Return on Investment

Ease of use
Maintain our close calendar in a central location where any user can log in at any given time
Access to checklist on the mobile app has made access super efficient as I can track the close any where in the world.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Monday.com is being used by my department in order to track our progress of our month and quarter end schedules. It allows us to collaborate together and send messages when we are hung up on a step. MY staff are able to send messages to each other and when they check off a task it alerts the next person who needs that step completed before they are able to move on to their task.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Informs users when tasks are completed
Ease of use
Multiple people can edit the list at any time

Cons

Not much outside of tracking a checklist
Limited number of people who can have access to your board (unless you upgrade)
Doesn't track the time spent on each task (unless you upgrade)

Usability

Monday.com is super easy to use and not a huge cost to use. The ability to use the app and see the same information that is found on the website in the app is amazing. I am able to log into the app anywhere in the world and see where my staff are at on the month end close. We are able to ask for help or ping the next person to let them know when your task is expected to be done. Very helpful in collaboration amongst team members.

Alternatives Considered

We used an excel spreadsheet to track our month end close process previously which created a lot of issues around only one person being able to be in the checklist at any given time. Additionally, we were unable to have excel notify us when a task we need to have completed was done, but Monday.com has completely changed that for us!

Likelihood to Recommend

I enjoy the ease of use of the system from logging in to inputting your information. The ability to be able to tag an employee if they are waiting on a task to be completed is a nice function. Previously we were tracking this in excel and only one person could be in the checklist at a time without causing errors. With Monday.com, multiple users can be in the checklist at any given time with no issues.

Love Monday.com!
