You Ask. We Listen. That’s a Rule.

The top 3 features that you have requested are now here.

Project Templates

Project Templates are easy and useful. You can now choose one of your Rule projects from a list and you’ll be able to create a new project with the same tasks, milestones and a timeline matched up with your new project’s due date. Project templates save time, money and manual labor.

Deal Flow

Now you can easily manage the flow from Contacts to Leads, Leads to Customer and Customer to Projects. So go makes some connections and collaborate with your team in Rule to track and win some deals. Then when that customer flows into a Rule Project and you collaborate with your team and customer to deliver the goods, you’ll get that repeat business and you’ll be Ruling.

Help Center

Now you can learn everything you need to Rule @ help.rule.fm You can also access the Help Center from within Rule by clicking the “?” in the upper-right corner of the application.

Thank you all for your requests. Now we’re off to work on the rest.

We still have his first piece proudly hung where we gather at the table to stretch our team brain, but today is Day 1 of something much bigger… Matty is turning the West wall of the Rule warehouse into his canvas. Here’s a sneak peak at where his genius is headed.

My biggest discovery in 2011 was the rediscovery of why we set out to build a productivity tool. We just wanted to be able to collaborate from anywhere, with anyone about everything in work that matters. Now I can say with confidence, “The more we drink our own kool aid, the better it tastes.” We didn’t just create Rule, we use it every day to get things done with our team.

I realize we have not been a very chatty crew up until now.

There will always be more work, but now that the dust has settled since our official release of Rule, it’s time to start sharing some of what we’ve learned about getting productive. Continue reading →
