How do you use Manymoon?
Major Paul S. Cianciolo, CAP
We are using Manymoon to serve as an interactive public relations plan for Civil Air Patrol’s National Capital Wing. CAP is a nonprofit organization operationally comprised of 52 wings — each state, Puerto Rico and the D.C. metro area.
Instead of an annual plan on paper done once a year, I now develop it in Manymoon so it’s immediately updated as tasks or goals are accomplished. I can also share tasks with other volunteer officers to help accomplish an objective. Being able to set milestones, which I consider my objectives, is a great help. But just the simple tasks assigned to a project and person are helpful. We are all volunteers and spreading the work out helps get the mission accomplished faster.
How has Manymoon helped you overcome specific challenges?
Prior to Manymoon, I was not using any program except for the Google Calendar tasks. I did consider uploading DotProject to our server, but it seemed too complicated for most our other volunteer officers.
A written PR plan is required every year but always gets in the way of actually doing the job. By adding my PR objectives as Manymoon milestones and assigning tasks to each, I can see the results as each is accomplished. It prevents the “plan” from collecting dust on the shelf.
What are some of the results or business improvements you’ve seen since using Manymoon?
Using Manymoon helps the team stay focused on objectives.
Creating an annual public relations plan is a new requirement requested by our national headquarters. The goal is to help plan out what to accomplish during the year by setting objectives and goals. However, once this plan was done, it would sit on a shelf until the next year. Now I can add, and modify as needed and see my progress throughout the year. Manymoon was just made available to most of our staff officers and cadets. We also hope this will also improve our local event and project planning.
