monday.com At A Glance

Good: monday.com has a unique organizational approach that utilizes color and placement to help manage a team at a glance.
Bad: The Basic plan doesn't include many important project management features, and some users have experienced a short learning curve.
Bottom Line: A project management software that helps teams organize and understand their workload through glanceable visuals.

Product Overview

monday.com is a cloud-based project management software that simplifies the way teams manage workloads and communicate.

The solution features color-coded boards that allow users to quickly check which projects are in progress, which tasks are finished and where team members are stuck. These boards are also organized in a way that conveys due-dates and the relationships between assignments.

Users can choose to view the board based on Status, Text, Person, Timeline, or Date. This allows project managers to easily find users who are over/underworked and balance out workloads. All team communication takes place on each board to help eliminate confusion. monday.com comes with over 200 templates, and users can customize their workflows by dragging and dropping from any of the 30 column types.

Features

Centralized management with boards – With monday.com, everything is managed with a board. This is color-coded and visually organized to help you see who’s working on a task, project, mission and to-do and where they are in the process. For example, team members can put a “Stuck,” “Working on it” or “Done” status on each task.

Pulses for organized communication – All communication on monday.com takes place within the context of a board. Rows, called “pulses”, are added to the relevant board and can include comments and file attachments. Users can send messages to specific people or the entire team. Notifications for pulses take place in real time via the desktop and mobile apps.

Visual organization – With meaningful colors and board placement, managers can glance to understand how each project and team member is progressing. This helps to ensure that all deadlines will be met and that new assignments are properly delegated/assigned.

Invite clients – Clients can be invited as guests to view a certain board and see the progress of their project at anytime.

Advanced search – Search through images, updates, projects and assignments with no date limit.

Timeline – Timeline is monday.com’s version of Gantt charts and is ideal for tracking tasks or projects that span over multiple days or for teams with multiple workloads. If there’s a delay with a project or task, users can easily drag and drop timeline bars to extend the due dates. Users can also view multiple timelines on a single timeline board.
