Good tool. Poor UX.
I really wanted to like this tool. It's exactly what I have been looking for. However, the user experience is unnecessarily difficult for reasons I can't understand.For example, when adding some detail and you change your mind, you can't simply click go back. You are stuck. Why can't I create tasks without connecting them to procedures. Why can't I add a direct report like EA to the CEO without creating a department? The experience is too rigid. And it's the little things. I hope they fix these tiny issues. This could be a great tool.

May 9, 2024Hey Abraham!
Thank you for really *wanting* to like the tool! Haha
Let me please ask you 3 simple questions, if I may:
1. For how many have you been in business?
2. For how many years do you know you should have systems and processes in your business, that everyone follows to maintain consistency every time?
3. Have you ever managed to have your entire business run on the EXACT processes you want it to?
Abraham, we’ve literally worked with over 300 companies, of all sizes, in 19 different sectors. And we can tell you, that the ONLY way people follow process, every single time, is via forcing mechanisms!
You’ve been delegating ad-hoc tasks your entire career. Has that ever gotten you any closer to creating streamlined procedures in your business? Of course not!
You only got closer to creating more order in your team when you said:
No, I'm not just delegating a task. I'm writing guidance for HOW TO DO the task, and THEN I will delegate it.
No business leader should ever delegate tasks without clear written procedures and guidelines associated with those tasks.
What to delegate a task? Assign a procedure.
No procedure yet? Create one.
And guess what, in Alvanda, you can create one in 10 minutes! And that's it! You can then use that procedure for years!
At the same time, there are many ways you can make Alvanda work for you. And I’d love to show you exactly how!
Just please email support@alvanda.com, and request a call with Robert, and I will *personally* show you around!
And if there are things that we both agree would be useful to change, I’ll get the team on them right away! :)
