Empowering Team Collaboration with Ease
Comments: Monday.com has transformed how our team collaborates, offering a streamlined and efficient platform that caters to our project management needs. It’s a robust tool that supports our workflows, though it could be improved by enhancing visibility into project contexts directly from the task views.
Pros:
The most impressive aspect of monday.com is its user-friendly interface that significantly enhances our team's ability to collaborate effortlessly on various projects. Its seamless integration and intuitive design make it indispensable for managing our daily tasks and long-term projects alike.
Cons:
One limitation I've encountered with monday.com is the inability to view the full context of a task within the 'My Work' view. It shows the tasks assigned to me, but it doesn't provide visibility into how these tasks fit into the larger project scope, unlike the more comprehensive 'Campaign' view.
A project tracking tool designed to keep the entire team in communication.
Comments:
Monday can be used by the organization's staff with very little training. The different functionalities that Monday has allow for intuitive interaction.
It works very well both in the desktop environment as well as in its mobile APP. And updates to tasks can be immediately viewed by the rest of the coworkers.
We can parameterize the control and execution of activities in a project dynamically with flows that change the status of those activities, that is, we can create workflows without the need for programming, which makes it much more versatile than the rest of the tools that only focus on the completion of tasks in a project.
Pros:
Monday is an extremely versatile tool and its default templates allow us to parameterize a project so that tracking is easy, considering the type of activities we handle, facilitating the tracking of technology, construction, manufacturing, marketing projects, among many others. Another very important feature for me is the ability to quickly access the boards I have recently worked on, as well as my notifications inbox and the workspaces where I update my tasks, all on a single screen, including the ability to invite my coworkers and start collaborating on tasks that need to be executed by other people.
Cons:
Monday is not as flexible when we need to keep track of projects with a large number of coworkers without considering licensing that can affect our budget. We must keep in mind that sometimes we need to incorporate personnel into our project to perform a few tasks and if we want that person to interact with the Monday software tool, we have no choice but to use a license so that they participate in the updates. Monday allows us to import data from different data sources but I personally think that there are other tools on the market that facilitate this type of functionality that we will always require a little better. However, it does its job very well and after becoming familiar with the process, everything flows quickly.
Alternatives Considered:
Monday for creative teams
Comments: The team liked it but I personally wasn't a big fan.
Pros:
I like that it had virtually every set of features our team needed.
Cons:
I couldn't get into the user experience for some reason. Things weren't laid out in an obvious way for me and some of us struggled to adapt it.
Alternatives Considered:
Couldn't Do My Job Without Monday!
Comments: Monday has streamlined our processes and given us a better understanding of each other's workloads, which is essential since our entire department is remote. We can quickly ask questions on specific tasks/projects, attach essential documentation, and collaborate at the touch of a button. For me, it's made life so much easier. I use it to create content calendars, social posts, and manage the various projects between our web development manager and myself. It was a game changer!
Pros:
Monday allows me to organize my various projects and tasks so I can easily see what's due soon or coming up in the pipeline. I can also see team member's workloads to determine availability for new projects/tasks. We can track time on various projects which allows us to give better timelines when setting up new projects/tasks.
Cons:
I don't think there is anything I dislike about using Monday.
Alternatives Considered:
Monday Increases Efficiency and Productivity
Comments: I was very nervous when the team moved to Monday instead of using Google Docs or Google Sheets for tracking. However, the training videos on Monday were very informative and helpful. While I was very nervous in the beginning, the benefits far outweigh the growing pains of the transition.
Pros:
We have utilized Monday for the past nine months and have seen a significant increase in productivity. I work at a mid-sized local non-profit, and our Development and Marketing team has been able to increase efficiency and see tasks as other team members are completing them.
Cons:
It would be wonderful to be able to download the Monday log in a PDF format to save on our internal servers as we complete a full event. The information is no longer needed on Monday but is beneficial to keep in our records.
