Last Quarter is Here: Are You Ready to Reset with Quire?

Quire Project Management

Summer has flown by, and we hope you soaked up the sun and made some great memories during those golden hours. Now that you're back in the office after a refreshing break in Capri or Lake Como, it’s time to gear up for the year's final stretch. This is your last big chance to supercharge productivity and hit those annual goals.

We haven’t been slacking off here at Quire—we’ve been busy making some amazing updates over the summer! We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on. Get ready, because some of our latest updates are pretty exciting!

Set Milestones and Track Project Progress

Keeping track of project milestones is now a breeze. Set due dates (and optional start dates) for projects and sublists, visualize deadlines, and monitor progress. Ensure your team stays aligned with timelines, and keep everyone accountable by viewing the entire member list within a project. Your path to project completion has never been clearer.

With these new features, Quire empowers you to streamline your workflow, manage projects more effectively, and achieve your goals more efficiently. We're committed to enhancing your Quire experience, so stay tuned for even more exciting updates. Ready to take your productivity to the next level? Dive in and explore these new features today!

Here's a detailed guide on how to set due dates for your projects and sublists.

Enhance Sublist Members’ Permissions

Project milestones

We’re excited to introduce a fantastic new feature that gives you greater control over who can access your sublists. Instead of limiting sharing to just Project Members and yourself, you can now customize permissions to include only specific individuals within your projects.

This enhancement allows for more precise management of your project's sensitive information. Whether you need to collaborate closely with a select group or keep certain details restricted to a few key stakeholders, this feature ensures that your sublists are shared only with those who need to see them. It's all about giving you the flexibility to tailor access according to your team's unique needs and maintaining a more organized and secure project environment.

Here's a detailed guide on how to set sublist members' permissions.

Integrate with Outlook Add-in

With the Quire Outlook Add-in, managing tasks has never been easier. Now you can create new tasks directly from your inbox—no need to switch over to Quire or manually enter them.

This seamless integration allows you to transform emails into actionable tasks in just a few clicks, streamlining your workflow and keeping you organized without disrupting your current routine. Say goodbye to the hassle of toggling between apps and hello to a more efficient way of handling your tasks right from your Outlook.

Here's a detailed guide on integrating your projects with Outlook.

Google Calendar Two-Way Sync

Project milestones

Did you know? Quire is one of the very few project management platforms, and possibly the first, to offer true Google Calendar Two-Way Sync—completely free of third-party apps! This update allows you to seamlessly sync your tasks and projects directly with Google Calendar, and vice versa, ensuring that your schedules are always up-to-date across both platforms.

The benefit? You can view and manage your tasks from either Quire or Google Calendar, making it easier to stay on top of deadlines and appointments. Whether you're planning a project timeline in Quire or organizing your day in Google Calendar, any changes you make will instantly reflect in both places. This seamless integration helps prevent double bookings, missed tasks, or scheduling conflicts, giving you more control over your time without the need for additional apps or manual updates. Stay organized, stay synced, and stay on top of your goals!

Here's a detailed guide on how to sync your tasks to Google Calendar and get live updates.

Small but Mighty Enhancements for Smoother Workflows

Not every update needs a spotlight, but that doesn’t mean these little improvements should be overlooked. We’ve made some subtle tweaks that might not sound like game-changers, but they’ll definitely make your workflow smoother. Here are some of them:

  • Added a vertical line to highlight task levels in Advanced mode for better clarity.
  • Included an option to enable or disable new tag creation in the tag picker.
  • You can now undo the deletion of a sublist (because we all make mistakes).
  • Copy and paste time inputs with ease.
  • Filter tasks by different tags in the Time Report and Timesheet for better organization.

Oh, and here’s a little humblebrag: our team squashed over 100 bugs this summer! Pretty impressive, right? We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure your project management experience is the best it can be. No need to thank us—just go out there and achieve those big goals!
