We're considering Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet, and some other project & task management software for our development company to help keep us on track. Anyone out there have experience working with one of these or a competitor? Has it helped increase your productivity and created clarity on roles & responsibilities within your organization?

Career Resources
It’s been awhile but I thought smartsheets was pretty good and intuitive. Create different sheets per projects, timelines, assign to individuals, etc.
We use Procore at our shop - great for a one stop resource for sharing drawing revisions, plan sets, COR/change event logs (with ability to attach primary sources related to it), submittals and RFIs. Most major GCs already utilize it so it’s an easy way for the whole team to have access during the late design-construction phase.
That's more construction based. I pull docs from it when there is active project but during the planning/entitlement process Procore is not used.
Agreed that it is more construction focused - that being said, just because you/your company does not use it during entitlement/design does not mean it is not useful during that phase.
Procore has a very expansive system for markups and exchanging different versions of plan sets as you move from your design development package towards construction documents.
My firm just made the switch to Procore, but as someone mentioned--only for the construction phase. For organization and task management during design/entitlements/financing, we just use OneNote. You can keep digital notebooks with separate tabs and pages--all of which can be shared between employees (works well for me and my VP). Personally, I also use my own (free) Asana account to further stay organized. I wish my whole company would implement the paid Asana. But I was surprised by what Asana allows me to do just with my own free account.
Does anyone find any particular thing about their software really annoying? I'm always looking for a play to make something better.
asana is terrible, the dependencies are real real bad. overall functionality as a timeline is real low, but their just task listing is fine
I'm not a developer, but I manage my own acquisitions using Trello. It's super helpful because I can make checklists, deadlines, assign tasks to certain users (helpful for VA's).
I've used all the big ones. If you're cost conscious and have a large team nothing is better than Basecamp.
If you have a small team and need a bit more functionality but people are tech stupid, then Monday or Asana.
Trello and Jira are great but not friendly if you're team has a lot of older people who can barely figure out how to text their kids. There's a good reason almost everything uses these two for software dev specifically.
In Brazil used a GR3 Web system, it gives me a lot of flexibility in managing property and clients
