In our previous instalment, we uncovered the myriad of reasons why project managers across the globe hail monday.com as a game-changer in work management tools. Its user-friendly interface, visually appealing boards, and unparalleled adaptability have cemented its status as the go-to platform for enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows.
However, monday.com offers more than just project management capabilities. It has evolved into a versatile tool that caters to various organisational needs such as sales, CRM, marketing, and product development. So who truly stands to benefit from monday.com’s offerings, and how can one unlock its full potential?
At Provident CRM, we understand the importance of addressing these inquiries head-on.

While it may be tempting to create numerous boards for different projects or tasks, Martin advises that less is more when it comes to board management. By consolidating related information into fewer boards, users can enhance visibility, streamline collaboration, and simplify project management processes.
And be sure you’re taking advantage of advanced functionalities offered by monday.com, such as connected boards and mirrored columns. These features enable you to establish relationships between different boards, synchronise data across multiple boards, and maintain consistency in information representation. Watch here to see these features in action at our recent MUG (monday.com User Group) session.
Optimising project management in monday.com requires a combination of strategic planning, leveraging advanced features, and seeking expert guidance. With a partner like Provident CRM, you can uncover hidden features and functionalities within monday.com that may not be immediately apparent, whether it’s implementing custom automations, utilising integrations, or optimising board structures for your specific use cases.
Above, Martin explains that while the abundance of resources available for navigating monday.com, from tutorials to product update articles to newsletters is indeed helpful, generic resources can only take you so far.

Internally, Martin highlights the value of monday.com’s robust collaboration features, such as the ability to comment directly within records. This functionality enables internal teams to stay informed about ongoing activities, track communication history, and maintain visibility into project progress. By centralising communication within monday.com, teams can streamline collaboration and reduce reliance on scattered email chains and disjointed communication channels.
One stand-out feature of monday.com is the ability for companies to invite external users or guests to collaborate on projects free of charge. This opens up a world of possibilities for partnering with third-party vendors, clients, or stakeholders, enabling seamless communication and collaboration across organisational boundaries.
In essence, monday.com empowers both internal and external teams to collaborate effectively, regardless of geographical location or organisational affiliation. By embracing monday.com as a central hub for communication and collaboration, companies can break down silos, foster stronger partnerships, and achieve greater success in today’s dynamic business environment.
Martin highlights that one of the most significant advantages of using monday.com is its ability to automate recurring reporting tasks. By setting up automations, companies can streamline the generation and distribution of reports, eliminating the need for manual intervention and freeing up employees to focus on more strategic tasks.
With monday.com, you can easily create live, up-to-date reporting dashboards that can be automatically shared with designated individuals or teams on a regular basis. No more wasting Friday’s afternoon putting together recurring reports!
monday.com can also automate the generation and sharing of dashboards or reports directly within the platform. Whether it’s distributing weekly performance metrics or sharing project updates with stakeholders, monday.com can automate these processes, saving companies valuable time and effort.
