Use cases

Here are some examples of how Kappr is used:

Web designer: You are a web designer and work for many clients at a time. You work with the graphics designer within your company and external programmers. With Kappr, you create one Kappr project for each of your projects. For each project, Kappr automatically creates some task lists to which you can assign due dates (Beta testing: 15 June 2009). During the project, you had tasks to the lists which are then completed by you or another team member.After you created a project, you add your customer and team members to the project. You communicate via Kappr’s e-mail function (mailing list) and share files in the Files section (e.g. screen captures of the current version). After the project is completed, you can upload the product documentation to the files area.

Media companies: You have a mid-size TV company. You produce everything from news to documentaries. Depending on the situation, you work just with your own people or also with external camera operators and assistants as well as with external editors and graphic designers in the post production. Additionally, you have an external narrator who you use for some projects and who lives in another city. You have to rely on a robust communication with your client and all team members. Kappr’s e-mail tab helps you to keep track of all instructions/requirements from your client. Each new team member also has access to the complete past communication within the project.
The edited version is ready and has to be sent to your external narrator. Use Kappr to send the video to your narrator (large files are no problem for Kappr). In turn, the narrator can send back his audio file through Kappr as well. Once finished, use Kappr’s files section to send it to your client for approval.

School and Uni projects: Team work is more and more important. Kappr improves communication and adds structure through common task lists and due dates to a project. Using the Files tab, all team members have access to the same information. In addition, all prepared documents (report, presentation, etc.)  should be uploaded to Kappr’s files section for backup.
