We are a small boutique consulting firm, so we don't need a complicated software development project management tool. We have client projects we coordinate, track tasks, track time, budget, work with freelancers, schedule meetings and updates, communicate/collaborate. We are also developing our own white label products/sales, etc. Here is a list of the main requirements and questions we have, so far?
- We need a simple, free from clutter view of our project portfolio - Is choice of colors the primary customization feature? I do love the way Basecamp simplifies the home screen with a Message Board, calendar, tasks and only the projects I am a part of.
- Ideally, we would like a solution that does not add more subscriptions and we can reduce - if our external clients, vendors use Slack, is there a way for us to use confluence and Slack integration to communicate without having a Slack subscription?
- Is there a way to utilize calendar booking with an app to eliminate the need for a tool like Calendly?
- Is there a way to have one primary calendar for our company and eliminate Google Calendar?
- How/can we use time tracking from staff and vendors within projects to roll into invoicing and billing?
- We use Google Workspace - is there a way to implement additional cloud file storage, and email to eliminate Google?
- Why does Atlassian not just let you test everything? I would like to see how Approvals helps/enhances the workflow instead of creating approval tasks?
- Is there a way to improve the issues tab - it is very busy and at first glance you dont even know what you are looking at?
- Is there any dashboard or summary views of all projects and their performance or status?
