"Idea trap": brainstorming with online outliner
Speed of data input is critical for a brainstorming session.
If you ever worked in any desktop outliner, you already know how to use Checkvist's keyboard shortcuts: Enter to add a new
task, Shift-Enter - a subtask, Del - delete, F2 or double-click - edit. Switching between the lists? Press ll.
Adding note to an item? Press nn. Easy to remember, easy to use.
Clutter-free interface helps concentrating on a task at hand.
Collaboration: task lists for teams
Concurrent editing, notes, and email notifications make Checkvist a great tool for team work. Create an outline for any complicated meta-task in your project, share it with your team and drill down. Create a test plan and share it with the people who'll be doing the work. Check on their progress, and re-use the plan later with a built-in Copy feature.
Exchange data with other applications through import and export
No vendor lock-in or proprietary data format. Checkvist supports several convenient formats, including plain text (tabs), Atlassian Confluence format (wiki), OPML format (Mac), and HTML format. When exporting, you can include or exclude notes, status, and change details.
Printing, color labels, list numbering
Printed checklist designed for "offline use" will be a great supplement at a meeting. Visualize priority with background and font colors, switch on list numbering to easily reference a task to your peers.
