Content planning requires a feeling for the right topics. But good ideas alone and spontaneous writing, photoing or videoing are not enough on their own. In addition to planning the topics, successful content also includes the organized collaborative efforts of the editorial team. In this article we’ll show you an easy way to plan and create content. Trello, a to-do list based on the Kanban principle, enables really dynamic content planning for a team. And with Teamplace, you can connect Trello to any content – from blog articles to videos.
Let’s take a look at our own content planning, which has really proven itself. First, we created the lists in Trello – Selected, In Progress, Ready for Review and Published. Each idea is added to the Selected list as a card giving you a good overview. The content editors grab the corresponding cards or otherwise are assigned them. As soon as you start creating the content, you can move the card to the In Progress list. This way the entire editorial team knows which content will next be completed and by whom. As soon as an author has finished their work, they can move their card to the Ready for Review list.
And this is where Teamplace comes into play. If an editor stores their draft in Teamplace and includes the file link in the Trello card, all participants can access this content. Although Trello has Google Drive integration, which would basically allow content editing, we prefer Teamplace because it’s faster, easier and clearer. It’s a solution designed for teamwork right from the start.
Best of all, both Trello and Teamplace can be used free of charge for content planning. Start as many Teamplaces as you wish, all offering up to 5 GB of storage space! Data storage can then be expanded for a small fee, if needed. However, for most users, 5 GB is more than enough.
