ClickUp Saves Time & Provides Organizational Transparency

We have countless tools for each department and team at a scaling startup. We used to update our spreadsheets manually and didn’t have a structured way to track projects, sprints, or OKRs. Every minute counts for a company focused on growth, and manual processes are a roadblock in the workday grind. Whether you’re an established business or a startup, keeping your growth on a positive trajectory will require proper team alignment, flexible project management tools, and effective goal-tracking systems. So if you’re looking for a solution to hit all of the targets above, then ClickUp is for you. My company is remote-first, so being on Zoom calls all day to figure out roles and responsibilities can get tedious. By using ClickUp, our team can delete redundant meetings and set up projects async. Not only are we saving personal time, but we are saving the company money by deleting meetings from our calendars. Meetings are extra costs in terms of our time. Meetings break up our day and our focus but take away crucial time that could be better used complete projects. ClickUp has allowed up to take back our time!

Our collaboration has significantly improved, especially when we rolled out our company-wide OKR tracking. Our team can link tasks to overarching OKRs to see what teams own what project. If an individual has a question about a project, they can go to the OKR tracker, see who owns the project, check out the project brief, and reach out to the project owner if necessary. Before, we would Slack around to figure out who was in charge and waste a bunch of time trying to answer questions.

One of the integrations we use is Slack. We first started using the integration to create tasks from Slack, but now we do so much more. We have ClickUp send Slack notifications when tasks are created, and we use Slack as a sort of go-between. If ClickUp doesn't have a direct integration with one of our platforms (ex: Tool 1), we will set up Slack integration with Tool 1 and create tasks from Slack based on notifications from Tool 1, OR we will send tasks from Tool 1 through email notification to ClickUp lists.
