Moving from Jira to ClickUp

We recently moved from JIRA to Clickup for task management. Their workload view is simply awesome.

It allows me to see how my team members are occupied at a glance.

I moved mainly because of the pricing. My team member size is 13 and JIRA got only 10 seats in the free version after adding 7 members, it does not allow me to add more.

I used JIRA, Work Management, and confluence.

When I wanted to pay JIRA, I see I got to pay separately for each of their software. Per member per month. That's a lot.

The learning curve was not long for Clickup, but diverting all team members with different technological backgrounds was a tough decision to make.

You know in the automobile sector in Bangladesh, there are a lot of workforces who do not have an academic background.

Moreover, I follow the agile methodology in the automotive sector in Bangladesh!

It was tough to navigate everyone on the team.

However, Clickups got all of the features that a person without an academic background can follow too. Pretty dope.

Clickup did lots of marketing before. Their constant marketing bombardment made me sick of them.

However, $5 per user per month to run sprint, normal task management, and documentation is life-saving for me.

Though I still use their free version as there are no user limits. Surely I will pay them after a while.

Before choosing this platform I tried several others including local software, but that did not serve the purpose.

Pretty much all the component at Palki Motors runs by software.

  • Hubspot with automated sales funnel.
  • Clickup for project management and documentation.
  • CashBook for simple accounting.
  • Google Workspace for email, and calendar.
  • PiHR for HR
  • Slack for team communication

Crazy thing is that my whole team uses those daily.

It is tough to implement the habit to use software, but I force it.

After forcing sometimes the team members see the benefits.

Having software in a company is easy, but making sure everyone uses it daily and properly it is tough.

It's the management's responsibility to patiently force good habits in a company.
