Why Monday.com is very exciting!

A modernised take on the Gannt chart is making waves!

The world of project management applications is changing and growing rapidly, gone are the days of clunky-looking databases and sheets and now a new era dawns upon us.

The new Monday experience allows for a very different way to manage projects as a team that does demand some exploration for those looking for their team’s next project management software.

⭐ WATCH FULL MONDAY.COM REVIEW: https://youtu.be/ajBtOzTIhC8

Your first touchpoint with Monday.com was most likely on YouTube. Their advertisements for the resource have been flooding feeds as much as Grammarly for those who enjoy apps and tools, like myself.

Monday.com has a whole host of features.

Let’s focus in on three of them.

The Gantt Chart

The real bread and butter of the experience is here. The Gantt chart that we know and respect has been modernised.

A simple design that allows you to change columns to whatever you like and add additional rows using these fields.

One thing that stood out when reviewing this feature was the colourful approach that the rows could be given, allowing at a glance for your whole team to know the status or activity going on with each task or project. Pretty impressive right!

Timeline View

Skip forward. No pun intended.

Timeline view. Pooof! I was blown away, hidden within the Gantt chart is a well-designed, flexible timeline for you to plot out the days, week, months ahead with tasks and projects. Down to the nth degree!

Communication

In-app team communication is much easier too. With discussions kicking off per board, which makes the whole ability side of things as lot easier.

Referencing the boards, comments, and more allows you and the team to keep in touch but in a much more fluid fashion that I’ve personally seen in the last 2–3 years of project managers.

What do Clients say about Monday?

Hearing some of the client stories of Monday.com, you do hear a very different perspective. The new format of working has helped many to accomplish team coordination, that many never achieved before.

Speaking to one of their avid team users, Ruben, from the team behind Anthem One, a professional lighting product range shared some of the benefits he and his team have been having.

• Reducing internal email by over 80%.
• Making all communication archivable and searchable.
• Allowing our organization to function as flat as possible, and remove unnecessary middle management (the source of most organizations’ drama)
• Allowing me to pulsify (our own word for creating pulses) operational processes otherwise hidden in a Dropbox folder or locked in someone’s head makes our company succession-minded, transparent, and honest.
• The timeline view is a living, breathing Gantt chart. It provides the real-time, adjustable visuals we need to know who’s working on what, and when it’s due.
• Maybe most significant of all: Monday.com transformed how we enforce quality control across our global 30+ company supply chain. We bake QC into the process itself. We invite our vendors to the Shared Boards, we interact, they post photos & videos, we replace email almost entirely. The odds we receive any erroneously manufactured components has been tremendously reduced.

These are just some of the notes that Ruben mentioned to his love for Monday.com. These are just some of the stories floating about!

Although this method of planning might not fit all teams, many of them are coming out of the woodwork to now explore a resource like this.
