Этапы работы команды для достижения результатов
- Stage 1. Analysing Current Issues and Setting Goals
Identified pain points:
18 Trello boards + 250+ Evernote pages → chaos and inefficiency
No project-to-project synchronisation
No visibility into team workload
Lengthy onboarding process (2.5 months)
Defined 6 key objectives:
Migrate all data into a single centralised database
Automate reporting
Implement transparent workload tracking
Accelerate employee onboarding
Create a personal client portal
Standardise core processes
Stage 2. Selecting the Tool and Implementation Strategy
Why Notion?
Flexibility (databases, templates, integrations)
A single workspace for tasks, wiki, and reporting
Customisable to suit both GTD and Agile methodologies
Implementation Strategy:
Gradual migration (phased transition without abrupt abandonment of legacy tools)
Running Trello and Notion in parallel during the initial phase
Stage 3. Building the Structure in Notion
Step 1. Creating the Hierarchy
3-level structure: Clients → Projects → Tasks (Epic/Task)
- Templates for new projects (time-saving and consistent setup)
Step 2. Developing GTD Dashboards for Team Members
- Task filtering by:
Day/week
Priority/urgency
Overdue deadlines
Meeting calendar
Implementation of productivity principles:
Getting Things Done (clearing mental clutter and improving focus)
- Inbox Zero (reducing distractions and maintaining a clear workflow)
Step 3. Automating Reporting
- Management dashboards featuring:
Time tracking across tasks
Workload forecasting
Automated departmental reports
Step 4. Creating a Personal Client Portal
- Secure client access to:
Progress reports
Payment schedules
Project documentation
Stage 4. Team Training and Adaptation
Challenges:
Resistance to change
Double workload (managing tasks in both Trello and Notion)
Lack of understanding of GTD methodology
Solutions:
Internal workshops and hands-on training sessions
Ready-to-use templates and step-by-step guides
Gradual phasing out of legacy tools
Stage 5. Launch and Optimisation
Full transition to Notion completed within 2 months
- System refinements based on team feedback:
Simplified navigation
Added in-app guidance and tooltips
Configured custom permission levels and access rights
Results of the Transition to Notion
Within three months, we replaced 18 separate boards and over 250 pages with a single, unified Notion system. The result: significantly less chaos, greater transparency, and a doubling of team efficiency.
