11 reasons to choose ClickUp as your project management tool

By digital  Published On April 7, 2022

If you manage a project or if you are in charge of a company or a team, you know how important it is to manage your time and your tasks well. More and more project management tools are emerging, but how do you know which one will be effective for your business and your productivity? As a ClickUp expert, we'll give you 11 reasons why this tool is the best on the market in 2022.

Created only in 2017, it has outperformed all its competitors with a simplistic user experience and impressive features.

In 2020, ClickUp has raised the largest amount of money in the history of project management software, over $300 million, to achieve unicorn status.

Since its creation, ClickUp has defined itself as an application to replace them all. It is one of the highest rated productivity and project management tools used by productive teams in small and large companies.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the 11 main criteria that make ClickUp unique.

About ClickUp

In 2017, ClickUp was founded in California with the mission of making the world more productive by offering a "digital workplace" combining team management with document creation and chat. The goal was to provide a credible enough alternative for Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace, which have lately struggled with their image as productivity tools. 

In 2021, the world's only all-in-one productivity platform, announced that the company had raised $400 million in Series C financing to reshape the way teams work and give companies a competitive advantage.

So far, it's the only productivity platform that adapts to the way people want to work. It replaces all individual desktop productivity tools with an integrated system that includes project management, collaborative document sharing and goal tracking - all in a single, unified, user-friendly interface.

As one of the fastest growing SaaS companies in the world, ClickUp has helped more than 800,000 teams and millions of users lead more productive lives and earn at least one day a week.

Today, LANE is the first certified, official and recognized ClickUp expert in Switzerland. Through our years of experience in developing organizations and teams, our goal is to ensure that every business thrives in the digital age by boosting their productivity.

11 real reasons why teams choose ClickUp

Reason 1: Multiple views

Between managing projects, deadlines, and the team, the way you perceive your job shouldn't make it even more stressful. Not to mention that everyone has a different style of learning or working - there should be options for everyone!

That's why ClickUp has created not one, not two, but 15 different views. This way you can visualize your work in your own way.

Here are some ClickUp views we use:

 

1. List view: the most flexible view to organize, sort and filter. A high-level overview of all work tasks in one space.

 

2. Table view to group all the tables in a single view and to visualize them all in one place.

 

3. Display in calendar : to have an overview of the organization of the deadlines

 

4. Gantt view: a powerful analysis tool to get an overview of your project. With this view you can plan tasks and manage bottlenecks.

 

5. Workload view: to view your team's capacity and manage resources.

 

6. Activity view: to see in detail all the activities related to a specific list. You can filter by people, status, due date, etc. and tap to get granularity on the activity you see.

 

7. Document view : to create beautiful documents, wikis, knowledge bases and more with the flexible and shareable pages of Doc views.

8. Display of a "Whiteboard" : to collaborate, brainstorm ideas, solve problems, and quickly do teamwork with whiteboards.

This level of flexibility is appreciated by many users, as it allows them to manage any type of work according to their needs and to choose the view that best suits them to visualize each space. Aside from this flexibility, ClickUp is also highly valued for its customizability. 

Reason 2: infinite customization capacity

A topic that can be discussed for an entire day, because if there's one reason ClickUp is unique, it's that infinite customizability. 

Why does this feature continue to win over its users? It's simple.

Since ClickUp is a fully customizable online software solution, this means that every part of the platform can be adjusted and customized to fit your workflow, personal preferences, business model, etc. 

This flexibility gives each team the freedom and structure it needs to adapt ClickUp to its needs.

A few customization features we particularly like at LANE:
  • Custom fields : to give tasks unlimited flexibility and add tons of information to each view;
  • Customized task status: to keep the team aligned and informed about the progress of a task; 
  • Customized dashboards: With more than 50 widget variations, the dashboards have given us a high level of reporting and an overview of our work. We use it, for example, for the monthly sales report and to have a view on the achievement of each member's goals.

ClickUp's customizability is a major reason why we are avid users of this platform among many others, which we will discover in the following sections.

Reason 3: Team collaboration and communication

It's no longer a secret that collaboration and team communication are the key to project success. However, before the hybrid work mode, many companies still struggle to keep up. 

With ClickUp's advanced features for team collaboration and communication, teams can streamline all communications on a single platform, collaborate with anyone in real time, while promoting transparency.

Here are some examples of features that can improve communication between departments and customers:
  • Single and Multiple Assignments: a feature that can allow you to assign a task to one or more members in order to distribute the amount of work and promote teamwork.
  • Observers: an observer on a task will be notified of updates on it. This will reduce the number of update meetings. 
  • Email in ClickUp:  you can send and receive emails directly on a task to keep all discussions in one place. 
  • Comments and Mentions Awarded: Assign a comment or action item to a specific team member, and mention (or tag) your colleagues to draw their attention to items in the tasks or chat view.


In short, whether you're in the office or fully remote, ClickUp helps you stay connected and up-to-date. This is part of the digitization of processes which is currently emerging as a new standard for organizations. If you need help, you can always call on a ClickUp expert like LANE.

Reason 4: Real-time reporting

ClickUp's reports allow you to understand your team's performance, see what each member is working on and who is ahead or behind on their workload. Over 50 widget variations can be used to create different dashboards, giving insight into how things are going overall on that particular project!

Other useful ClickUp features for reporting :

  • Workload and box view
  • Goals
  • Milestones
  • Impulse

Reason 5: Time tracking on tasks

With ClickUp's flexible time tracking features, you can better manage your work and feel more in control of your day. 

Set estimates for projects, track actual hours worked so far on any current project or task! And add temporary workload notes if needed. All of this syncs automatically between devices. So you don't have to worry about switching from one device (or computer) to another, since everything will already be backed up where YOU want it to be.

Our ClickUp expert advice:
  • Notes:  insert notes on each time entered to know exactly what you spent time on. 
  • Tags: use tags to categorize your time entries and filter out uninteresting ones. 
  • Billable Time: Marking a task as billable will allow you to know how much should be included in the invoices. That's another thing to consider. 
  • Sorting and filtering: Sorting and filtering are great ways to get an overview of what's going on in your projects. Filter by dates, status, or priority labels to get more specific information about the tasks at hand!
  • Cumulative: see a combined total of all time spent on tasks and subtasks.
  • Change the time: add or subtract time from your tracked time.

You can also integrate other time tracking tools with ClickUp, such as Toggl, Everhour or Harvest.

To make sure everything runs smoothly, you need to know how long each task takes. You can use this information for many purposes, from optimizing your workflow to identifying potential bottlenecks in the process. 

Let's look at the different templates to get started on ClickUp.

Reason 6: ClickUp templates

With ClickUp's extensive library of pre-built templates, you can get up and running quickly and present your organization in the best possible light. Customize them to fit any occasion or industry without worrying about formatting!

At LANE, for example, we designed a template to easily visualize and identify the stages of a project, as well as to create a consistent and repeatable format that would meet the needs of every project in the future.

The model we created allowed our team to solve an alignment problem and be more efficient. Not only did it reduce turnaround times, but it also reduced the meetings needed to follow up on the work!

Discover all the types of designs available to you, yes for free! Inspiration is just a click away on ClickUp. 

Now that we have your attention, don't forget how great these designs are - check them out now on the ClickUp model center or if you want to build your own sprint model, contact our ClickUp expert team.

Reason 7: Integration power

ClickUp is a powerful project management tool on its own, but when combined with others, you can save time in one place. As an example of how it seamlessly integrates into your workflow and streamlines tasks, it can be connected to over 1000 different tools for free!

Integrate your favorite business applications with ClickUp to streamline your work and increase efficiency. You can connect Slack, Google Calendar, Zapier - even more tools of the trade for a seamless experience so you don't have to go back and forth between multiple programs. 

It's the perfect tool to help you work smarter, not harder. It has integration power that allows users to manage all their projects in one place and get more done with less time spent on tedious tasks.

Reason 8: Mobile application

The problem is that not all project management software works perfectly with mobile devices. When you're working away from the office and need to access your team's projects, it can be tedious to have to go back and forth between two different programs just to get work done.

The ClickUp mobile application is a must-have for anyone who is constantly on the go! It brings together in one place all the features and tasks you need in real time: create new projects, update your colleagues or manage projects anytime and anywhere. For example, our team updates while on the move in public transportation! 

Reason 9: Competitive prices

ClickUp has become a solution of choice for teams looking to modernize and streamline their project management process. They offer affordable pricing plans that fit any budget, with features tailored to your team's specific needs! 

You can start using the platform for free and try all the features before choosing the plan that best suits your needs.
