Flexibility to run projects using any methodology

IT project management needs to be flexible to manage different types of projects with various complexities. You decide how you want to work.,

No need to force-fit your teams to follow one process. You have the flexibility to run projects in an agile, waterfall, or hybrid mode.

Modern views to plan and execute projects better

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to project management. Everyone is different, and everyone on your project team will do things a little differently.

New-gen IT project management comes with multiple modern views. Team members can visualize, slice, and dice the same set of tasks into a timeline (Gantt), kanban, task list, or group views.

Combine the power of Slack & Freshservice

If your team is already using Slack, why not bring your Freshservice projects into the tool too? 

IT agents can now seamlessly collaborate on project tasks with context from the choice of their tool, either Slack or Freshservice. Messages sent on Slack get synced to Freshservice and vice versa thus providing the user’s flexibility to discuss, wherever they are.

Project management for non-agents

Many times, projects include tasks that involve stakeholders from outside of IT (Finance, approvers, or business stakeholders), who are primarily not part of the service desk.

New-gen IT project management comes with project management-only licenses that teams can purchase at an additional cost.
