Benefits of Integrating Backlog and Outlook
1. Project management becomes easier!
With automatic task generation, managing multiple projects simultaneously becomes more manageable.
Additionally, you can view a list of tasks added from your email history without switching between different apps like Backlog and Outlook, making it easy to know when each task was added!
2. Efficiency increases!
If emails received in Outlook are directly added as tasks, you can save time by eliminating the need to manually enter tasks on the Backlog page.
This also reduces the chances of forgetting to add tasks!
3. Enables information sharing across the team!
You can quickly grasp which tasks the team is working on from the Outlook email history.
Understanding the progress of projects other than your own makes it easier to comprehend the overall phase the team is in!
This can also facilitate smoother communication.
What can be automated by integrating Backlog and Outlook?
1. Automatically create tasks!
Emails received in Outlook can be directly created as tasks in Backlog.
This saves the effort of translating email content into tasks and manually entering them into Backlog!
Isn't task creation often postponed? Automation can prevent human errors that lurk in the process of checking and entering.
2. Manage task deadlines!
You can set deadlines when automatically generating tasks.
Whether it's a regular task, a high-priority task, or an urgent task, you can automatically set deadlines, allowing you to work on tasks with a time limit in mind!
3. Notify when a task is completed!
When a task is completed, you need to report it to team members by marking it as "completed" in Backlog.
By integrating Backlog and Outlook, you can receive automatic notifications in Outlook when a task is completed.
This eliminates the need to report manually and allows you to grasp the project's progress without checking Backlog!
