Daily Status developed by our internal team as a way to keep track of what everyone is working on throughout the day. Employees can list that day’s tasks, what they accomplished the previous day, and what challenges they are facing. Other employees on team can see these lists. Also can launch a Hangout right from your team’s Status page.
