The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. 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

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

Used for 1 to 2 years

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Client facing views mean fewer status emails. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Client facing views mean fewer status emails. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. 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

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Time tracking sits with the tasks, so billing is accurate. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes.

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

Client reporting takes minutes now

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. 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.

Adoption was harder than expected

Half the team lives in it and half still work from email. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. The views are flexible.

What does not

There is no native time tracking. The learning curve for the advanced features is real.
