Yesterday (2022/10/12), I had a beta user interview with ClickUp. It was a great experience. Their PM asked me many questions about our scenarios and we talked a lot. The most important thing is that I knew they will fix some major issues finally. Frankly, I am almost going to give up ClickUp and switch back to Jira Cloud. I even left a reply on Canny before they announced the beta:
Let me do the recap and intro.
What is ClickUp? It is an all-in-one SaaS management tool but we only use it as our task management tool for our Scrum.
We were used to use Jira for tracking our tickets. But back to the beginning of this year, we have some new Web3 products and some of our teammates were tired of the lagging of Jira Cloud. So, they proposed to use ClickUp and I agreed with them to use it as PoC for new products during that time.
But soon, I noticed that ClickUp has some major weak points to do the management compares to Jira. Although they developed the beta version of swimlane after almost 4 years of the first proposal, they still need much time to improve them.
Hence, if you want to run Scrum, Jira might still be your first choice at this moment. (Even though Jira Cloud is really quite slow.) But don't get me wrong, I truly hope that ClickUp can accelerate their development speed and fix the pain points of management views then competing with Jira.
I listed the major weak points as below and you can make them as your checkpoints if the team figure them out,
- No swimlanes and No "Group by User Story".
- Forced users to focus one task at a time.
- They separate their calendar by each month.
