Monday is a collaboration tool that puts the power of customization in the hands of businesses using the platform. From basic task lists to more complex collaboration setups, Monday offers businesses a greater level of flexibility than many of its competitors.

Upon signing up, users are prompted to create their first project. Users will then create their first “pulse.” A pulse on the Monday platform is like a to-do or a task. It is given a custom title and, from there, users can add a number of additional information blocks to the pulse. For example, the pulse can be assigned to specific team members, given a status column that is updated when in progress and completed, assigned a due date, given a priority, and more.

While all of these customizations seem complicated, the layout of Monday is clean, simple, and inviting. The colorful interface makes it easy to understand the status of a project, the due date, and who is working on each individual pulse.

Third-party integrations like Excel, Google Calendar, Slack, and Dropbox give Monday even more functionality and allow the platform to integrate with the other popular productivity tools that users already make use of.
