    This video is a game-changer for project management! The automation tips you shared, especially using Smart Suite and Zapier, are incredibly useful. I love how automating routine tasks can free up time for more creative work. Do you have any more advanced automation tips for seasoned project managers?

    Hey Layla, I always watch your vids. Can you create one centered around onboarding or handing automations over to other people? Been in 4 companies and this issue always comes up. Someone sets up an automation and it's all good until a process needs to be changed, a new tool needs to be used, or a new member is coming in. Somehow, the automations overlap, creates loops, or just gets broken. And when you have a lot (some that you didn't setup), then you're not sure anymore which ones are load-bearing. For example, we have a design board for design folks and a copy board. Tasks get sent to them thru forms. But different people setup different forms and automations for them. Now, whenever someons needs a copy, they also end up creating a design task even when it's not needed.

    Hey Roberto! Great suggestion. I can see why this could cause some chaos! I'm going to add this to our ideas list for future videos.

    Hi @martinfarrow2825! I wouldn't say one is easier than another, it depends on what you are needing the software to do for you and your business. I'd suggest checking out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/gIuDpcexm9Grcc4.html

    Hey there, like what Layla said it depends but I find that if I'm only gonna deal with tasks then Asana is enough. However, if you're gonna use it as a database and have other types of entries there not just tasks, then maybe look at other tools. :)

    What are your favorite “status” examples? Backlog, processing and complete

    My biggest hang up is I would love to use Status, BUT when I hit complete it repopulates the record which I can’t wrap my head around because I’m a one woman show and I just want to “hide” completed records…

    I prefer to keep it simple! I used to stick with a binary To Do / Complete but these days To Do / In Progress / Blocked / Complete is my current favorite. :)

    Emailing in your TMS, ERM or CRM is not really automating. This is kinda handy but not really automating. It's like templating plans, handy but not really automating. Zapier integration is good... my ops manager won't let me play with any automating, neither power automate or built in HubSpot automation. 😢
