How to Integrate Stormboard Into Your Daily Workflow

The way we work has changed drastically — the new normal is a hybrid of offline and online, and teams are having to adapt to new tools and workflows at a rapid pace. In order to actually get work done, teams need a way to bring all of the work that they used to do in-person, into a digital space. A space that allows for collaboration, communication, and the ability to track progress no matter where your team members are located. A mindset geared towards digital transformation for workflows is a huge advantage to have in an age where more and more businesses are having work done remotely.

Stormboard’s visual digital workspace and robust integrations allow you to streamline your business processes, make data transfer automatic, and never miss anything happening in your workflow. If you’re looking for one simple solution to digitally transforming your business processes, Stormboard is that solution.

Create new, iterate on, and instantly share documents

Working remotely means that having a tool that allows you to share content, collaborate on it during meetings, and document the changes and iterations being done is more important than ever. 

Stormboard’s robust integration with Microsoft ensures you never miss anything happening in your meetings or projects, making exchanging ideas and moving between multiple projects seamless — nothing gets missed, and all of your documentation can be stored and iterated on in one place. 

The Office 365 integration allows you to upload, create new, and co-edit Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents in real-time. You can then create editable, professional reports in Office documents that can be used as meeting minutes, presentations, and more.

Collaborate visually in one digital space 

Everyone absorbs and shares ideas in different ways, and with Stormboard, the options are endless. 

Use the online whiteboard sticky note to sketch out your design or workflow, add content using a text sticky note. Use our integration with Pexels to search for and add images that inspire your project, or the YouTube integration to add videos directly to your board that can be viewed without leaving your Storm (what we call your digital workplace). 

Stormboard is an online interactive whiteboard that also has integrations with Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive, which means that once you connect your account, you will be able to easily share images and files from your drive with your team members to collaborate on all in one place. 

Keep the momentum going

With businesses implementing digital transformation tools, meetings have moved from the boardroom to apps like Microsoft Teams and Slack, making a video call the new in-person Monday morning standup and a quick DM the new water cooler chat. 

If you use Slack to regularly communicate with your team, you can integrate Stormboard into your chats, to receive instant notifications when any changes are made in your Storms, add ideas, create new Storms, and ask for help.

Adding Stormboard to Microsoft Teams allows you to provide quick access to your Storms, or share a Storm, without ever leaving the application by importing them directly to a tab. You are also able to add existing Storms or create new ones right in your Teams workspace. Anyone with access to the channel will be able to view the Storm, add new content, or check in on progress ensuring that planning sessions, agile sprints, daily status updates, and more run seamlessly. You’ll also receive instant notifications when any changes are made in your Storms so you can stay on top of all your tasks in one place.

Make your Agile Planning more agile

It is a huge challenge to execute a project planning session, whether you are in-person or remote. Content has to be shared, discussed, collaborated on, transcribed, and then shared with those that did the planning and their teams and executive teams. The amount of work, and the chance that some of that work will be lost or misinterpreted in the hand-off, is astronomical. This is why it is such a huge advantage to have an interactive online whiteboard for project planning.

Stormboard’s PI Planning integrations with Jira and Azure DevOps allow you to use a single tool for your planning sessions in order to refine your Agile processes without losing touch with your distributed team. With Stormboard’s innovative two-way or bi-directional sync, you can stop wasting time hand writing tasks on sticky notes to do your planning. When your planning session is over, convert your Stormboard sticky notes into the application of your choice with just two clicks — your post-planning transcription days are over — ensuring none of your work is lost or forgotten! 

Automate your workflow 

There are a lot of different apps out there to help with remote collaboration, and chances are you are already using more than you can count. It’s time to start getting those apps working together instead of creating more work for you. 

Stormboard is integrated with Zapier and Microsoft Power Automate so that you can create seamless connections with 1,000+ apps making data transfer automatic so you can focus on your great ideas and not on the technical details. The best part? This all happens in the background — once it’s set, you don’t need to do anything!

If you don’t see the integration that you were looking for, you can create your own, personalized integration with our fully-featured API, or send us a message and let us know what tools you would like to see added to Stormboard.
