After reading this post, it’s astonishing that such a crucial core functionality has not been resolved over the years. The ability for each item to exist independently of a Board should have been a fundamental feature considered from the construction of the entire Monday project management software. This practice is very common in today’s note-taking and information management. Yet, here at Monday, we’re still discussing topics like duplicating and mirroring items. Creating the same thing repeatedly only increases the likelihood of errors, while the development team continues to introduce some inexplicable features like “Reply directly in email,” “Custom Doc tables and layouts,” “The WorkCanvas Org Chart template,” “Captions on Doc images”? For a company developing project management software, the inability to prioritize software development is indeed puzzling.
I’ve now discovered that this requirement can be easily met with Asana, so I’ve decided to switch to Asana immediately. By the way, the dependencies feature in Monday is also not user-friendly and is noted to be in Beta. Dependencies are one of the essences of project management, yet such a core feature is still in Beta and not working well in Monday. Meanwhile, Monday is spending a significant amount of development resources on CRM and whiteboards. In fact, the most important reason for purchasing Monday was to achieve project management, not others. With core functionalities not perfected and a bunch of half-baked other software, is this what they call all-in-one?
