Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mavenlink has helped our organization keep track of our many projects while enhancing the ability of our units to connect with one another.

Pros

Mavenlink gives us the ability to create and keep track of complex work plans.
Mavenlink provides a place to share information and store files related to the development of new scopes of work for projects.
Mavenlink's template feature helps us think through the planning of frequently executed deliverables.

Cons

Our project timelines change frequently. Having an ability to easily view older "archived" versions of the task tracker would be helpful, so that we could easily see the history of the changes made to the task tracker in a given project.
We love the "Master Planning" section of Mavenlink. Rather than planning out staff hours, we wished the Mavenlink gave us the ability to plan with "assigned tasks" using a similar tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mavenlink is helpful for planning with internal staff. We are not yet using Mavenlink to collaborate with our partners.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our entire team uses Mavenlink. We use it to create and manage projects, schedule and bill time, and to keep things organized. This helps us to see who we have on each project and to manage their weekly time in an amazing way. We also can keep track of when people are scheduled for PTO, when our freelancers are billing time, etc.

Pros

As an administrator, I love that I can see a detailed view of everyone who is scheduled for the week. I love that I can see what people were planned to do at the beginning of the week, and what we actually have them scheduled for.
I really like that when I click to schedule in hours on a task for a particular person, I can see what other project they are scheduled for and which project specifically it is for.
It is helpful for me to be able to see the amount for a budgeted task, and how many hours are planned for each task. I like that overall I can see the budget for the project and how much is budgeted total for all of my tasks.

Cons

You can budget out the whole project, and you can put in a budget for your expenses, but when you add an actual expense, it doesn't bill against the total used budget of the project. If I want to add time under a user other than myself, it's relatively easy to do. If I want to add an expense under someone else, I'm actually unable to do it. The program doesn't have the capability.
I'm sad that it doesn't have a native app for notifications/contact.
If I change something - like a task budget - it automatically saves it. That's great, but sometimes people make mistakes and it doesn't show what it USED to be. I find this a little frustrating. I wish there was a "changed from" notification or something, even if it only pops up for a couple seconds.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would use this as a project manager for any field where you would like to stay on task, track a budget, and keep track of billed time. You have the ability to run different analytical reports, send out invoices, etc. The in-app communication leaves a little to be desired, but overall it's a great product!
