Project Management
Bring your team together
At the heart of Slack are channels: organized spaces for everyone and everything you need for work. In channels, it’s easier to connect across departments, offices, time zones and even other companies.
Chat
Communicate and collaborate in the moment
Use instant messaging in Microsoft Teams to stay connected and engaged anywhere, anytime.
Instantly connect
Message a team member or the entire team, hop on a call, or share a screen for immediate feedback.
Customize chat
Take conversations anywhere
Record voice messages while you’re on the go and reply to an instant chat from your mobile device.
Use mobile apps
Keep the team focused
Organize your conversations, files, and apps in one place to keep the team in sync.
Create a template
Reduce email clutter
Move email threads into quick chats. Share photos and documents with one person or the team.
ClickUp users enjoy relatively open autonomy to create and store their own data, enabling different levels of users to create, control, and share different data. In the following sections we will cover permissions and security in more depth.
Collaboration
What is collaboration?
Collaboration is working together on a shared project or goal. Use collaboration tools for business to easily create and edit content with your team.
Features of collaboration
Share files, co-author and edit content simultaneously, automatically save everyone’s changes, communicate in real-time, ideate in the Whiteboard app, work together in channels, and more.
Benefits of collaboration
Work effectively together: improve productivity, save time, and accomplish more. Break down silos and bring your team together, keeping everyone in the loop and ensuring everyone has a voice.
Discussion Threads
Chat happens in channels, too
When you go to any channel in Teams the very first tab is Posts. Think of this as one big group chat. Everyone who has access to the channel can see messages in Posts.
Everything in One place
Organize your life
Keep everything you need in one place: chats, meetups, files, and tasks. See activities, events, grocery lists, and chores from a single dashboard.
ClickUp has native integrations with some of the must-haves like Google Drive, Slack, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, and more. However, in order to sync some crucial software like Salesforce or Hubspot, you’ll need to bring in a third-party integrator like Integromat or Zapier. Additionally, integrations cannot be set up as automations (which we’ll get into next) which can make building workflows complicated.
Task Management
Make plans together
Plan activities more easily with chats, tasks, and shared to-do lists. Make decisions faster with instant polls, and share meeting invites directly in a group chat.
