How To

Project Management for Humans – not Robots

We invited Andy Wright, ex-studio owner and Managing Director of Streamtime, to chat with Danielle and myself about how and why we’ve designed Streamtime for humans – not robots.

Streamtime’s redesign incorporated some philosophical changes, which are rooted in the importance of the human for creativity, and an awareness that technology can sometimes cause us to feel less human. So, by design, we aim to encourage a studio culture of empowerment and autonomy towards team members through Streamtime. All this, whilst having a bit of fun in the process.

In our conversation, Danielle, Andy and I explore these ideas of what we want to achieve in Streamtime, taking a close look at how this is facilitated within the product.

As always we want to hear from you, so please get in touch at @streamtime on Twitter or Instagram. Or, shoot us a message within the app or on email help@streamtime.net.

Until next time.

Paddy helps people use Streamtime effectively. In Rainbows was his favourite Radiohead album at the time of writing, but that’s probably changed by now.
