Task Management for Remote Teams
Task Management for Remote Teams
We have started beta testing Kerika for mobile devices
We have enough of our new mobile version built that we have started doing beta tests with a handful of users from around the world. Initial feedback has been very positive.
We expect to stay in beta mode for another few weeks and then make the mobile version available to all our users.
There will be no app to install: you will be able to use your Safari, Chrome or Firefox browser on your phone.

Try to help the Government, get slapped.
Kerika has been a sponsor of the Lean Transformation Conference every year, since the very first conference. In addition to contributing sponsor fees, our founder and CEO, Arun Kumar, has given a presentation each year, on different topics related to the conference.
At the last conference (in October 2019), Arun gave a talk on Virtual Teams: what’s different about a virtual team vs. a traditional collocated team, and how a virtual team can be very successful if it adopts the right processes and tools. A total of 117 people attended, and 55% of them rated the presentation as “Very Useful” or “Extremely Useful”.
Kerika also paid for a professional videographer to film the presentation so it could be made available online for others.
The topic of Virtual Teams is particularly important today because the Covid-19 virus has hit the state of Washington hardest (in the US), and everyone, including the government employees are scrambling to adjust to telework.
You might think that the video would be particularly helpful to the state right now, since it covered precisely those topics that the state (and much of the world) is grappling with today:

Imagine our surprise then to receive, out of the blue, this takedown notice:

So the video is gone. A small business tried to help the state of Washington, but won’t try again.
