Unify disconnected applications and ideas
How can you bring together various teams, with their individual applications and ideas, in one project to achieve a common goal? The answer is Prysm! Here's an example:
Four teams, seven applications, many ideas...one goal!
You're a product manager at a very agile software company. Your Product Management team is one of four teams working on a very important software release, and the release date is fast approaching. You need to work and interact with the three other teams as you simultaneously advance your deliverables for the software release.
The three other teams are the UX Design team, Software Development team, and Marketing team.
Or is it chaos?
Each of your teams has its own ideas — and different applications to express those ideas and accomplish their tasks. Normal? Yes. Chaotic? You bet! Here are just a few of your cross-team needs:
- The Marketing team needs to provide approved text and graphics to UX for the UX designs, which tends to happen via emails or chat messages that too often get lost or forgotten.
- The UX team uses a wireframing application to create its designs, which Product Management and Software Development need to consume, but those teams don't have the application UX uses.
- To ensure that everyone likes the results, Software Development needs to continually show their progress to UX and Project Management, but the most current progress is often on individual developer's computers.
Prysm to the rescue!
You go to Prysm for web (app.prysm.com) and create a free account. You create a project. (Projects are anything you want to organize, such as planning an event, or getting a software release to market.)
In the project's first workspace, Marketing adds a Microsoft Word doc that includes their approved text. (Workspaces are places where you can store and visually organize your content.) They also add various images in various formats. Marketing and UX have a meeting in this workspace to ensure that UX understands everything Marketing has handed off to them. After the meeting, UX can access all the content in the workspace any time.
Unity emerges
In the second workspace, UX uses a Prysm co-browser to let others view and even interact with the UX design wireframes in their web-based wireframing application.
Software Development creates their own workspace. They download the free Prysm for desktop app, and use it to share their desktops with everyone else in the workspace. This enables Software Development to demo their incremental builds, which are located on their personal computers.
Product Management participates in all of these workspaces by annotating content to show their desired changes. They also create their own workspace where they add a co-browser to display their web-based Microsoft Project tracking tool for them to update and for everyone to monitor project progress.
The goal comes back into focus
As everyone uses your Prysm project, all of your teams are able to unify, regain their focus on the goal, and complete the release of a great software product on time.
Imagine how Prysm could unify your applications and ideas!
That was just a simple example to introduce you to some of what Prysm makes possible. Consider the unique issues that you're facing with too many applications and ideas, and imagine how Prysm can overcome them for you!
