The Benefits of ClickUp: Why We Use It

We are often searching for tools that enhance efficiency, allow smooth collaboration, and simplify project management. In our exploration of project management software, we've experimented with a variety of options, from task lists to organised queues. However, one platform has consistently excelled: ClickUp. We initially adopted ClickUp to clarify our projects, and enhance team and client collaboration. It has since become an key part of our tech stack. Here's why.

1. Everything in One Place

ClickUp replaces the need for multiple tools by offering task management, docs, goals, time tracking, and even chat—all in one platform. Instead of jumping between apps, everything is connected, reducing friction and saving time.

For us, this means:
✔ No more switching between task trackers and notes apps
✔ Centralised communication, reducing Slack/Teams messages
✔ Better visibility on progress across departments

2. Customisation Without Complexity

One of ClickUp’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. It allows teams to work the way they want, with custom statuses, views, and automation.

We’ve tailored ClickUp to match how we work, using:
🔹 Custom fields to track project-specific details
🔹 Multiple views (List, Board, and Timeline) to suit different work styles
🔹 Automations to reduce manual updates and keep projects moving

3. Seamless Collaboration

Remote teams thrive when they have the right tools. ClickUp makes collaboration easy with:

• Assigned comments so feedback doesn’t get lost
• Real-time editing in Docs (perfect for brainstorming and documentation)
• Integrations with Slack, Google Drive, and HubSpot to keep everything connected

For a fully remote team like ours, this has been a game-changer.

4. Task & Project Visibility

Keeping track of multiple projects and deadlines can get messy. ClickUp offers dashboards, workload views, and progress tracking, ensuring everyone knows what’s happening.

We rely on:
📊 Dashboards for a high-level overview of projects
🕒 Workload view to prevent overloading team members
📅 Calendar sync to align tasks with meetings and key dates

5. Affordable and Scalable

Unlike some project management tools that charge per feature, ClickUp offers a lot—even on the free plan. It’s cost-effective while still being powerful enough to scale as our team grows.

Would We Recommend It?

Absolutely. ClickUp has helped us manage projects more effectively, cut down on admin time, and improve communication across our remote team. Whether you’re a small startup or a growing business, it’s worth considering.

If you’re thinking about adopting ClickUp, our advice is: start simple. Test out the core features, tweak them to fit your team’s workflow, and build from there.
