Nudging the team about late jobs
Today

Overdue tasks in Kanban Tool are grouped by person, and a friendly nudge is drafted for each one, naming the job and asking for a new date if they need it.
What you stop doing: Writing the awkward chaser to each person is no longer yours to do.
Making weekly checklists repeat
Today
Opening checks, cleaning rotas and Friday stock counts get recreated by hand in Kanban Tool each week. When you are busy, the list simply does not appear, and neither does the cleaning.
With Flann
“Make the closing checklist a repeating task in Kanban Tool, weekdays, assigned to Jordan.”
Each step of the checklist becomes a sub-task in Kanban Tool, set to repeat on weekdays.
What you stop doing: Recreating the same checklist every week is not something you do any more.
