    For solo projects, a Markdown checklist works fine. For small collaborations, it's whatever we're all comfortable with—but Figjam is a nice way to organize ad-hoc calendars and keep track of notes & tasks.

    I have tried quite some them, ex. Closeup, notion, jira, trello. But nthg beats Asana for me. Its just simple to use and I dont get lost in random features.

    It kind of depends on the tasks. If I'm overseeing my development team, Jira works best for that. For managing tasks across other departments I use Asana. Straightforward and easy to use, kind of like the interface too.

    @tjlarkin why don't you use Jira across all departments?

    I’d go with Jira. After using it for a few months in Marketing, I’ve grown to love how seamlessly it integrates with Slack. Plus, since we’re already using the Confluence infrastructure, Jira is the perfect addition to our workflow.

    If I had to choose just one tool, it would be Notion. Most traditional project management tools, like Jira, Linear, Trello or Asana, focus heavily on action lists and often have outdated interfaces. They’re also mainly designed with project managers in mind, which can make it challenging for the entire team to fully engage. >> For a decade, I've never seen an organisation where PM, Sales and CSM where on the same project tool. And when we were close to achieve that goal, C-Level were not engage on it. They were always a piece of the puzzle missing. Seat-based pricing is another obstacle—it limits inclusivity and hinders our ability to bring all stakeholders together on a single platform for true alignment. Notion, on the other hand, redefined the space by allowing a more flexible, collaborative workspace that’s accessible to everyone involved. Slack, while innovative in its own way, has tried to add project and document management, but I feel this doesn’t play to its strengths. Rather than layering on these features, I think a chat-based approach with project-oriented features would better serve teams looking for streamlined communication. For now, Notion strikes the best balance, providing both flexibility and simplicity. It’s the one tool I’d consider worth investing in for project management. Closing note: Looking at what emotionAI reveals on emotional needs in UI, I wonder if a Project Management tool should not offer different User Interface and integrations to a same content (database) in order to be truly transversal, inclusive, consistent and efficient.

    For me, it’s Notion all the way. I love how customizable it is I can set it up exactly how i want and track everything in one place.

    Definitely Asana! The simplicity and structure help keep my team organized and the visual timelines make it easy to manage deadlines.

    ClickUp has been awesome for me. It combines so many tools in one platform so i dont have to jump between apps.
