Keep Workzone, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Workzone you could make: Gantt & timelines, kanban boards, time tracking, reports and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $96 a year.
What you could make
- Gantt & timelines, kanban boards, time tracking, reports and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Google Drive among them.
What this rests on. Workzone’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
