Walk me through a specific workflow you've set up or managed in a project management tool like Asana, Trello, or ClickUp. What was the purpose and how did you configure it?

Situation

In my previous role supporting a remote marketing team, we were juggling content requests from multiple departments with no centralized system, leading to missed deadlines and duplicate work.

Task

I needed to design a single intake-to-publishing workflow inside Trello that would let requestors submit briefs, assign writers, track revisions, and notify stakeholders automatically.

Action

I created a dedicated board with lists for 'Incoming Requests', 'Assigned', 'In Progress', 'Under Review', and 'Published'. I built a custom card template with required fields for content type, target keyword, due date, and attached assets. Using Butler automation, I set up rules so that when a card was moved to 'Under Review', the editor was automatically tagged, and when moved to 'Published', the original requestor got a Slack notification. I also color-coded labels to show priority levels.

Result

The team adopted the board, and our missed-deadline rate dropped from about 15% per month to less than 2%. The requestors said they felt more in the loop because they got automatic updates.
