What does our Barduck.online help solve?
Teams often use different platforms to manage tasks, communicate, and store files. For example, tasks can be managed in one application, communication can take place through another, and documents can be stored on various cloud services. This fragmentation leads to the need to constantly switch between systems, which takes time and increases the risk of losing important information. In our country, all this is in a single centralized Barduck.online system
When multiple communication channels are used (email, messengers, video conferencing), information is easily lost or scattered across different platforms. This can lead to misunderstandings between team members, missing out on important project details and, as a result, delays in completing tasks. For us, each task is a unique thread that is equipped with both a group chat for participants and a tracking status system, notifications, reminders, and much more that was added as the project developed.
Managing documentation using various cloud storages and local servers can be a real challenge. An example would be when you urgently need access to a specific project file, but it is not clear exactly where it is stored, or the document version is out of date because it was uploaded to different platforms by different employees. We also have an integrated system of current turnover, which, according to an already developed material pattern, forms an exchange tree, making it convenient for any team member to find the required materials.
In our team, we understand the importance of team spirit and maintaining a high level of motivation to establish effective and harmonious relationships between colleagues. The search for a universal system for managing motivation and building healthy communications on the Internet did not bring the desired results. So, by combining the efforts and inspiration of our team, we decided to create our own tools that would meet our needs.
Let us tell you in more detail...
Most likely, we should start with an example of an archi structure for the formation of a logical chain — verticals, projects, files, threads. Our company has increased multitasking, which requires a certain order in controlling the processes that are taking place. We divide each area into verticals, which can be called projects. The uniqueness is that a project may include several more products or projects. A vertical is like a spatial cloud that can include projects and products.
The Scalemap module in Barduck.online is an innovative tool designed to visualize and manage projects and tasks at the macro level. This module allows users to get a broad overview of all current projects and their status, facilitating the process of planning, analyzing and optimizing the workflow.
Scalemap is a dynamic map that shows each project and task as separate elements. This allows users to quickly assess workload, resource allocation, and priorities at all levels of management.
Scalemap allows you to track the status of projects and tasks, visually highlighting them in different colors depending on the current state (for example, in progress, on pause, completed). This makes it easier to monitor progress and identify potential problem areas.
Using Scalemap, users can effectively plan new projects and analyze the progress of current ones. A visual overview of all projects contributes to more thoughtful decisions when allocating resources and setting priorities.
The module offers flexible settings for personalizing the map display, including choosing the level of detail, filtering by various parameters (for example, by departments, deadlines or priorities), and adjusting the type of items on the map.
It is important that it is very convenient for heads of departments who are engaged in delegation. Each task/thread can be determined by its level of importance and how urgently it needs to be completed, which speeds up the process of thinking about making a decision, and also improves the effectiveness of communication within the team.
Each file in the system has a tree-like hierarchy that is structured according to goal setting and step-by-step structure from goal to action. Thus, with the help of modern technologies, we form a team, goals, and generate the required actions in one click to achieve our goals. All this is done through integration with AI. The manager only has to make the attached decisions to achieve the goals, determine their importance, and release them from this module to the work threads that require implementation by team members.
Quite a few interesting and convenient features are implemented in this module. The manager can filter out goals — actions, by status. Watch active, inactive, hypothetical, or purified output formats for analysis.
Graph module
The graphing module in Barduck.online is a powerful analytics and visualization tool that allows users to visually track the progress of tasks and projects, as well as analyze the team's workload and efficiency.

The main graph allows us to see the number of threads created, the number of threads completed by day, by project, and most importantly, it is integrated with AI, which generates its own report on the progress of processes, with an emphasis on improving or deteriorating production dynamics in a particular project/product.

Chronograph
Using the Chronograph at Barduck.online is transformed into a powerful tool for comprehensive tracking of personal time, covering all aspects of a user's life — from sleep and nutrition to personal development, emotional management and creativity. The goal of this approach is to create a balanced life schedule that contributes not only to professional growth, but also to personal well-being. Let's look at an example.
# Situation
Pavel, a software developer, faces the challenge of managing his time. His work takes up most of his day, leaving little time for rest, sleep, personal development and hobbies. Pavel feels his life is getting monotonous and he wants to change that by finding a work-life balance.
# Solution
Pavel starts using the Chronograph to track time spent on various activities. It establishes categories like Sleep, Nutrition, Work, Personal Development, Creativity, and Leisure, and begins recording the time spent on each one.
# The process
Activity recording: Every day, Pavel records the time spent on various activities, using the Chronograph for accurate accounting.
Analysis and refactoring: After a week, Pavel analyzes the collected data, determining which areas of life need more attention and how time allocation can be improved to achieve balance.
Schedule adjustment: Based on the analysis, Pavel adjusts his daily and weekly plan, devoting more time to activities that promote refactoring. He determines that he devotes little time to rest and entertainment, and gradually incorporates this into his schedule.

Thanks to Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad for dividing people into four categories based on their approach to earning money and managing finances:
Employees are people who work for someone, usually have a permanent job and receive a salary. They depend on their employer and often seek career growth within the company.
Self-employed people are self-employed people, such as freelancers or small business owners. They manage their own time and income, but they are also fully responsible for their business.
Big business owners manage companies with more than 500 employees. They focus on strategic development and the delegation of responsibilities, seeking to expand their business and increase profits.
Investors — invest in stocks, real estate, or other assets to generate passive income. They use their knowledge and market analysis to make financial decisions and increase their capital.
Use cases
Using Environment Tracking in Barduck.online allows users not only to understand how different types of interactions affect their lives and work, but also to take meaningful steps to improve the quality of these interactions, optimize time and build a more harmonious and productive environment.
Decide on the fly!

Lowen argues that modern people often lose this healthy aggression, which leads to a decrease in vitality, lethargy and lack of initiative.
