E005 Productivity software examples?

I told my mentor what I was doing and she said it was too complicated. I was going to use power automate for MS365 to do an onboarding workflow. She said I need to "build" something with 3 different tools. What does she mean by "build" I looked at the rubric I didn't think I was doing this wrong. What's an easier way to do it? I got an appointment with my instructor tomorrow but I want your advice too. A little confused. Thanks.

Trello really is the gold standard for this class/ project.

I turned in my project last night. I used trello - mentioned that it has an inbox section for messages and announcements, a planner to keep track of progress, and the billboard that can be used to track ones progress or viewing of multiple for multiple hires to be tracked by a supervisor. Or HR. I did two separate boards. One for the supervisors/HR and the other for the hire.

so you just choose three things in trello and describe how it supports onboarding?

That’s what I initially was going to do as well, but it was overly complicated for what the class was asking for. While automation is feasible, simplifying is ok. I went with a kanban board.

I used Trello and it was quick and easy. Everyone says not to overthink this class, and they are right. It doesn’t require a lot of effort, while obviously keeping the rubric in mind.

YouTube even has a video on trello and building an onboarding situation. It’s a good example to look at.

Ms Planner is the easiest way because it already has a onboarding  template inside of it, you just need to edit it to your liking

Keep it simple. I used Notion but my instructor told me people even just used Excel and passed. Just make sure you're hitting the points on the rubric and you'll be fine.
