Shared by Aurelia • January 10, 2023

We’re introducing a new, simpler way to navigate in the Popwork app.

Everything now happens in a new left sidebar: quick access to teams, team members and settings. So simple, it’s quite difficult to write more about it…

It’s designed to give you a one-click access to any of your team members. No more switching between teams or between your team member and manager workspaces.

Finally, access to settings has also been made easier, regrouping all account and team settings into a single view.

  • Simply, go Settings > Profile to edit your account details (profile picture, name, email and language preferences).
  • Go to Settings > Team to add or remove team members and manage your team rituals.

This new navigation panel is also available on mobile.

Other improvements:

  • Redesigned blank avatars to help you scan team members faster
  • Added "cmd or ctrl + click" shortcut to open a workspace in a new tab
  • Removed systematic redirection to team Dashboard
  • Fixed rules behind current mood overview in team Dashboard for smarter suggestions
  • Fixed links to comment or check-in answers in email notifications which now point to the right place
  • Set Weekly check-in as default check-in for new team members, even if Monthly step back is due

Improvements
Objectives

Week 3 - Delete an objective 🎯

Quick but important addition - we’ve just added the possibility to Delete an objective. This may be relevant if you like to get rid of an open objective, and not only Close it.

To Delete an objective, go to Select a view > Objectives > Edit > Delete.

Popwork can help you reflect on the progress of your objectives on a monthly basis. By objectives we mean, what you want to achieve in the medium to long term (e.g. next quarter).

If you already have clearly defined objectives, no need to reinvent the wheel: simply copy-paste them into Popwork. In the second half of each month, Popwork will request through the check-in a quick status update for each objective. To share progress, ask for support or raise a red flag.

On a separate note, it’s now also possible select answers if you like to copy and paste content somewhere in or outside Popwork ;)

Improvements

We've made a series of improvements to reduce loading times in Popwork. It should feel more snappy when navigating between different views or profiles.

We've also added a new 'Load more' button, and fixed an issue that was preventing some historical data to load properly.

This should help in this beginning of the year and for the ongoing 2021 reviews.

Action items

Week 1 - Filter on next steps đź‘€

We’ve begun rolling out a new “Next steps” view on Popwork to help managers and team members visualize opened and closed next steps in a single click. Super handy to follow up week on week and make sure an important topic doesn’t fall out of the radar.

This view can be accessed from the top menu in each team member workspace, by choosing the “Next steps” view in the drop-down list.

As a reminder, next steps can be added after a check-in to help managers and team members align on what needs to be followed up upon. Next steps can be assigned at any time and ticked off once completed.
