Getting Started with JustOrg Design

What is JustOrg Design?

Welcome to JustOrg Design (JOD). Your organization is using this platform so that everyone can connect their work to organizational strategy, including your organization's strategic plan or theory of change.

You'll work in spaces called Teams and Tables where your real collaborations happen. Each Team and Table has a dedicated space for planning its body of work.

During meetings, Group Leads capture decisions and commitments as they happen while participants focus on the conversation—much like a well-run Zoom meeting where someone guides the process and everyone else brings their best thinking.

Instead of just tracking tasks, JOD shows who you're collaborating with, where decisions get made, and how what you do activates your organization's strategy. This visibility transforms how teams understand their impact and stay aligned to organizational purpose.

This Help Center is designed for you to get the most out of JustOrg Design—whether you're just getting started, looking for answers to specific questions, or diving deep into how to use particular features.

Conveners

As a Convener, you're responsible for facilitating meetings and helping your Team or Table do its best work. Focus on these resources:

Essential reading:

→ Designing & Facilitating Great Meetings

→ How to Use The Meeting Space

→ Using the Planner to Manage Teams/Tables

Deep dive:

→ Everything in the Decisions and Actions Section

Conveners create the conditions for good decisions by facilitating strategic conversations and capturing agreements as they happen. Your job is making sure the group's collective wisdom gets documented and turned into action.

Where can I see my organization's strategies and priorities?

↑ back to Start Here

Your organization's strategies and priorities are the foundation of how JOD works. Everything you do in the platform connects back to these.

As you work in JOD, you'll become familiar with which strategies your Team or Table primarily activates. This clarity helps everyone understand how their daily work connects to organizational purpose.
