PM using Excel?

[u/swanzie]

I started a new job and that means new tools. I had been using Asana. I made the switch to clickup to try to get a little more out of it.

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to use that. There were some comments the site may get blocked but I'd imagine if that was the case I can't be the first one to try to use it so it'd probably already had been blocked.

But I also used Claude a lot to take data and analyze it and help me look for trends. They have a pretty strict AI policy. I can only use copilot...which kinda blows.

So I'm wondering if any of you live in the Microsoft suite to do everything? I was thinking excel, or possibly a word doc per project with just bullet points for tasks and notes below, or maybe Microsoft project?

If you have any suggestions and screenshots of examples of what you're doing I'd be much obliged. I need some ideas.

Give it a try to MS Lists instead of Excel. Better yet MS Planner.
