I saw this post from the r/Airtable subreddit and was interested to get our Community’s thoughts on Airtable as a solution to the goal identified by the user.
From the Reddit post:
Hey guys, I have been using Notion for well over 6 years and I have toted its amazingness for all of those years. However, it has come to the point that I simply need to be able to print a Gantt chart or timeline view straight from the software and it just does not do that. I have asked Notion support 15+ times over those 6 years and I get the same response every time.
I have 10 users and we manage around 30 projects in the construction industry at any given time. In Notion I have a database of our projects with properties for information regarding those projects as well as a separate database for just task tracking. The task database has a relation back to those projects so if something is added anywhere its always included in the one database. I've stuck with this format of task tracking purely because the majority of my team members are experienced and responsible for adding in their own tasks and timeframes. Although I am the manager I too have to lead my own projects and oversee theirs so I do not have the time to add in their tasks for them or else I would use Microsoft Projects probably.
These projects always have a similar starting point so itd be nice to have the ability to prepopulate tasks but once these projects get going tasks come in at random so we need to be able to add them to our boards as needed.
I appreciate any feedback!
What do we think? :)
