Slack is built for fast communication, not task management.
Modern teams live in Slack. It’s where conversations happen, decisions get made, and projects move forward… or at least, they’re supposed to.
But when it comes to actually managing tasks in Slack—assigning ownership, tracking deadlines, and following through—things get messy. Why? Because Slack wasn’t built for project management.
Threads pile up. Priorities get buried. And no one’s quite sure what the next step is—or who’s responsible for taking it.
The result? Lost time, stalled work, and frustrated teams.
According to the 2023 Anatomy of Work report, 60% of a knowledge worker’s day is spent on unproductive conversations, not doing the work, but chasing updates and tracking information.
And that toggling between Slack and external tools? It costs teams nearly five workweeks a year. That’s a 9% productivity hit just from context switching.
Slack Needs More Than Conversations—It Needs Coordination
Slack’s built-in features like “Save for Later” or personal reminders help individuals, but fall short for teams. They lack shared visibility, don’t track ownership, and can’t give managers or teammates a clean view of progress.
The result is fragmented workflows and a backlog of forgotten follow-ups.
