Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using Teamwork Projects between 4 departments: Marketing, Design, Engineering and Customer Service. The bulk of use is coming from Marketing & Engineering, with Design and Customer Service doing mostly monitoring of projects.

Pros and Cons

Viewing of prioritized task lists & dependencies by project or team member.
Assignment and notification of project tasks through the app, email or text.
Creating and adjusting project work loads via live Gantt charts.

Time tracking could be more intuitive.
It's browser based and a desktop app would be much better.
Better/deeper Slack integration (especially without using Zapier).

Return on Investment

It has reduced redundancies substantially.
It has increased streamlining and productivity across departments.
It has allowed for easy departmental status reviews of ongoing projects.

Alternatives Considered

Trello, Basecamp and Wrike

Teamwork Projects was much more deeper than Trello, but not as massive or unwieldy as Basecamp. It was similar in functionality to Wrike, but miles better in pricing and usability.

Other Software Used

Slack, Adobe Photoshop, WordPress

Likelihood to Recommend

Teamwork Projects is well suited to any environment where a small team between 3-5 teams is needed to be tasked with items on the project, given deadlines and sharing limited resources.

It is not the best when sharing large assets or having to keep versions of those assets in larger programs for design or 3D. It is also slightly cumbersome in time keeping so you might want a different solution for that.
