“Every business is a software business.” Those words were first said by software-quality pioneer Watts Humphrey well over a decade ago. At the time it was a bold statement. Today, it’s table stakes. No matter your industry, you likely use or produce some combination of interactive websites, mobile apps, digitized services, software-enabled products, and even branded software applications across your business operations.

You’ve got a fresh cup of coffee on your desk, and you’re ready to dig into some focused work time. But before you can kick things off, you get a ping on your desktop. Then that little red number on your Mattermost desktop app crawls up and up and up. A question to answer on one thread, responses to read on another, a video to watch somewhere else… Before you know it, your coffee is cold, and you haven’t even started on the project you intended to work on.
Whether you’re working on a small feature or a large cross-team initiative, you’ll need a way to track tasks and keep everyone up-to-date. Managing projects on spreadsheets isn’t optimal for most teams, and specialized project management tools may lack flexibility and robust communication options. With Mattermost Boards, you can create fully customizable boards to fit your project needs.

Organizations globally have been keeping a close eye on the economy — and some conflicting economic signals. The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world continue to raise interest rates even though inflation has begun to ease. Major brands are also trimming staff even though demand for talent continues to boost wages. During periods of economic uncertainty, smart enterprises look for ways to optimize productivity and return on investment (ROI).
