Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ClickUp to manage our tasks from the weekly goals all the way to the quarterly goals. We usually use it to manage projects and employees to track progress on the projects they are busy with. Personally, it helps me with keeping up with my deadlines and seeing if I need extensions ahead of time. I am also able to track the challenges I have faced throughout the projects I have been busy with.

Pros and Cons

Keeping track of all the changes each individual makes on a task
Linking related tasks together
Amazing Visuals to help with understanding your planning better

Adding guest users is not so convenient. I think working on a bit more detailed Access base method can help with that
Reminders and home page being more emphasized as to help users see an overall view of their tasks due
Added closing date on checklist items

Return on Investment

It has allowed for faster project completion on my behalf
HR has been able to help the management team track the leave days of employees
I think working on viewing the project of each member if the feature is not there yet would greatly improve task management

Collaboration

It has certainly helped with keeping track of tasks not started or not completed. Having deadline reminders and priority settings has helped managers see what are critical tasks due.

All-in-One Productivity Platform

So far we have only integrated to the team to receive any reminders and see updates of any important tasks- updated by individuals.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Planner

I think UI/UX ClickUp takes the cup but due to having limitations based on package costs is where ClickUp falls behind. Planner allows the members under your organization account to enjoy all of the same privileges you may have based on your account package.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think for tracking developers and the progress, click up is very suited for that but I have seen to track ongoing tasks is where the shortfall is. I think working on a space that can allow users to add admin and ongoing tasks that are not a major priority can assist with that. Cause at times you send far due dates to counteract that but that causes the system to not give you daily notifications or reminders that you may need to have.
