App spotlight: ClickUp

You've got your project timeline mapped out perfectly—tasks set, deadlines clear, and dependencies accounted for. But the other part of the project puzzle—the actual work—is still scattered. You constantly switch contexts between apps to review project documents, sketch out strategies, and discuss the work with your team. 

That's where ClickUp comes in. It goes a step beyond typical project management apps by integrating documents, whiteboards, and team chat into a central hub, so teams spend less time searching and can get stuff done faster.

Cross-functional collaboration made easier 

ClickUp offers a more flexible take on project management. Instead of organizing projects by teams or portfolios, ClickUp uses a folder-and-list system that resembles how cross-functional teams actually work. 

For example, if you're coordinating design and copy for an ad campaign, just create a folder for ad production. Then, organize tasks by function—group writing tasks in one list, and design tasks in another—while keeping your designers and writers in sync. 

ClickUp's flexibility doesn't eliminate deadlines (unfortunately), but with features like goal tracking, workload views, and dashboards, you can visualize and keep work on track.
