Seasonal and project-based teams have to deal with different kinds of issues. Staffing levels change all the time, deadlines are tight, and work has to be done swiftly without losing quality. Older systems that were meant to run smoothly and without problems often can’t keep up. We need platforms that can adjust to meet the needs of diverse teams and projects. Lark lets you do this by integrating smart project management tools with flexible communication. This keeps everyone on the same page and makes sure that even temporary teams get things done.
When work is tied to busy times of year or projects that don’t last long, the pressure to get things done rises. Onboarding should be quick, roles should be clear, and workflows should be able to modify without having to wait a long time to set them up. Strict rules don’t lead to success; flexible processes do. These practices let temporary teams get up to speed quickly, do their jobs successfully, and end their work cleanly while saving what they learned for the next cycle.
Lark Base: capturing project details from day one
Lark Base
For short-term or seasonal projects, it’s really vital to get organized immediately. Lark Base puts all the critical information, such goals, milestones, and tasks, in one location for teams to see. Instead of wasting time coming up with novel ways to do things for each project, teams can use templates to make onboarding quick and easy.
Perspectives that can be changed easily: Using grid, kanban, and dashboard styles, seasonal teams can keep track of their projects in the method that works best for them. Interns might appreciate simple kanban boards, while managers might utilize dashboards to keep an eye on a lot of initiatives at once.
Advanced fields for a lot of context: You may quickly add roles, budgets, and client information to records. This makes it apparent what new or temporary employees need to do straight away and reduces down on the time it takes to train them.
Automations to reduce down on manual work: When statuses change or deadlines are coming up, notifications or task assignments are sent out. This keeps project schedules on track without managers having to watch them all the time.
Templates for quick setup: Seasonal teams can utilize templates to swiftly create tried-and-true procedures for events that happen every year, including holiday promotions or yearly conferences. This saves a lot of time setting things up and makes sure that everything stays the same from year to year.
With these abilities, Lark Base allows you to build up a centralized data hub or an agile CRM app, making it easier to capture and track project data while linking customer insights directly to seasonal workflows.
Lark Approval: making decisions move at speed
Lark Approval
Short-term teams can’t afford to wait for approval. Lark Approval makes sure that every step of the decision-making process, from verifying the budget to signing off on a campaign, goes quickly and as planned.
Custom forms for special needs: Structured forms can be used to collect campaign bids, vendor contracts, or seasonal recruiting requests. This makes it less likely that people will misunderstand each other and have to go back and forth to clear things up.
Automated routing rules: Requests go straight to the right reviewer. For example, marketing approvals go to leadership, contracts go to finance, and HR requests go to managers. This way, no time is wasted sending them by hand.
Notifications on Messenger: Requests show up precisely where teams are working together, which makes it less likely that approvals will be missed in busy inboxes.
Integration with Base: Once the choice is approved, it is quickly put to the project’s record. This enables seasonal teams view all the work that has been done and all the work that still needs to be signed off on.
These parts work together to form an automated workflow that keeps decisions moving. This lets seasonal teams get started on time without any problems.
Lark Calendar: coordinating shifting schedules
Lark Calendar
Seasonal teams usually have to work under tight deadlines, and their availability shifts. Lark Calendar helps teams see and share their schedules more easily.
Shared team calendars: Everyone can see deadlines, campaign launches, and events. This keeps training sessions, marketing launches, and sales pushes from happening at the same time.
Availability views: Managers can see who is available during peak times and give them new tasks to do so that short-term hires don’t get too busy and resources stay balanced.
Alerts and reminders: Alerts go out when important deadlines or seasonal events are coming up, so that no important milestone is missed, even when schedules are tight.
Events that happen over and over: You may plan seasonal events like quarterly campaigns or yearly product releases once and have them happen over and over. This makes it a lot easier to get ready for them.
Lark Sheets: tracking resources in real time

Managing resources carefully is important for seasonal initiatives. Lark Sheets produces spreadsheets that are interactive and work with other people. They update straight away so that everyone is using the same numbers.
Collaboration in real time: Finance, operations, and project teams may all work on the same budget sheet at the same time. This keeps seasonal teams on the same page without having to produce extra files.
Embedded in Docs or Base: You may connect Sheets to planning Docs or project Bases to construct living dashboards where decisions are made based on the most up-to-date facts.
Alerts with conditional formatting: Possible problems like going over budget or not meeting sales goals are highlighted in real time so that teams may fix them before they grow worse.
Scenario modeling: Seasonal managers can make better choices without having to prepare a lot of spreadsheets by using “what-if” predictions, such as adjusting the number of people or the budget for a campaign.
Lark Minutes: turning meetings into lasting records
Lark Minutes
People who work on projects or at certain periods of the year typically have quick alignment meetings. The team will forget about options once they leave if they aren’t written down. Lark Minutes stops this by converting conversations into actions.
Automatic transcription: Meetings are recorded with speaker IDs, so it’s easy for seasonal workers and managers to identify who said what.
AI-generated summaries: AI automatically makes summaries of crucial insights and choices, which helps fast-moving teams stay on the same page.
Getting action items: People get tasks straight away for things they promised to do in meetings, so there is no danger of forgetting to follow up.
Clip sharing for highlights: Teams can share only the most relevant parts of a meeting. This makes it easier for seasonal workers to get up to speed and stay up to date.
