The Challenge
Your management team needs to understand who’s working on what and how projects are progressing across the organization. However, getting this visibility requires manual effort and constant interruption:
- Fragmented information - Task data is scattered across multiple plans and team members
- Manual status gathering - Managers must individually check Planner or interrupt team members for updates
- Delayed decision-making - Lack of real-time visibility prevents timely resource allocation and priority adjustments
- No unified view - No single dashboard shows task assignments, progress, and workload distribution
- Time-consuming reporting - Creating status reports requires hours of manual data collection and compilation
The Autohive Solution
Autohive provides instant, comprehensive visibility into your organization’s task landscape by automatically retrieving and organizing Planner data. Your workflows pull current assignments, progress states, and task details—then transform this raw data into dashboards, reports, and notifications.
Automated Task Retrieval by Team Member
Query any team member’s assigned tasks instantly, seeing their complete workload, progress status, and upcoming deadlines without manual checking.
Plan and Bucket-Level Visibility
Access all tasks within specific plans or buckets, providing project-level and phase-level insights into what’s in progress, what’s completed, and what’s upcoming.
Detailed Task Intelligence
Retrieve comprehensive task information including checklists, progress states, assignments, and completion status—enabling data-driven decision-making.
