Easiest way to create on call shift schedules in SlackCreate rotation schedules, share team responsibilities, setup recurring reminders, schedule overrides, and moreImportant messages can easily be overlooked in the fast paced environment Slack provides. Burnout can occur as well with urgent notifications overload from @channel or @here. Sharing responsibilities across team members can ensure attention is provided where needed, reduce distractions and chaos, and avoid burnout.
Over 100 teams like Washington Post, Everpress, and Sharper Shape have used Tellspin to share responsibilities and we're just getting started!
Tellspin is a rotation schedule management service directly in Slack. It uses Slack's built-in user groups / @mentions making it easy to remember who to contact. Start automating team responsibilities such as (but not limited to):
•
@support-assistant: assign a go-to person to help with support for the day
•
@developer-on-call: protect against team wide distractions by only contacting your team contact
•
@it-requests: handle IT requests across team members to provide prompt responses
•
@peer-review: delegate who performs the mundane tasks on a schedule
•
@meeting-host: rotate who creates the agenda, finds a room, or grabs the snacks
•
@scrum-master: change who is in charge of recurring stand ups.
