Project management software was supposed to make our lives easier. But somewhere along the way, it got bloated. Tools became overloaded with features. Using them became more of a hassle than they were worth. And team adoption? It never quite stuck.
For fast-moving, collaborative teams—especially those who live in Slack—traditional task management tools introduce more friction than clarity. It’s time for a new way.
Why the Old Way Fails Modern Teams.
Legacy project management platforms like Monday, Asana, ClickUp, and Jira were designed in a different era—one where teams were centralized, work was linear, and project visibility meant logging into a separate system. These tools were necessary at the time because there were no better options. But today, they’ve become a drag on productivity.
Modern teams:
- Move quickly and communicate constantly
- Work across functions, time zones, and tools
- Live in Slack—not spreadsheets or project dashboards
So what happens? Work gets talked about in Slack but tracked somewhere else—often inconsistently. Teams resort to spreadsheets, DMs, or Post-It notes. Visibility breaks down. Tasks get missed. Leaders have to ask for updates in meetings.
And the cost adds up.
According to Harvard Business Review, knowledge workers spend just under four hours per week reorienting after switching between apps. That’s five full workweeks a year lost to context switching. The more tools you add, the higher the toggling tax becomes. And here’s the irony: project management tools are supposed to increase productivity—not drain it. But when teams are forced to toggle between disconnected platforms just to stay organized, the tool itself becomes part of the problem.
The Old Way:
- Work conversations happen in Slack. While task tracking happens somewhere else (another system, a spreadsheet, or even Post-It notes).
- Team members must context-switch and log into different platforms to update task statuses.
- Adoption suffers. Only a few power users keep tools up to date, and most team members never log in.
- Visibility is fragmented. Leaders rely on status meetings and check-ins to understand progress.
The Chaser Way:
- Work stays where it starts—in Slack. Conversations become tasks in real-time.
- No new platform to learn. No behavior change required. If you use Slack, you already know how to use Chaser.
- Tasks are created and assigned within Slack conversations. Automated reminders ensure follow-ups happen and everyone stays informed.
- Task completion syncs across the team—when it’s done, it’s done.
- Chaser’s dashboard provides an always-updated view by teammate, project, or channel—without extra meetings or manual updates.
Complexity ≠ Value.
Other tools equate more features and complexity with more value. But you don’t need more buttons or views—you need a solution that just works and keeps your team on track. Sometimes, simplicity just wins.
Chaser delivers depth through:
- Turning Slack channels into project spaces with no extra setup.
- Keeping task details and conversations in one place
- Following up automatically so nothing gets lost
- Powerful features like recurring tasks, group assignments, checklists, and more
- Bringing everything together in a single dashboard
From Chaos to Clarity.
Every tool switch comes with a cost—lost time, lost focus, and missed details. Chaser eliminates the toggling tax by letting your team manage tasks where they already work.
Adoption Without the Arm-Twisting.
The best tool is the one your team will actually use. Chaser doesn’t require formal onboarding, setting up new accounts, or process overhauls. It works inside your existing Slack workflow, so teams adopt it naturally.
If your team is buried in updates, chasing next steps, or stuck in tools no one uses—there’s a better way.
Try Chaser. Keep your team on track without leaving Slack.
