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. 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

Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. Client facing views mean fewer status emails.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

Time tracking in the same tool changed our billing

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. 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

Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. Time tracking sits with the tasks, so billing is accurate. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking. Time tracking sits with the tasks, so billing is accurate.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

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. 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.
