1:2.88 chat they're going to be answering those
1:4.56 periodically and then if you want to
1:6.56 hold your questions to the very end or
1:8.96 like i said we're actually going to do a
1:10.24 live q a so
1:13.12 go ahead and share my screen here and we
1:14.88 can
1:15.76 go ahead and get started
1:20.24 let's see
1:22.32 [Music]
1:25.12 okay so probably what drew you in today
1:28.56 for the webinar was the title that we
1:30.72 shared which is managing projects emails
1:33.44 and meetings within microsoft teams so
1:36.40 that's what i'm going to do my best to
1:37.84 explain to you all today
1:43.28 i wanted to give you all a quick look at
1:45.20 what today's agenda is going to look
1:46.96 like just so you know kind of what to
1:48.48 expect first of all i want to share a
1:50.48 quick overview of how priority matrix
1:52.88 supports teams
1:54.40 and really what organizations hope that
1:56.32 priority matrix can do for them
1:59.20 next up i'll give you a high level
2:0.88 overview of simply how priority matrix
2:3.52 integrates with office 365
2:6.24 and really most importantly why that is
2:8.56 critical for your team's implementation
2:11.52 of priority matrix
2:14.00 i want to take a quick look at common
2:16.08 challenges that organizations face
2:17.92 without priority matrix in case those
2:20.08 can kind of resonate with you just to
2:21.68 make sure you know that you understand
2:24.00 that you're in the right place today
2:25.28 watching this priority matrix webinar
2:28.00 and then most importantly what probably
2:29.76 drew a lot of you to the meeting today
2:31.76 is the live demo and actually the q a
2:34.56 that we're going to do at the very end
2:36.80 so that's kind of what we have on our
2:38.16 plate today i hope you're excited and
2:40.08 i'll do my best to kind of keep this
2:41.60 short and be respectful of everybody's
2:43.36 time today
2:46.72 so how does priority matrix actually
2:48.72 support teams and what are some of the
2:51.04 major goals that people come to us
2:52.80 expecting that priority matrix can
2:54.80 support them with
2:57.36 priority matrix is a project management
2:59.84 software designed to help you and your
3:2.32 team keep your priorities aligned
3:5.44 by creating one central location for
3:8.64 team collaboration
3:11.12 priority matrix also supports email
3:13.36 management and helps organizations have
3:15.60 shorter and more effective meetings i
3:18.16 know a lot of us on this webinar today
3:20.40 are probably hopping from one meeting to
3:22.72 the next today and so you know if
3:24.80 anything i know that that is a big a big
3:27.04 problem that people are trying to solve
3:29.44 lastly like i already briefly mentioned
3:31.44 it priority matrix does a great job at
3:33.60 creating just that one central location
3:36.16 where you and your teammates can work
3:37.68 together
3:40.72 so what do the common challenges look
3:42.40 like with organizations who don't use
3:44.56 priority matrix i am lucky enough to
3:47.20 talk to a lot of our first time priority
3:49.52 matrix users and
3:51.60 over the years i mean over the last six
3:53.84 months specifically as we have all
3:55.92 transitioned to working in a more remote
3:58.72 environment these are a lot of
4:1.12 there's a lot of common challenges that
4:2.56 i hear
4:3.68 number one action items that are
4:5.52 discussed in microsoft teams are
4:7.60 unfortunately frequently forgotten about
4:10.48 and that leads to them slipping through
4:12.08 the cracks and missing deadlines and you
4:14.48 know projects not being finished on time
4:17.44 emails go unseen a lot of us can relate
4:19.60 to this maybe we send an email out just
4:21.60 to one person or it's more of a group
4:23.52 email we never hear back
4:25.92 and that's just kind of the end of it
4:27.60 for a lot of emails
4:29.68 organizations oftentimes focus uh
4:32.32 struggle with unfocused and very long
4:34.96 meetings
4:36.08 and in addition to all of this
4:38.08 a lot of people feel like there's just
4:39.52 no easy way to collaborate with those
4:42.24 external people whether it's
4:44.32 a contractor an entire team of people
4:47.76 but luckily priority matrix has been
4:50.00 modified and improved over time to
4:52.24 support these challenges exactly
4:54.96 all while staying within your office 365
4:58.00 applications
5:1.52 so let's take a look at where priority
5:4.00 matrix actually integrates with your
5:6.16 office apps priority matrix will work
5:8.80 seamlessly with your microsoft teams
5:10.72 application
5:12.16 outlook 365
5:14.08 you can now set up your graph connectors
5:16.24 and so much more
5:17.92 however these are some of the big steps
5:20.08 people take to actually get started with
5:22.00 priority matrix is setting up these key
5:24.56 integrations
5:28.96 so a big question that a lot of people
5:30.64 ask is why are office 365 integration so
5:33.84 important for the organization
5:36.64 priority matrix works seamlessly within
5:39.20 your microsoft teams app
5:41.36 which has been said to make it easier to
5:43.28 adopt this solution compared to other
5:45.44 standalone applications
5:47.52 a lot of people who really are not fond
5:49.84 of the idea of installing a whole
5:52.16 separate tool having to learn something
5:54.00 brand new
5:55.28 but if you're using priority matrix
5:57.04 through the team's platform you already
5:58.88 know and trust them this can take away a
6:0.80 lot of the struggle that people face
6:2.48 with implementing a new tool
6:5.68 we've also gotten consistent feedback
6:7.52 from organizations that when priority
6:9.76 matrix does become available
6:11.92 for microsoft teams in outlook
6:14.48 microsoft teams usage actually increases
6:17.52 which is becoming more and more critical
6:19.44 and is on a lot of checklists for
6:22.08 executives in the company as office 365
6:25.28 it continues to grow in popularity
6:29.36 last but definitely not least priority
6:31.52 matrix is super easy for uit to install
6:34.64 at a company-wide level with just a few
6:36.48 clicks
6:37.92 since we do have our microsoft 365
6:40.88 security certification major
6:43.12 organizations can often approve priority
6:45.76 matrix without needing more security
6:47.92 documentation which puts priority matrix
6:50.40 on the fast track to success for your
6:52.72 organization's adoption
6:55.68 in addition to all of these benefits i.t
6:57.76 departments love to leverage additional
6:59.68 security features such as single sign-on
7:1.84 limitations
7:3.28 multi-factor authentication and much
7:5.44 much more
7:7.28 with all of this being said priority
7:9.36 matrix has such a deep rooted
7:11.04 integration with your office 365 tools
7:14.24 it truly is a seamless transition for
7:17.36 your organization to take this the first
7:19.36 steps with using priority matrix
7:24.24 so hopefully that is a kind of a good
7:26.56 introduction to setting the groundwork
7:28.40 of
7:29.12 you know what priority matrix is and
7:30.88 kind of why we're here today and what
7:32.80 we're going to talk about
7:34.32 so now i'm going to transition to
7:36.24 actually giving you all a live demo of
7:38.88 priority matrix which i know for a lot
7:41.28 of us
7:42.24 that's why you guys joined today
7:46.48 all right
7:49.68 so in the next few minutes or
7:52.08 probably realistically more i would say
7:54.08 10 to 15 minutes
7:56.00 i'm going to show you all some of the
7:57.28 best practices
7:58.48 for using priority matrix with your
8:0.64 office 365 applications
8:4.64 so first and foremost to get started
8:6.56 you're going to want to install priority
8:8.32 matrix into your teams
8:10.40 application and within outlook 365.
8:13.68 and these two integrations alone will
8:15.60 actually be a great foundation for you
8:17.92 to start using priority matrix
8:25.28 for those of you who are new to priority
8:27.12 matrix i want you to just keep in mind
8:29.28 that priority matrix is known for its
8:31.60 full-featured project and meeting
8:33.44 management solutions
8:35.44 what this does is it creates value for
8:37.52 users from the executive level to
8:40.08 individual contributors letting all
8:42.08 users find the value that they need
8:44.56 within priority matrix
8:47.20 after you install pm to your team's
8:50.16 application if you look to the left-hand
8:52.08 side of my screen if you right click on
8:54.72 the priority matrix app here we always
8:57.36 suggest that you pin it open so then
8:59.60 it's going to pretty much always be
9:1.12 accessible for you even if you change
9:2.96 the screens it's still going to stay
9:4.64 open there for
9:6.84 you so what we're looking at here in the
9:9.68 center of my screen this is the full
9:11.84 featured priority matrix integration we
9:14.88 essentially took our web app and we just
9:17.76 put it right into teams
9:20.00 i'm going to show you a little bit of
9:21.28 this interface today but i also want you
9:23.92 all to keep in mind
9:25.60 that you're actually able to use
9:27.44 priority matrix through your chats
9:30.16 through your channels
9:31.84 and there's a couple ways that you can
9:33.28 utilize it through your microsoft teams
9:35.68 meeting events as well
9:37.52 so i know for a lot of you these three
9:39.04 places are where you're spending a lot
9:41.04 of your time and
9:42.88 um you know it's great news to hear that
9:44.80 you can actually use priority matrix
9:46.72 there as well
9:48.84 so again like i said today we're going
9:51.84 to focus on looking at the best
9:53.68 practices but just to kind of give you a
9:55.76 lay of the land in case you're brand new
9:57.52 to priority matrix i want to you know
9:59.68 kind of get us on the right path
10:1.68 and make sure that we all kind of have
10:3.20 this base this basic understanding of
10:5.12 how it's used
10:7.04 so
10:7.92 what we're looking at here again this is
10:9.76 the full featured priority matrix
10:11.68 application and
10:13.52 the way that priority matrix creates the
10:16.16 central location for teamwork is by
10:19.20 letting you create projects
10:21.44 so these are all projects that i have
10:23.36 pulled up here and for the sake of the
10:25.60 demo i'm actually going to apply that
10:27.76 project tag so now what we're looking at
10:29.68 is just just a couple of key projects
10:32.00 that i want us to focus on today
10:36.08 within each project this is actually
10:38.40 going to be where you can share these
10:40.16 projects with your teammates and you can
10:42.40 actually collaborate by creating tasks
10:44.88 and
10:45.60 delegating them
10:47.20 setting deadlines communicating sharing
10:49.76 resources
10:51.36 anything that you can really think of
10:53.04 that falls under team collaboration is
10:55.44 going to be able to be done within
10:57.60 priority matrix
11:0.32 for those of you who kind of like what
11:2.16 you're seeing right now and want a
11:3.36 better basic understanding of priority
11:5.44 matrix i want you all to know that next
11:7.36 week i'm hosting two webinars that will
11:9.20 expand on kind of the the groundwork and
11:12.40 getting started with priority matrix but
11:14.40 like i said
11:15.68 today we're going to focus on best
11:17.28 practices and that's kind of what i'm
11:18.88 going to move into right now
11:22.16 so as i mentioned at the very start of
11:24.16 this webinar not only can you use the
11:26.48 full priority matrix integration through
11:28.96 teams
11:30.24 you can actually access priority matrix
11:32.32 through your chat or through those
11:34.48 channels
11:36.24 and so one of the things that i
11:37.76 mentioned
11:38.80 back during my presentation is a common
11:41.28 problem we see with organizations who
11:43.92 are using
11:45.12 microsoft teams is that while it is an
11:48.16 extremely powerful platform for
11:50.24 communicating with each other you can
11:52.32 basically instant message which is great
11:54.40 that's what we all need however the
11:56.72 struggle happens when i send somebody on
11:59.36 my team a chat part of my conversation
12:2.00 and
12:3.04 i mean it's great maybe they respond and
12:4.88 say okay we'll definitely get that done
12:6.64 no problem
12:8.24 but the truth is
12:9.60 it can flip through the cracks and
12:11.68 people share this challenge with me
12:13.36 basically every single day
12:15.84 so what we've done to hopefully make
12:17.84 your life easier and help
12:19.68 you know help help you keep track of
12:21.04 these action items discussed is you can
12:23.36 actually hover over one of these chats
12:26.72 and you can basically immediately
12:29.04 prioritize it into your priority matrix
12:32.96 what these steps look like is you can
12:34.64 actually choose the project where you
12:36.88 need to prioritize this
12:39.04 and most importantly in my opinion is
12:41.04 you can set that due date so even if
12:42.88 something is completely forgotten about
12:44.72 that's okay the system is going to
12:46.08 remind you when you need to circle back
12:48.24 to this
12:51.04 so what this means for your organization
12:54.00 is
12:54.72 less emails
12:56.16 um so you can hopefully get a handle on
12:58.08 your inbox and we'll talk about email
13:0.24 management a little bit more
13:2.00 but essentially less emails going
13:3.68 through and less tasks that are being
13:5.52 forgotten about
13:8.16 so this is definitely a huge use case
13:9.92 for a priority matrix we will circle
13:12.32 back to this chat to this chat view
13:14.48 however where i want to go next is
13:17.12 looking at priority matrix usage through
13:20.24 microsoft teams channels
13:22.80 so
13:23.68 in addition to what we just talked about
13:25.52 which was conversations kind of being
13:27.68 forgotten about not necessarily having a
13:29.84 great way to follow up with them
13:32.00 is another common conversation that
13:34.48 comes up which is
13:36.24 you know as an organization we need to
13:38.32 see
13:39.04 all of our notifications in one central
13:41.68 place
13:42.64 i think what a lot of us can relate to
13:44.64 is
13:45.52 it's just not super useful to have
13:47.28 emails and text messages
13:49.60 and meeting notes and notifications and
13:52.00 updates flying in from all angles
13:54.88 because truly what we need is just this
13:56.64 one place and where we can rest assured
13:59.04 that we're not going to miss any
14:0.32 notifications from our teammates
14:3.04 and
14:4.08 for those of us who do spend a lot of
14:6.08 time working through channels
14:8.56 one of the great features here is you
14:10.32 can actually set up what's called a
14:12.32 priority matrix connector this is a
14:14.48 really good example of it because what
14:16.48 happens
14:17.92 is you can decide
14:19.60 however many projects are relevant to
14:22.00 this specific channel you're working in
14:24.96 you can set up the connector to trigger
14:27.52 notifications
14:29.04 these notifications can be when a new
14:31.04 task is created like this example
14:33.84 it can be from a due date that occurs a
14:35.76 new comment
14:36.96 anything that you guys feel like you
14:38.56 need to see it pretty much immediately
14:41.20 you can definitely get that funnel
14:42.64 directly into your
14:44.40 microsoft teams channels
14:48.88 if you are curious on how you can
14:50.56 actually set up these connectors it's
14:52.16 really straightforward you'll go to that
14:54.32 channel you're going to click on
14:56.08 connectors
14:57.36 and hopefully this will load for me
14:59.92 you will essentially just type in
15:1.60 priority matrix here and then you can
15:3.44 click on configure and it's going to
15:5.20 walk you through a bunch of different
15:6.40 steps to
15:8.24 kind of uh specifically set up the
15:10.32 notifications that you're wanting to see
15:14.08 so kind of jumping to
15:16.00 a different part of the conversation
15:17.68 here is another common question we get
15:20.48 and this actually came up on the
15:22.08 previous webinar is
15:24.24 how does priority matrix for office 365
15:27.36 support collaboration with those outside
15:29.52 of the organization
15:32.00 whether this looks like sharing
15:34.08 an uh collaborative view with other
15:36.16 people or you just simply want to pass
15:38.24 on that timeline just so you're all on
15:39.84 the same page
15:41.12 this is a brilliant common use case for
15:43.28 using priority matrix through teams
15:46.80 so as we looked at before you can
15:48.48 actually add
15:50.72 you can use priority matrix through your
15:52.48 chats here
15:53.68 so what you can do is you can add
15:55.76 project tabs like i have here
15:59.20 and so let's pretend that this chat was
16:1.28 actually with somebody outside of the
16:3.12 organization kind of sticking with the
16:5.04 idea of external
16:6.84 collaboration priority matrix does not
16:9.28 pose any type of boundaries or barriers
16:12.08 when it comes to working across
16:13.52 departments
16:14.88 or even working across organizations
16:17.84 so even if this chat is with somebody
16:19.68 not not in your company you can still
16:22.32 take that step and you can add the
16:24.24 priority matrix project
16:26.40 into your chat
16:28.72 this view here would be an example of
16:30.48 something that's fully collaborative
16:32.16 maybe you want that contractor to
16:33.84 actually work with you share updates and
16:36.48 fully collaborate because that's you
16:38.24 know that's really what priority matrix
16:39.84 is for
16:40.80 this would be a perfect solution for
16:42.48 that
16:43.36 oftentimes i hear a lot of feedback
16:45.60 which is well you know we don't
16:47.12 necessarily want them modifying our
16:49.04 projects it's more so
16:50.96 just needing a way to share what we're
16:52.80 working on and share kind of that that
16:54.88 basic foundational timeline that we have
16:57.28 in place
16:58.80 you can indeed share projects from this
17:1.36 view in just this read-only view which
17:3.20 is what i have here
17:4.80 so we can still click on it we can get
17:6.56 the basics that we need to see the notes
17:9.12 you know the deadlines you even do have
17:11.28 that wonderful gantt chart view but
17:13.52 again you can't edit this
17:15.92 so again this is um a great way to
17:18.32 externally collaborate
17:20.16 you can do the exact same thing through
17:22.96 your microsoft teams channels as well
17:25.92 i have an example added here which
17:28.80 you know in this example that i put
17:30.48 together it would be a really great way
17:33.04 to continue working through your team's
17:35.20 channels
17:36.24 um maybe it's with a couple people from
17:38.56 your organization and also part of let's
17:40.88 say a contracting team
17:42.72 you're going to be able to go in here
17:44.16 provide status updates and continuously
17:46.64 work together in these important
17:48.56 projects
17:49.84 without having to go back to the full
17:51.84 priority matrix
17:53.52 priority matrix application
17:56.64 let's see i'll show you one more view of
17:58.24 what that read only looks like just so
18:0.56 you can kind of get a feel for it again
18:2.16 we can click through it but people
18:3.84 wouldn't be able to edit this
18:6.16 if you're wondering how you can actually
18:8.00 add these projects you would just simply
18:10.32 click on add a tab like you would add
18:12.80 other apps and then you'll see the
18:14.56 priority matrix option
18:16.64 it'll walk you through a couple steps
18:18.00 and then you'll be up and running
18:23.04 so hopefully you're kind of starting to
18:24.88 get a feel of how priority matrix is
18:27.52 used
18:28.40 with your teammates
18:30.32 with those external collaborators
18:31.92 through the chats and through the
18:33.52 channels
18:35.12 but what i really want to focus on now
18:37.12 is kind of transitioning from
18:39.44 working with your teammates to looking
18:42.16 at a really unique view that priority
18:44.00 matrix offers which is more of a person
18:47.12 to person
18:48.80 kind of more more of a person-to-person
18:50.64 specific view here
18:52.64 and
18:53.60 this is called the priority matrix
18:55.36 one-on-one view
18:56.88 for those of you who are watching this
18:58.32 webinar who
18:59.52 you know are probably looking at your
19:1.04 calendar right now and
19:2.96 the rest of your day is booked out with
19:4.48 meetings and you know it's pretty much
19:6.08 that way for the foreseeable future
19:8.72 this view is going to be perfect for you
19:11.36 what happens with the one-on-one is
19:13.60 we're basically creating an automatic
19:15.92 meeting agenda for you
19:17.84 so you'll choose that one person who
19:19.52 you're in the meeting with and what
19:21.60 happens is the system is looking across
19:23.60 all of those shared projects and shared
19:25.76 priorities
19:27.04 and putting together this
19:29.44 basically shared shared priority agenda
19:32.00 view for the two of you to make sure
19:34.16 these meetings are short they're to the
19:36.00 point everything is discussed that needs
19:38.32 to be talked about
19:39.84 and most importantly in my opinion is
19:42.32 you can actually add a shared task
19:44.64 really effortlessly so
19:46.56 we'll just say
19:47.76 new shared task
19:49.60 and then we'll say it's going to be due
19:51.20 friday at 9am
19:54.32 as you can see it's going to be
19:55.92 automatically shared between the two of
19:57.52 us and i'm able to prioritize this into
20:0.08 one of our shared projects and when i
20:2.16 hit add it's really nice you're going to
20:3.52 see this is now added to our shared
20:5.44 priority list so the next week when we
20:7.84 meet this is not going to be forgotten
20:9.52 about it it's kind of right here and
20:10.96 again it's automatically created for me
20:13.28 to look at
20:17.36 and if i scroll down here i also want to
20:19.36 show you that priority matrix is not
20:21.60 limited to just showing you what's in
20:23.68 your projects and we also have such a
20:26.16 deep rooted integration here
20:28.24 that you're going to be able to see all
20:29.76 of your shared emails
20:31.60 upcoming calendar events and and shared
20:34.80 files amongst yourself and this one
20:36.88 other person so hopefully
20:38.88 you need you have everything you need to
20:40.48 have a quick short and effective meeting
20:43.44 right here in front of you without
20:44.56 having to jump to several different
20:46.24 applications
20:49.04 so this of course would be very
20:50.56 person-to-person centric a lot of you
20:53.04 might be wondering well how does
20:55.12 priority matrix actually support us when
20:57.04 it comes to more of a team meeting
20:58.64 because i know that that that's just as
21:0.48 common as having those one-on-one
21:2.08 meetings
21:3.60 so
21:4.64 what we've implemented to support this
21:6.72 is
21:7.68 what's called agenda by priority matrix
21:11.28 so in order to use this feature you're
21:13.28 going to go about creating your team's
21:14.96 meetings as you typically would
21:17.60 you know nothing is going to be
21:18.88 different from the start all you're
21:20.96 going to do
21:22.24 is you're going to add
21:23.76 what's called agenda by priority matrix
21:27.92 so this would be something that you add
21:29.60 as you're kind of setting up your
21:30.80 meeting and preparing for it
21:32.88 and what's going to happen is you can
21:34.72 see pablo's items
21:36.64 you have my items and also other
21:38.56 comments just for kind of notes and
21:40.08 ideas
21:41.60 the system actually automatically put
21:43.60 this together for me based off of
21:45.68 recently modified items and upcoming
21:48.40 deadlines that we both have
21:50.72 so the goal here is to put this meeting
21:52.80 agenda together automatically for you
21:55.68 what's nice is on the right hand side
21:57.36 you're actually going to have access to
21:58.88 all of your priority matrix items
22:1.36 whether you want to search for it or use
22:3.28 a filter
22:5.12 the reason for this is if you need to
22:6.72 add something to your agenda you can
22:8.80 really easily do this
22:10.88 again these are all live priority matrix
22:13.20 items
22:14.24 so if i were to join this meeting and i
22:16.96 was talking about all of these things
22:18.56 with pablo i can actually check them off
22:22.08 it's going to sync back to my priority
22:23.84 matrix and we can create new action
22:26.64 items
22:28.00 so again the goal here is to help people
22:30.08 have
22:30.96 focused meetings
22:32.72 actually actively track those meeting
22:34.96 notes so you don't have to transfer them
22:36.96 from one platform you know maybe to your
22:39.52 next to-do list after the meeting we
22:41.76 want you to be able to get everything
22:43.36 done during the meeting so after the
22:45.12 fact you can get back to work and start
22:47.04 you know focusing on what's important
22:50.48 the last thing i'll share about this is
22:53.28 when the meeting ends you're actually
22:55.12 going to get a follow-up email
22:56.88 automatically that's going to highlight
22:58.64 all of the changes that have happened
23:0.24 during this meeting and all of the
23:1.52 updates so this is going to help you
23:3.60 prepare
23:4.64 execute and track new items all during
23:7.52 your meeting and it's pretty easy i mean
23:9.84 the idea is to save you time and help
23:11.52 you have more effective meetings
23:14.00 and hopefully this will be able to do
23:15.44 that for you
23:18.32 so there's about three more things that
23:20.24 i want to show you all and then we will
23:22.72 open it up for the q a
23:25.68 but one of the biggest things that
23:27.04 people come to me asking is
23:29.20 you know i need help with my inbox i
23:31.12 have
23:32.40 you guys wouldn't believe it sometimes i
23:33.84 see people with like 10 000 unread
23:36.16 emails and
23:37.84 you know the truth is they probably just
23:39.76 haven't found an effective way to manage
23:42.16 their emails and that's
23:44.40 what the the outlook integration
23:46.64 by priority matrix is here to do
23:49.36 so essentially what you'll do is
23:51.52 you can click on these emails that
23:52.96 you're trying to keep track of and
23:55.04 when you open up the priority matrix
23:57.12 integration you'll be able to very
23:59.36 easily take these emails and prioritize
24:2.48 them alongside everything else that
24:4.40 you're working on
24:6.48 to quick quickly walk you through it
24:8.24 you'll pick the project here you can
24:10.48 prioritize it into a quadrant we'll do
24:13.04 quadrant four
24:14.80 again we can pick the due date um i
24:17.04 always say that that's one of the most
24:18.32 important things to do just so the
24:19.76 system can do its job and remind you
24:21.60 when needed and i could even delegate
24:23.76 this to somebody if i wanted to
24:26.88 this is going to be more of kind of that
24:29.36 manual email integration
24:31.52 and email management a lot of people
24:33.60 really like the idea of doing this
24:35.36 however if you're thinking you know i
24:37.68 just have way too many emails i still
24:39.36 don't have time to do this
24:41.12 that's perfectly okay we've worked with
24:42.88 a lot of different types of teams to set
24:44.88 up actually more of an automated process
24:47.60 to
24:48.48 basically take out the step of manually
24:50.32 doing it and just getting these emails
24:52.00 into your projects and prioritize for
24:54.08 you
24:55.04 if that's something you're interested in
24:56.56 doing
24:57.52 um you know let's find a way to connect
24:59.68 it later this week or next week and we
25:1.68 can you know work together to actually
25:3.12 set up that process for you
25:7.28 so with all of this being said i'm going
25:10.00 to go back to microsoft teams and
25:12.88 and i'm going to open up the full
25:15.44 priority matrix application
25:18.24 so what we looked at today
25:20.40 for the past i think it was maybe 15
25:22.72 minutes or so
25:24.32 was it again just different best
25:26.88 practices of people who like to use
25:29.12 priority matrix through their chats and
25:31.76 through their channels or for
25:33.52 meeting management
25:35.28 but in the next few minutes i want to do
25:37.36 my best to kind of tie this together so
25:39.60 you guys can really all see the big
25:41.28 picture of how
25:42.80 all these different best practices work
25:44.56 together
25:46.40 so whether you're using priority matrix
25:48.72 again through the these chats or through
25:50.72 the channels or simply just for meeting
25:52.88 management
25:54.16 there's a couple kind of high level
25:55.92 views that i want people to be aware of
25:58.96 the first one is
26:0.80 the agenda actually within the priority
26:3.04 matrix app
26:5.12 again maybe you're using that feature to
26:7.52 convert conversations into action items
26:10.32 and
26:11.20 you're probably thinking well how do i
26:13.12 see
26:14.08 that high level view of all of my action
26:16.72 items across all of my projects
26:19.12 and the agenda view is going to be
26:20.56 really powerful for this and as you can
26:22.80 see it's showing me what i have to do
26:24.40 today
26:25.76 tomorrow and actually the next seven
26:27.60 days of just what i have on my plate
26:30.00 based off of what i put in my priority
26:32.00 matrix
26:33.20 so this is a great way to start your day
26:35.04 it's honestly kind of like your personal
26:37.20 assistant that's essentially putting
26:39.12 together your daily agenda
26:42.96 for the
26:44.08 managers and executives on this team who
26:47.36 need to kind of have that high level
26:49.20 view of everything that's been assigned
26:51.28 to a teammate you're going to want to
26:53.36 utilize the search view
26:55.60 what happens here is
26:57.44 it's taking all of those different
26:59.36 dozens of projects that you have
27:1.68 and it's putting it together in this one
27:3.84 giant view for you where you can start
27:6.08 to apply filters to find exactly what
27:8.00 you're looking for
27:9.68 so if you're really trying to zoom in
27:11.44 and make sure one of your teammates is
27:13.44 on track with their tasks
27:15.36 this is going to be a really easy
27:17.60 central place to see all of the status
27:19.92 updates and again if you have a question
27:22.72 you can
27:24.32 simply just type it right here you don't
27:25.84 have to go back to your email or
27:27.12 schedule a meeting
27:28.64 we can communicate and we can even
27:31.68 schedule reminders just to make sure
27:33.36 it's not going to slip through the
27:34.56 cracks
27:37.60 the very last thing i want to show you
27:39.76 all before we open this up to the q a is
27:44.00 a really popular view for project
27:46.08 managers and
27:47.76 essentially anybody who's kind of trying
27:49.92 to make sure that the projects go as
27:51.44 planned and stay on track
27:53.44 so i'm going to open up one of these
27:54.80 projects here
27:56.40 again just to kind of recap these would
27:58.16 be all of my action items where i'm
28:0.40 working with my teammates
28:3.04 i'm going to show you a couple different
28:4.64 views up here but most importantly i
28:7.44 want to focus on the gantt chart
28:11.28 so the ganttard of course is very
28:13.52 powerful to give you kind of that bird's
28:15.52 eye overview of the duration of your
28:18.00 project where things may be overlapping
28:20.24 what that timeline kind of looks like
28:22.72 but one of our newest features which
28:25.28 people are honestly kind of ranting and
28:27.52 raving about is the dependencies that
28:29.76 you can now use in the gantt chart
28:32.40 essentially what you'll do is you'll be
28:34.24 able to set up different relationships
28:36.88 and so in this example if i move this
28:39.44 task over to the right
28:41.68 we'll see that these are so closely
28:44.48 related that if one task even moves over
28:47.28 a day a month several months all the
28:49.76 other ones have to be bumped as well
28:51.92 this is a great way to make sure
28:53.92 everything stays on track you know step
28:56.24 one is going to be completed before step
28:58.16 two dependencies are incredibly
29:1.04 important for
29:2.40 effective and project planning
29:6.56 and i also want to add any changes that
29:8.64 you make in the gantt chart are going to
29:11.20 sink back to the
29:13.36 standard matrix view in your projects
29:18.32 so i think that that's what i had
29:20.96 planned for
29:22.88 the presentation today again doing my
29:25.12 best to kind of show you
29:26.80 tips and tricks and best practices
29:30.08 i know that this webinar was a little
29:31.76 bit more advanced so again for those of
29:34.08 you who kind of want to learn the
29:35.92 foundation of getting started with
29:37.44 priority matrix we'll definitely send
29:39.12 you the link to my webinars next week
29:43.28 what we'll do now is
29:45.12 i'm going to go ahead i stopped sharing
29:46.72 my screen but we're all still here
29:50.24 if you guys want to
29:52.40 if you have any questions go ahead and
29:55.44 actually you can raise your hand
29:58.24 within the meeting and then what i'll do
30:0.00 is i'll actually unmute you and then we
30:2.48 can kind of talk about your questions
30:5.12 if you're more comfortable sending it
30:6.64 through the chat that's also perfectly
30:8.56 fine we'll be able to answer them there
30:10.48 for you as well
30:16.32 let's see
30:17.92 looking for questions
30:20.40 a couple other things i'll add right now
30:23.60 while we may be kind of thinking of the
30:25.92 questions is um
30:27.84 we do offer support and onboarding for
30:31.44 our business and enterprise customers so
30:33.84 if you're looking at this and you're
30:35.04 like you know this is
30:36.96 it looks perfect it's going to be
30:38.32 exactly what we need but you know i know
30:41.20 that onboarding new solutions is
30:43.44 it's not easy it's um it's not
30:45.36 everybody's first choice of something to
30:47.12 do but we do offer really hands-on
30:49.52 support and we have a very built out
30:52.72 online resources for you to kind of
30:54.32 watch at your convenience as well so we
30:56.24 will be there to make sure you all get
30:58.32 onboarded effectively and as quickly as
31:0.96 possible
31:5.68 let's see no questions so far i'll check
31:8.64 the chat here to see if any questions
31:11.12 come in
31:12.32 as i said before this meeting
31:14.64 is recorded and so we'll send it out to
31:16.72 you feel free to forward it on to
31:18.80 anybody in your organization who you
31:20.56 think that this would be helpful for
31:32.08 let's see so i did see
31:34.00 one question come in
31:36.00 which is is priority matrix good to use
31:38.24 for a sole practitioner
31:40.24 priority matrix is absolutely super
31:42.48 helpful for um you know just individual
31:46.08 in individuals who need to be using it
31:48.24 it's definitely not only for teams
31:52.00 we have actually on our youtube channel
31:54.24 i have a
31:55.68 presentation that's specifically focused
31:57.84 on how individuals succeed with priority
31:59.92 matrix and a couple of best practices
32:1.60 there so james
32:3.20 i will actually
32:4.88 i'll email that to you and then if you
32:6.56 have any questions you can reach back
32:8.32 out to me
32:12.80 all right well if there's no
32:14.80 questions here i think we can go ahead
32:17.68 and wrap up the webinar today again
32:20.48 thank you all so much for taking the
32:22.72 time to connect with me i know it's a
32:24.88 holiday week and so a lot of you you
32:27.52 know maybe may actually be heading out
32:28.96 of the office right after this so safe
32:31.20 travels happy holidays and i hope to see
32:34.00 you guys reaching out to get this up and
32:36.40 running for the rest of your
32:37.76 organization
32:42.16 oh i see one more question and where are
32:44.40 additional trainings and it looks like
32:46.64 pablo answered that we will um
32:49.52 they're they're all actually going to be
32:51.12 online in
32:52.80 on our youtube channel with our
32:54.32 follow-up email with the survey
32:57.28 we actually can link the youtube channel
32:59.28 for you all and with that being said
33:2.00 if you have just an extra one minute i
33:4.24 personally would love to hear your
33:5.60 feedback on my webinar today
33:7.84 what you liked about it maybe what what
33:10.16 you didn't like so much about it that
33:11.92 feedback is super beneficial for us and
33:14.48 it probably should just take you about
33:16.08 one minute to fill that out
33:19.44 all right i'm gonna go ahead and close
33:21.28 out of this i hope you all have a
33:23.04 wonderful holiday weekend and i hope to
33:25.60 connect with you very soon
