Use Cases and Deployment Scope

monday dev is the primary tool that we use to run our development organization. Previously we used an internal tool that lacked many things we needed to grow as a development organization. Now that we are using monday dev we have grown it to all facets of our development and product organizations as well as our customer-facing teams that are directly adjacent to the research and development teams.

Pros

  • Ease of use without training
  • Ability to build multiple views for different teams
  • Ability to build many different reports

Cons

  • More customization in automated tasks
  • Ability to send visual snapshots of reports and dashboards
  • Integrated reports from dashboards in dev and work management

  • 15% decrease in post release bugs
  • 20% faster time to market

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Monday for lead management and project management for our team internally. We keep all notes about a project on Monday. We also use it to send automated emails to our clients and free up our administrative time. Finally, we use it to send reminders about billing and reviews.

Pros

  • Sending automated emails.
  • Keeping lists of clients.
  • Flagging specific dates for when you need to contact people.

Cons

  • Sometimes, it's a little technical to set up. Someone who isn't particularly savvy will have a hard time setting it up.
  • Sometimes there are glitches in the automations.
  • The comments areas can be confusing- how they nest. Things can get lost in there.

Return on Investment

  • We can more easily grab the KPIs for our quarterly reviews.
  • There are no automatic charts or reports I can pull for the quarter. Everything is manually gathered.
  • Doesn't give us job costing.

Usability

monday dev, as good as its brother Monday.com!

Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

monday dev ends up being just as efficient as its counterpart Monday.com and based on the use we have developed in the last 6 months, I have to say that it is a relief that for web development it is a great help for the organization and optimal accommodation for the workflow in 100% remote organizations. Many of the communication aspects as well as organizational ones (especially when working with code) tend to have a significant improvement with the assignment and real-time visualization of how the product is gradually being put together in the different areas.

Pros

  • Managing specific objectives
  • Automation
  • Integration and interaction with GitHub
  • Scheduling and feedback effectively

Cons

  • Integration with specialized codes and panels for dev (Emphasis on the Web section)
  • Change theme/UI in a more friendly way for each of the team members
  • Web Performance (It is often a bit of a struggle to run the website on browsers like Firefox, Opera and Safari)

Return on Investment

  • Although the initial operational cost is usually somewhat high, it is really worth considering in an environment with more than 10 employees working together.
  • In project costing (web development) it is quite acceptable and falls within the scope of the final product quote.
  • I don't have exact numbers or percentages (because I'm not in charge of that section) but I can say that it falls within a good to acceptable ROI range.
