A stable solution that offers it users a choice to opt for a streamlined approach to task management
From a product management function perspective, it can be challenging to measure whether ClickUp improves efficiency on a month-to-month basis. However, I believe that using ClickUp helps maintain our efficiency levels. If we were to stop using it, I am 100% sure that our efficiency would decrease. That being said, just because we are using ClickUp does not automatically mean our efficiency will increase. We have reached a point where we understand how to use ClickUp effectively, and without it, it would definitely be a problem. However, using it alone does not make us better every day. The absence of ClickUp would definitely cause a problem. But, since we are using ClickUp, we don't get to improve 10% on a month-by-month or a year-on-year basis. So, that's very difficult to measure. Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work. Currently, team members need to update tasks and communicate issues, which requires me to read through each task and comment to understand the situation. However, if AI could assist in making faster decisions, it would greatly improve efficiency. I need to intervene at a minute level to discover if someone is facing a problem, but AI could help detect issues faster. The success of AI implementation can be seen in how ChatGPT has utilized AI.

What do you like most about ClickUp?
Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier.
What needs improvement with ClickUp?
They should explain better how costs and licensing are distributed. They auto take money from the credit card without notification for a while.
