monday.com: who it fits and who it does not
- Good for

- Operations teams running recurring automated workflows
- Small teams wanting a highly customizable workspace
- Not for
- Organizations needing advanced portfolio management or forecasting
- PMOs managing complex dependencies and critical-path scheduling
- Software teams that need Jira-level dev workflows
- The catch
- Highly customizable and visual, but seat-block pricing with a 3-seat minimum drives costs up quickly as teams grow.
