5 reasons Excel might not be the best choice for task management
- Excel lacks reminders, notifications, or task management features which make it less suitable for complex project management needs.
- Numerous software products are available for task and project management, including Planfix.
- Within Planfix, you can set reminders for each task; quick reminders at for example 15 minutes or other reminders can be customized for due dates and recipients; - recurring reminders to help ensure that important deadlines or regular tasks are not overlooked.
- Excel does not support tracking deadlines automatically, but within Planfix, you can set task deadlines, start dates, and due dates, and track deadlines/overdue tasks.
- Managing checklists and distributing tasks among team members in Excel is cumbersome. However, this process is simplified in Planfix.
- Collaborating as a team in Excel can be challenging, whereas Planfix provides a chat feature for each task to communicate effectively among team-members.
- Excel does not allow viewing of employees’ actual workload. In Planfix, the workload management feature allows viewing all employees’ workloads and offers various options with different views like boards, tables, Gantt, or Kanban.
- Investing in a comprehensive solution for task/project management, like Planfix, is beneficial for scaling alongside your business.
- Planfix offers a free pricing plan that enables you to streamline and automate business operations without initial financial investments.
- In conclusion, Excel can be a basic tool for managing tasks, but opting for solutions like Planfix is better as it provides comprehensive features for efficient and effective task/project management.
