What I found out after 5 years of building 100+\u00a0products<\/h4>\n

Hi, I am Shiv, founder and CEO at Nifty. I\u2019m here to tell you something you probably already know. Project management is broken\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026or rather, it was never quite put together in the first place. My product team must have lost at least 1 hour each day juggling multiple project management tools.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s is a typical project management flow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create project docs and requirements in one tool<\/li>\n
  2. Deliver the documents in a second tool<\/li>\n
  3. Store project assets in a third tool<\/li>\n
  4. Discuss project milestones with a client in the 4th tool<\/li>\n
  5. Discuss the project internally in a 5th tool<\/li>\n
  6. Track progress in a 6th tool<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
