:wave: RosterBird is an application for Slack that enables you to assign responsibilities, manage rotations and take turns within your team.With automated assigning, notifications, and built-in availability management you get fair and accurate turn assignment of the responsibility among your team.:telephone: The old way:
Set up a spreadsheet or a shared calendar and manually add each member of your team to a round-robin. On the day of their assignment, remind the assignee manually. When there’s a holiday, or the person responsible is off for the day, swap the assignment manually and communicate the changes. When you want to get the assignee for the task, contact the organizer, verify the spreadsheet/calendar and get the assignee.:sparkles: The RosterBird way:
