Most team management applications expect you and your entire team to register and learn a new system. With Padex, one flat fee lets you keep track of your team and colleagues and all your 1 on 1 meetings without your team having to register.
Mike here, founder of Padex.
In my professional career, I've always struggled with tracking my various 1 on 1 meetings. Whether it's with my manager, product owners, or the growing team I manage.
I kept looking for a system to help me keep track of everything. I started out with various text files in Notepad then moved onto scattered Google docs because I kept losing my notes. Eventually I started looking for a software solution as my team and the number of meetings grew.
While there are a lot of tools out there, a lot of them simply try and do too much or are too invasive. They want me to invite my whole team, take over my calendar, or ask me and my team to learn a new system and charge me by the user. That's a lot to ask for when I'm just looking for a way to track my meetings and notes.
So I did what most of us try and do, which is scratch my own itch. I've been using Padex day-to-day for awhile now and decided to share it with others looking for a similar solution. With Padex, you can ditch the random notepad files or scattered google docs and easily keep track of your meetings in one place.
The software is versatile in that you can add your whole team, or people you frequently work with. Whether you're the one holding the meeting or you want to keep track of meetings you're a part of, you can easily start tracking action items and notes for any type of meeting you have.
If you're a new, or growing manager, it can also be difficult to start the process of doing 1 on 1's with your team. What do you talk about? What kind of questions do you ask? What about a new team member? We have some preset agenda templates to help you get started, which you can tweak and customize as you get more comfortable, learn your team and define your own style.
I'm excited to know what you think!
Congrats on the launch! I like the simplicity and will definitely try it. A have a few questions:
1) How do you protect the data?
2) Is it stored in the cloud or on my personal browser storage?
@bogomep Thanks for the feedback! The data is encrypted at rest, and stored in the cloud. The data is your data, and belongs to you and won't be used for any marketing or data mining or anything like that.
