In this demonstration, Oliver provides insight into optimising workload allocation, resource management, and enhancing team capacity within monday.com.
Starting on a simple board with a list of project tasks, we can see the need for a more comprehensive view to better understand our team’s capacity. Oliver introduces the workload view feature, which organises team members, timelines, and tasks, offering a centralised approach to managing team workload.

Prioritisation is pivotal to enhancing productivity, and in this video, Oliver guides you through effective strategies to ensure clarity and communication, especially for teams operating on a global scale.
Starting with a practical low-level project management board within monday.com, Oliver highlights the importance of tracking task allocation, status updates, and team details. To address the challenge of prioritisation on a broader scale, Oliver introduces the “Priority” column, which allows teams to assign various levels of criticality to tasks.
He goes on to showcase the implementation of a using a filtered view, demonstrating how you can tailor your task displays to focus specifically on those deemed most critical. This feature not only streamlines task management but also contributes to improved efficiency and collaboration within teams.
The short answer is – easily!
Here, Oliver walks us through the process within monday Sales CRM, starting out in the basic Leads board. From here, you have the capability to select all of your contacts and initiate mass email campaigns seamlessly.
monday.com makes it simple to craft these mass emails – you can opt for the traditional method of composing custom emails, utilise pre-existing templates for convenience, or leverage the cutting-edge AI feature, which dynamically drafts emails tailored to your specific needs.
Once an email campaign is deployed, you can access the ever-handy mass email tracking section. This dedicated section serves as a comprehensive log for all sent emails, providing you with valuable insights into your campaign’s performance. The tracking section offers versatile filters, allowing you to analyse data based on time, specific contact groups, or subject lines. This granular level of detail extends to metrics such as the number of recipients, delivery rates, and the crucial open rate, providing a comprehensive overview of campaign effectiveness.
Effective sales lead management is one of the core principles of any successful business. Luckily, monday Sales CRM makes managing your leads as simple as ever. In this video, Oliver takes us into the revamped user interface for lead overview, with customisable sales cycle stages, allowing you to tailor the CRM to your unique sales processes.

To enhance communication tracking, a dedicated section on the left-hand side of the interface includes an emails and activities widget. This functionality enables you and your team to keep a detailed record of communications with clients and log activities, offering a holistic view of interactions.
