Stakeholder reports: what to include, who needs what, and how to stop reporting into the void

Every stakeholder report I've written that actually changed a decision had one thing in common: it was built for the person reading it, not the person writing it. That sounds obvious, but in practice, most professional services teams default to a single report template and blast it to everyone from the CEO to the client contact. The result? Leadership skims for the one number they care about. Clients get anxious about details that don't concern them.

Agile metrics that actually tell you something useful

Every agile team I've been part of has gone through the same cycle with metrics. Someone proposes tracking velocity. Someone else adds cycle time. A third person builds a dashboard with fifteen charts. Within two months, nobody looks at any of them. The problem is not a lack of data. It's a lack of clarity about what decisions the data should inform.

How the revenue team at Asana saved $100k a year by automating workflows

When Steven Borobio-Bennett, APJ Programs and Operations Leads at Asana, starts his day, his Slack inbox is already full. Reps and partners from across the region come to him when something needs attention—a deal question, an escalation, a process issue that needs a fast answer. The messages never stop. Steven is the expert they need, but he’s only one person. And when response time slowed down to days, deals slowed down with them.

Employee Performance Review Template: 15 for Managers

Measuring success is a key piece to leading an effective team. After all, you can't improve until you know what skills you need to build. An employee performance review is one of the best ways to identify what's working, and what can be improved. This is also a great opportunity to communicate how a team member is pacing against organizational goals and personal objectives. You can measure success in different ways, from peer reviews to self reviews and different performance evaluations in between.

The 10 client reporting tools that actually save you time

Here's a number that still stops me mid-conversation: 57% of agency professionals spend more time reporting on work than doing the actual work. That's from our Sprint to AI report, and every time I share it, the response is the same slow nod of recognition. I've lived that reality.

Marketing agency software: 15 tools your agency actually needs

Most marketing agencies don't have a tool problem. They have a "too many tools" problem. I've seen it over and over across Teamwork.com customers. An agency starts with a project management app, bolts on a time tracker, and adds a separate invoicing tool. Then nobody can tell whether a retainer is profitable until the quarter ends. According to Teamwork.com's Sprint to AI Report, 58% of professional services teams juggle three to five separate tools just to manage their work.

The best marketing project management software to run campaigns without the chaos

I've spent the better part of a decade managing marketing campaigns for agency clients, and here's what I know for sure: the tool you pick to manage that work matters more than most people think. Pick the wrong one and you're duct-taping spreadsheets to Slack threads. Pick the right one and your team actually ships work on time, on budget, and without the 11 p.m. "where's that deliverable?" panic.
