we create an outline of lists and to-do items but
we can quickly stick another set of jobs into the list anywhere,
at any level and move the items and lists around within the project.
Furthermore, we can tag items so that although they appear only
once in the overall schema, if we are trying to find all the items
associated with the completion of a different set of lists in the
project, JuggleMyStuff's tagging feature allows us to see what else
needs to be done in order to finish a simultaneous, but related
task. In addition to this flexibility, we can save the entire outline
as a template and simply reproduce the whole schema again. Our project
is a website that offers over 1000 pages of legal information. We
are recreating the website in 6 other languages. The ability to
create our own templates from our own lists makes JMS an invaluable
tool for quickly reproducing the schema for the other languages.
By using this system, I have created a recipe with step by step
instructions that are thorough, and consistent so I can remember
exactly how I ..."created the Google custom search and implemented
it on our website", or I can hand off the recipe to my assistant
and she can go through each step and all of websites in the other
6 languages will be consistent.
The fact that JMS is online keeps me from having to keep track
of little scraps of paper as well as trying to remember which was
the last computer I was working on and what was the last version
of the spreadsheet I was using. The online aspect allows me to share
the same up-to-date latest version with all of the people involved
in our project.
JuggleMyStuff is pretty
The bonus to JuggleMyStuff is the simple, clean intuitive look of
the JMS website. Because it looks so nice, it really is a treat
to work with it and not drudgery.
The JuggleMyStuff team is responsive
Finally, the JuggleMyStuff team is incredibly responsive. Whenever
I work with software, the more powerful is not always the better.
I am not a techie and I hate spending time trying to figure things
out or surfing the net looking for answers, when I just want to
get on with my work. The JuggleMyStuff team is helpful, and has
always returned my emails within 24 hours. They always email me
back with clear and helpful answers. I have also requested certain
features and they have implemented nearly all of them or explained
why at this time it doesn't fit with their plan. I feel they are
real people who are trying to help at their end.
