Worksection vs Telegram: Which tool is better for work organization

1. Work­flow struc­tur­ing. Work­sec­tion allows you to divide your busi­ness into sep­a­rate projects, so you don’t have to deal with cus­tomer pay­ments and milk pur­chas­es in the same room. 
2. Exten­sive project and task cus­tomiza­tion. Work­sec­tion’s task man­ag­er allows you to cre­ate projects, tasks and sub­tasks, assign a respon­si­ble per­son, set pri­or­i­ties, tags and sta­tus­es. Every area of respon­si­bil­i­ty is under control. 
3. Cen­tral­ized data access. Work­sec­tion helps you col­lect and orga­nize infor­ma­tion with­in a project or task. Attach files to tasks to auto­mat­i­cal­ly store them in the appro­pri­ate project with access for the entire team.
4. Client com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Invite your clients into the project to main­tain trans­paren­cy as you work on the project.
5. Man­age access to infor­ma­tion. With sys­tem per­mis­sions and addi­tion­al pri­va­cy set­tings, you can ensure the con­fi­den­tial­i­ty of infor­ma­tion when engag­ing third parties.

1. Lack of tem­plates. Work­sec­tion does not pro­vide tem­plates for projects. 
2. Low lev­el of cus­tomiza­tion. If you are look­ing for a ful­ly cus­tomiz­able ser­vice, you should con­sid­er oth­er options. 

Rat­ings on catalogs

1. Instant infor­ma­tion exchange. Chats pro­vide rapid inter­ac­tion that allows you to resolve issues quick­ly. For exam­ple, in a cri­sis sit­u­a­tion, team updates hap­pen in seconds. 
2. Avail­abil­i­ty across plat­forms and devices. Chats can be used on com­put­ers as well as smart­phones. For exam­ple, Slack and Microsoft Teams have mobile apps that let you stay in touch from anywhere.
3. File shar­ing. In a chat, you can quick­ly send a pre­sen­ta­tion to a client or share a report on your work with colleagues.

Lim­i­ta­tions:

1. Data over­load. In chat, it’s easy to lose an impor­tant mes­sage or doc­u­ment among hun­dreds of less impor­tant ones.
2. Lim­it­ed abil­i­ty to orga­nize and struc­ture tasks. In most chats, it’s dif­fi­cult to cre­ate a task hier­ar­chy, set dead­lines, and assign respon­si­bil­i­ties, mak­ing it dif­fi­cult to track progress and com­plete tasks.
3. Restric­tions on man­ag­ing access to infor­ma­tion, which can lead to pri­va­cy issues. 

• You have a team of 10 to 100 peo­ple. Work­sec­tion is ide­al for small and medi­um-sized busi­ness­es and pro­vides all the tools you need to orga­nize work.
• Look­ing for a sys­tem for struc­tured work. Work­sec­tion has a struc­ture divid­ed into projects with tasks and sub­tasks of sev­er­al lev­els, which helps you con­trol tasks. Adding tags, sta­tus­es, and pri­or­i­ties keeps all process­es under con­trol and ensures efficiency.
• You want to start work­ing on an hourly basis. Cal­cu­late accu­rate project costs and your prof­it with Work­sec­tion’s resource con­trol tools. The time track­er allows you to record the real time of tasks, and auto­mat­ed report­ing col­lects them in one place for easy analytics. 
• You need project man­age­ment tools such as kan­ban or Gantt chart. Work­sec­tion’s kan­ban board and Gantt chart are one way to visu­al­ize your tasks with­in a project. This sim­pli­fies the work­flow to two steps: cre­ate tasks and dis­play them in the for­mat you require.
  
  

It is bet­ter to con­sid­er servise alter­na­tives if

• You are look­ing for a solu­tion with a high lev­el of automa­tion and tem­plates. By imple­ment­ing Work­sec­tion, you don’t get ready-made tem­plates or access to com­plex busi­ness process automation.
• You are not ready to pay for the sys­tem. Work­sec­tion is a paid ser­vice. If you’re not ready to invest in a project man­age­ment sys­tem, it’s bet­ter to con­sid­er free options. 

Chats

Chats are suit­able for you if

• You have a team of up to 5 peo­ple with sim­ple line tasks. Chats will be an effec­tive way to quick­ly coor­di­nate actions and exchange infor­ma­tion for small teams with sim­ple tasks. 
• You are look­ing for a real-time com­mu­ni­ca­tion solu­tion. Chats allow you to exchange mes­sages instant­ly, which helps you respond quick­ly to changes.
• You have a small bud­get for sys­tem imple­men­ta­tion. Mes­sen­gers like Telegram and What­sApp have free plans. This makes them afford­able for teams with lim­it­ed finances.

Chats won’t work for you if

• You have com­plex, mul­ti-lev­el work­flows. Chats may not be func­tion­al enough if your projects require com­plex plan­ning, task dis­tri­b­u­tion, and exe­cu­tion con­trol at dif­fer­ent stages.
• You need a ser­vice with built-in project man­age­ment tools. Chats don’t have project man­age­ment tools like kan­ban boards, Gantt charts, time track­ers, etc. For this, it’s bet­ter to use spe­cial­ized services. 
• You want to cen­tral­ize all infor­ma­tion in one place. In chats, it is dif­fi­cult to pro­vide easy access to infor­ma­tion for the entire team. Infor­ma­tion over­load and lack of struc­ture leads to the loss of impor­tant data.
• You need to com­mu­ni­cate trans­par­ent­ly with the client based on report­ing. Chats do not pro­vide the prop­er lev­el of account­abil­i­ty and trans­paren­cy. There­fore, it is bet­ter to use ser­vices where you can give clients access to cer­tain parts of the project and reports.
