I'd like to ask for your advice or for your opinion on Task/Project management tool. We are using Notion at the moment, but when our projects scale (lot's of sub-tasks appear, when tasks are cros-department, etc) - it doesn't work that good. So what are the alternatives and modern trends in that kind of tools?) What are you using in your companies (product preferably)? Please, share your experience! I've looked through them all, but they are pretty much the same at the first sight.

Hey! My favorite tool is ProProfs Project (https://www.proprofsproject.com/) to manage my project tasks across teams and departments. It lets me create tasks and subtasks, assign resources, and define deadlines in just a few clicks. Moreover, the tool provides me with a platform that helps team members collaborate and stay updated on how the project progresses. Overall, the tool is excellent for measuring task progress and delivering projects on time, no matter how simple or complex your projects get. Hope it helps! :)

GanttPRO is a nice looking and powerful Gantt chart generator and task manager.

It empowers teams from various industries to create unlimited projects and work with unlimited resources. The tool looks really nice with its intuitive UX/UI design and a short learning curve. It offers a wide range of robust project management, project portfolio management, team collaboration, resource and cost management features. Find out more details here - https://ganttpro.com/.

the problem with these stand alone tools is you and your team have to be totally all in on using them otherwise its just another place to check
Julia Oganesian
@gfragin SO TRUE! That is why we tried to make task tracking in Notion (which we already use and are fine with it). But apparently it appeared difficult to scale in tasks volume. So we are going to try external tool (and I really hope it will be adopted well).

I would add taskable to the list
I was in love with Trello back in the year. Know I love to use Asana for big project and ... ToDoist for small one :)

@jacquelinclem cool, thank you for sharing your experience!
Julia Oganesian
@jacquelinclem Yeah, I know Trello is beloved by lots of people) But as for me, it doesn't work that well for projects with lots of sub-tasks that have different assignees. It is not so intuitive in dependencies between epics, tasks, sub-tasks. Asana is much better for this purpose, agree?
@purumpumpum yep Asana was rlly bad years ago but it's now a super tool for medium team :)
@purumpumpum you welcome 👋🏻

Wow, you guys rock. I didn't know most of the tools you've mentioned here.

My favorite is Restyaboard, another top free task management tool with features including task scheduling, task list and calendar views, Kanban boards, and project briefs.

Our agency has been working with Narrato Workspace (https://narrato.io) to handle content projects - and it has been a breeze.

Actually I haven't had much experience with task management platform. My team is using Jira Software now and I love it 'cuz it's really easy to use!
Julia Oganesian
@themaxrussell Jira is truly native for developers, that's true. As for non-developers - per my experience, most people are afraid of it )))) but I agree, it's a great example of a task/project management tool!

Hi, Julia! When I worked in a scientific lab, my colleagues and I used an weje.io, it helped us to organize information properly and prepare it for publication while working remotely (a few days a week). We also used it as task tool. Check it! I think weje.io is a good option for small teams.
