Important news about Project Management and Collaboration software
2024. ClickUp wants to take on Notion and Confluence with its new AI-based Knowledge Base
Since bursting into existence in 2017, ClickUp has transformed from a mere productivity tool into a well-funded, starship-class operation, now boldly venturing into the realms of artificial intelligence with its latest invention, "ClickUp Knowledge Management." This feature, like a space-age filing cabinet with a personality, merges a wiki-style editor with an AI system that’s remarkably adept at pulling together data from the likes of Google Drive, Dropbox, Confluence and Figma—probably while wearing a digital monocle for extra flair. Determined to give heavyweights like Notion and Atlassian’s Confluence a run for their galactic credits, ClickUp seeks to create the ultimate knowledge mothership, where all vital information can be housed in one place (without getting lost in the hyperspace of scattered documents). Knowing the vastness of this challenge, the team concocted this product from scratch, wielding a wiki-centric approach and a particularly friendly AI to help with document creation and data wrangling, because nothing says "future" like a tool that practically does the thinking for you.
2024. Asana introduces ‘AI teammates’ designed to work alongside human employees
Picture this, if you will: Asana, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that managing your workflow could use a little cosmic nudge and so it’s introduced “AI teammates”—the sort of synthetic beings that might accidentally turn your coffee machine into a ticket-returning wizard. Imagine submitting a help request, only for it to be hurled back at you by an AI declaring, with a smug digital grin, that your description is as useful as a chocolate teapot. But fear not, for these AI teammates, in their generative brilliance, will help you rewrite it into something far more befitting of the task’s galactic importance, before it’s smoothly directed to the right human (or machine) to resolve. Behind all this wonder is the Asana work graph, a mystical web that untangles the cosmic spaghetti of tasks across your organization, enabling both flesh-and-silicon collaborators to comprehend how everything—yes, even Dave’s spreadsheet—is deeply connected. These AI teammates, like digital Hitchhikers, are given roles, helping them breeze through workflows with a level of effectiveness that might almost make them seem competent. Almost.
2024. Atlassian launches Rovo, its new AI teammate
In the wild, occasionally surreal frontier of messaging apps, WhatsApp has now decided that organizing events within Communities should no longer resemble an exercise in quantum improbability. Users can now create events directly within the app, allowing others to RSVP with ease and making it perfectly clear who’s attending and who’s pretending to have something better to do. All the vital details will live on the group’s info page, while participants will be nudged toward reality with timely notifications as the big day approaches. Initially limited to Community groups—because nothing good starts with everyone at once—this shiny new feature will soon roll out to all. Meanwhile, Announcement Groups are also getting a sprinkle of order, as responses will now be neatly bundled, so admins can interact with the masses without unleashing a torrent of chaos. Balance in the message-verse, it seems, may yet be achievable.
2023. Asana launches new work intelligence tools with AI on the way
Asana has announced a new set of dashboards to give managers the data they need to make sure projects are staying on budget and meeting goals. This involves providing a single view of strategic initiatives, team capacity and budgets. It builds on the graph model that underlies the entire Asana platform, but the company is working to bring artificial intelligence to the process to make it even smarter. The next step will be using AI to generate the portfolios of the things that you care about instantaneously. So having them become smarter and smarter, but the fact that they can be at any level across an entire organization, that is part of this new launch
2021. Microsoft launches Google-Wave-like collaboration service Loop
Microsoft is bringing back Google Wave, the doomed real-time messaging and collaboration platform Google launched in 2009 and prematurely shuttered in 2010. Microsoft Loop is a new app for real-time editing-based applications that allow users to collaborate on documents. Loop allows you and your team to see and group everything important to your project, making it easy for you to catch up on what everyone is working on and track progress toward shared goals. Loop Pages - are canvases where you can organize your components and pull in helpful elements like links, files, or data in ways that suit your specific project needs. And on page, document or in chat you can embed Loop Components - lists, tables, notes, or for example customer sales opportunity from Dynamics 365.
2021. Socratic nabs $3M seed to build data-driven task management system for developers
In the absurdly complex, mind-bending galaxy of task management systems, where developers navigate by instinct, intuition, and occasional grumbling, there comes Socratic, an ambitious startup with the lofty goal of infusing these journeys with meaningful data. With a fresh $3 million seed investment, Socratic aims to light the path for developers and team leads, while slyly offering engineering execs a peek behind the curtain to see the inner workings of their mysterious crews. Although Socratic’s software already uses internal sorcery to gather much of this insight, even the brightest tool could benefit from friends in high places. Their first integration? None other than GitHub—a small step for a link, but perhaps a giant leap for developer-kind.
2021. Atlassian launches Jira Work Management for every team
Atlassian today unveiled a new version of its Jira project management tool, Jira Work Management. The company has been progressively expanding Jira's reach beyond the software development teams it initially catered to. With Jira Service Management, it has successfully done this for IT teams. Jira Core also moved in this direction, but Jira Work Management takes it a step further (and will replace Jira Core). The goal is to provide a version of Jira that allows teams in marketing, HR, finance, design and other departments to manage their work and — if necessary — link it to that of a company’s development teams.

It will also feature several new options for customizing cards and viewing your workload beyond the traditional whiteboard column view. The updated cards include both mirror cards and link cards, which the company anticipates will facilitate the management of other apps and services within Trello. Additionally, Trello is rolling out five new board views that depart from the standard column format that the platform helped popularize.

Wrike can now anticipate potential delays and notify project and team leaders when it detects events that may indicate potential issues. AI-based task prioritization assists you in determining what to concentrate on right now to help advance a project.
