I’ve used so many of these softwares for different industries and what they all don’t get is that if all it is is a spreadsheet in disguise, don’t obfuscate my ability to edit shit manually. There are so many edge cases in the real world that your production software simply can’t account for but don’t limit my ability to enter raw data when I need to! Fail soft and move on but don’t keep me from entering an order because the programmer didn’t think you would have any reason to order it.
That would only result in everyone entering their own version of what they believe the data should be structured like, making it a completely mangled shitshow without a shred of consistent workflow across the company. As soon as the user has the ability to deviate from the standard data format they will do so, just because they personally want it differently. It's an absolutely horrible idea.
Exactly. Thank you for putting this up.
In theory, excel should be good enough. But its only good enough for one person. They dont have the context of the whole project most of the time. So at no point is it optimized for everyone involved. Also God forbid someone leaves the job for any reason or goes on vacation. Even a shared Excel between teams, you go on vacation, come back and all your tasks are gone/messed up/they are using a new document for new projects.
In practice like one tracker that is maintained by the team that gets you 70% of the way there is good enough. And yeah it sucks when teams are moving from one to another.
