Pillars of Project Management using Notion

Notion templates are needlessly made complex with a tonne of structure that a user has to adapt to. Ideally, templates should be a framework in which the users can mix-match and make it fit for their context. After receiving a tonne of requests from people asking us how we manage client projects in @NotionHQ and we recently put together a simple template for a friend based on our experiences of running a product design consultancy.

Now, I cannot show this template but you could consider these pillars to create a flexible and ready to use notion space or even a trello space 😄 to work better for your context of project management.

Here are some pointers ↓

1. Setup a simple space which has all the info as a dashboard and keep it updated daily. Choose metrics like Hours, Sprint status, etc.

2. Have a space dedicated for capturing all the important milestones along with the sprint plan so people can see it in one place.

3. Keep it updated regularly with a last updated date so your clients can see and track.

4. Finally, keep a running and consolidated page to hand-off deliverables to the client or their tech teams.
