:wave: RosterBird is a Slack application 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:Setup a spreadsheet or a shared calendar and manually add each member of your team in round-robin. On the day of their assignment, remind the assignee manually. When there’s 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:Import your team members from Slack, setup your roster, add your squad and notification time and Voilà! Your assignee will be notified automatically when their turn is up and you can get the assignee anytime with just one command within slack.
