Stop Missed Deadlines and Scattered Tasks With Project Management Software

Here is how the Updoot project manager works for managers and the employees doing the work.

Project Management Starts Here

Your execution system for tracking work, owners, deadlines, and delivery.

Project management dashboard showing projects, tasks, owners, and deadlines

Project management may start with a project brief. Capture the goal, scope, milestones and tasks before any work begins, and ask Doot, the AI assistant built into Updoot, to help fill it in so you never start from a blank page.

When a project needs sign-off, submit the brief for approval. The approver is notified, reviews it and approves it, and only then does it become a live project. The approval process is optional, so for smaller jobs you can skip the brief and add a new project directly.

Every project has clear owners and assignees, so everyone knows who is responsible for what, and assigned projects show up on each person's own dashboard. Track deadlines and keep every task moving forward in the view that fits how you work: Table, Calendar, Kanban or Timeline (Gantt).

Teams stay aligned with clear priorities, progress visibility, and built-in accountability. Every project connects directly into time tracking, billing, SOPs, and performance tools so work is always tied to impact and outcomes.

The Employee Hub for Managing Projects

Where every employee sees their projects, tasks and updates in one click.

The Employee Hub is where your team starts every workday, and their projects are front and center. Each employee instantly sees the projects and tasks assigned to them, what is due and what needs attention today, right next to their clock-in and schedule.

When a new project is created and an employee is assigned as an owner, they get a notification right away, so no one finds out about new work days later. The project lands on their own dashboard automatically.

Anyone can tag a teammate with @ in the project notes to pull them into the conversation, and the tagged person is notified immediately. Approvers are notified the moment a project brief is waiting on them.

Employees can prioritize their work, track time against each project and share progress in real time, so managers always know what is moving forward and what needs attention.

Create Custom Project Templates

Repeatable workflows that help your team execute faster, every time.

Project template dashboard for managing repeatable tasks, workflows, and team execution

Project Templates give small businesses a faster way to run work without reinventing the wheel.

Start instantly with premade project workflows for common business needs, or build your own templates to match how your company actually operates -- including tasks, owners, timelines, and priorities.

Instead of setting up the same projects over and over, templates let your team launch repeatable work in seconds, keeping execution consistent, organized, and accountable.

Every template connects directly into your Command Center, tying project progress into time tracking, billing, reporting, SOPs, and the systems required to scale operations smoothly.

Set Up Project Management Software in Minutes

No setup project, no consultant and no IT department. Updoot's project manager connects planning to execution -- create a project, assign owners and deadlines, track progress in real time, and tie completed work directly to time tracking and invoicing without touching a spreadsheet.
