Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use monday.com for managing internal transversal projects. Our scope is between 25 and 30 projects per year, varying in themes such as events, product delivery, and custom service-based solution development, and our stakeholders are mainly coworkers from within our department. We use monday.com to have better visibility on the ongoing projects, especially during a busier time of year. We also use the platform to manage operational tasks, (recurring meetings, monthly newsletter writing) to facilitate note archiving and agenda management.

Pros and Cons

Provide effective visual aids for project tracking.
User friendly platform for updating project details (tasks, collaborators, timeline, etc).
A plethora of customizable templates for every need (project management, operational management, to-do lists, goal setting, etc).

The automating functions are sometimes confusing. It is not always clear in which setting they should be used.

Return on Investment

Time-saving (It allows me to spend more time WORKING on the task rather than PLANNING it).
Increased visibility for stakeholders (Boards are easily understandable and shareable).
Optimization of change management (The user-friendly aspect allows for more flexible project management methods).

Usability

The user-friendly aspect of monday.com is really what sells me. Everything is customizable! The color-coding allows for easy tracking of different tasks, projects, boards, etc. The drag-and-drop of items is a wonderful feature and saves me a lot of time, along with the copy to/move to features where you can copy or transfer information from one group or board to another. I don't really use the automated and integrated features, so I can't comment on that. However, I do appreciate that monday.com is compatible with so many other platforms (Teams, Slack, Gmail, etc).

Support Rating

I haven't really had the need to deal with Customer Support since I have been using the platform, so I can't really comment on it. I initially started using monday.com as a student. When registering to the platform, I did communicate with Customer Support and they were really helpful in guiding me through the different plans that were offered to students. Their team was quick to respond and clear in their emails!
