10 project planning software tools I tested for managing client work

Jun 19, 2026 By Jenny Coppola In Teamwork
I spent the better part of a decade juggling client projects across spreadsheets, email threads, and at least three tools that never talked to each other. One Monday morning I realized I'd burned two hours just pulling together a status update for a single account. That was the moment I knew the tools were the problem, not the process.

The best client management software for delivering profitable client work

Jun 19, 2026 By Ben Brigden In Teamwork
I've spent the better part of a decade inside professional services operations. First running delivery at agencies, then joining Teamwork.com to help people learn about the platform I wished I'd had. The pattern I kept hitting was the same: a CRM held the client record, a spreadsheet tracked the budget, and a project tool held the tasks. None of them talked to each other. Every Monday morning started with a frantic reconciliation ritual that ate hours and still left blind spots.

Build vs buy project management software: the true cost for services firms

Jun 19, 2026 By Darren Noble In Teamwork
I get invited to compete against custom builds almost every week now. Not against competitor vendors. Against a team of developers, or increasingly against an AI coding tool and a founder who is good with prompts. It usually starts the same way. A services firm has a workflow that no off-the-shelf product covers perfectly. So they get a quote from a dev shop, or they spin up a build themselves over a weekend.

Automated time tracking: how it works and why your team needs it

Jun 18, 2026 By Ben Brigden In Teamwork
Every professional services team I've been part of has had the same argument at some point: "Why aren't timesheets getting done?" Before I joined Teamwork.com, I spent years managing delivery for agency teams. The answer was always the same. Manual time tracking is painful, so people avoid it. Automated time tracking fixes the root cause by removing the manual work entirely. This guide breaks down how it works, what methods are available, and how to choose an approach that actually sticks with your team.

Resource levelling: what it is, how it works, and when to use it

Jun 17, 2026 By Ben Brigden In Teamwork
I spent the best part of a decade in client services, and have seen firsthand how resource planning can make or break your team and projects. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that most project delays do not start with bad estimates or unclear scope. They start with a resource plan that looks fine on paper but falls apart the moment two projects need the same person on the same day.

Benchmarking for projects: how to measure what matters and close the gap

Jun 17, 2026 By Ben Brigden In Teamwork
A project that finishes on time isn't automatically a project that performed well. I've seen plenty of "green status" projects that quietly burned through margin, overloaded the team, and left the client underwhelmed. Without a reference point, you can't tell the difference between a genuinely healthy project and one that just crossed the finish line.
