Guide your team and work together – however, and wherever you want
Add step-by-step instructions and guide your team and collaborators.
Nova provides a repository where employees can keep these processes and it is also where they get work done on them. New employees can simply load up a previously-built workflow and get started, and old processes can be updated on the fly as your company evolves.
Asynchronous stand-up meetings
With Nova, stand-ups can take place without the need for real-time communication. Nobody needs to jump on a video call or schedule a specific time slot in their calendar to participate and share their status updates.
Organizations often have individual domain knowledge holders who are in charge of mastering the process and communicating that process to the team. Nova helps integrate that knowledge into the same space where people work, and ensure that the knowledge remains once those important individuals leave the company. In addition to employees, this also includes consultants, experts, mentors and facilitators who can make their knowledge accessible to the team inside of Nova, which helps organizations implement expert processes long term.
With clear processes and centralized space for collaboration, teams get work done faster. Organizations and their teams are more agile because they are able to start working following the steps of the process and spending less time coordinating and finding information about work.
Nova reduces the mental anxiety that uncertainty and unclear processes create on teams. Cross-functional and remote teams can use Nova to make decisions, collaborate with the team while having the certainty of how things should be done.
New employees can learn and instantly follow processes and methodologies as they start working. They are guided during the whole process – reducing the amount of time a manager needs to spend explaining processes, requirements and the organization of files.
Without an effective system and collaborative workspace, teams move slowly, miss deadlines, and fail to take advantage of their human capital.
In some cases, teams depend on their managers or consultants to guide their thinking, and for this reason, team members are bombarded with emails and messaging applications asking for status updates, clarification about processes and information about requirements.
This results in inefficiency during this fragile process that can keep the team divided and keep decision making in the sole hands of one individual. This leads to questions going unanswered, and employees spending more time seeking information, looking for examples, responding to messages, or making assumptions, all in an attempt to provide clarity and accountability to their teams. This is particularly true during the ideation and strategic phase where each person has a personal way to think and approach problems. And while no thinking system is wrong or right, without a common thinking process that guides team decisions and actions, teams cannot align and move forward.
At Nova, we want to minimize work about work, reduce chaos and team misalignment and give individuals time back to focus on making the right decision, moving ideas forward and developing the right strategies that make an organization succeed. Teams need an all-in-one solution where teams go to think and make decisions so they can grow their business, build better products and thrive.
Teams today must navigate work that is increasingly cross-functional and distributed, while also making the right decisions and moving quickly to meet objectives. For example, a product launch usually requires coordination across multiple departments—product management, engineering, marketing, sales, and customer support. In some cases these hierarchical processes centralize managers as decision-makers but also as bottlenecks because all the thinking process and requirements depend on their ability to communicate how to meet each objective across teams. Organizations cannot afford to be slowed down by inefficient processes. Individuals and teams need to be empowered to design their own processes, manage their work, change course when needed, and make autonomous decisions aligned with organizational goals to ensure business agility in rapidly changing markets.
