Before using Priority Matrix, Juan managed his daily tasks using Microsoft OneNote, but he and his team faced difficulties in:

Creating a “Department Hot Items” list for each of his managers
Managing site tune-up for new stores
Keeping track of meetings with notes and checklists
Sharing projects with vendors to add transparency and visibility
Use Priority Matrix’s Gantt chart to show progress during weekly reports to his CEO and COO

Trusted by industry leaders

Share responsibilities intelligently so you can focus on the bigger vision. We’re helping companies gain more transparency, accountability, traceability, and efficiency.

Security

Priority Matrix is the single most used application because of its power and flexibility to both organize and track large volumes of activities and tasks. It has powerful functionality in a simple package that actually reduces the effort required, and unlike other applications, doesn’t require tedious interaction that takes away from actual execution. I love the fact that all tasks put into using PM can easily be communicated and shared with colleagues and clients through a variety of flexible methods. It’s effective all the way through.

Software services

We use Priority Matrix on a daily basis. As a small and quickly growing company, our team members are wearing many hats and often pulled in several different directions. Shared projects bring transparency to everyone’s weekly priorities and have eliminated the “last in, first priority” issue with emails. Personal projects help us break down day-to-day tasks, so we’re always focusing on only the most important goals for the day.

Education

A very useful tool for team meetings when we discuss progress on tasks – the ability for anyone in the team to update and sync with all others in real time, is great. I use it to generate quarterly performance reports to the senior exec and the evidence of tasks completed is also used in performance management discussions with individual members of the team. It’s a more elegant and efficient way to manage work flows.
