Overall Satisfaction with Projectplace
We're using Projectplace as a project managing tool for our design and PR team here at RaceChip. It helps with tracking current tasks for each team member and also improves our workflow between different teams. We're using the tool in German and for one location in Stuttgart, Germany.
- The card system of project place works really good. It's very easy to create new cards, assigning them to team members and linking them to projects.
- The "plan" view is really helpful to keep track of your recent activities.
- It's useful to connect activities with others to know if something has to be finished before another activity.
- The whole structure is currently very much made for companies with big projects with a lot of different activities. However, for smaller teams like ours it's simply too big in scale and therefore, we only use one "project" for all of our actual projects, which then are "activities" in Projectplace.
- Sometimes a card struggles to update itself after you changed something in it (e.g. the label or assignee).
- It's not really easy to move cards to some kind of archive. I created a new board especially for this but when moving cards there, they're automatically marked as "ToDo" again.
- Projectplace definitely made the workflow in our team much more efficient which is why we can now complete projects faster than before working with this tool.
Projectplace works the best for our kind of work because it's not too complicated to ensure a fast project management but it's also not too stripped down so we still can add all the details and files we need.
