13 Sept 2024

Visibility across twelve projects, finally

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Client facing views mean fewer status emails. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

Simple enough that people actually use it

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

Simple enough that people actually use it

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works
