After more than four years of working on Rise, we’ve made the difficult decision to shut down the company and product. Read our full announcement and story on our blog. risecalendar.com/blog/sunset…

Lovely details that stick 😻

Microsoft 365 is currently facing issues which affects the sync between Rise and Outlook calendars.

Scheduling links got better: → You can now select multiple possible durations for more flexible links → You can now add an optional physical location to a scheduling link

You can now drag to create dependencies between tasks ✨

Next to a bunch of new formatting options we launched recently, you can now also use inline images and attachments in descriptions and comments in Rise

Don't know how you do it, but we can schedule as many notifications as we want but we'll still forget to join the meeting. Auto-join fixes that. One toggle. Zero effort.

In Rise you get to see the local times of your teammates. A feature we don't get to see so often ourselves, but with Daniel exploring Korea we wished we were spread out more 😍

Tired of a slow and clunky project manager? Give Rise a go! Here's a quick look at the features that make managing projects in Rise simple but powerful: → Clean and super fast list, board and timeline views → Seamless integration with calendars and schedules → Powerful filtering that you can adjust for each project

Daily standups: the productivity killer no one talks about. Standups are a really effective way to waste everyones mornings and a great tool to make sure no real work gets done until after lunch. I used to love them (and most managers do, too). Replace standups by a super simple daily note that everyone drops into a shared chat, like Slack. You'll have all the relevant info in one place, and it's a great way to ask follow up questions and celebrate progress. And as an aside: in some specific cases and specifically challenging projects, we actually set up a recurring check in meeting. But those are short term, only with the people working on the project and we schedule them mostly right before or right after lunch to keep those long stretches of time available to the team. What's your excuse to keep doing those daily meetings?
