thank you all

I’ve tried a few different ones for planning and scheduling. PowerPoint definitely works for visuals, but it’s not built for real scheduling — so it gets frustrating fast. Smartsheet is a good step up — it’s intuitive, easy to edit, and handles timelines & tasks much better than presentation tools. I’ve used Microsoft Project too — it’s solid for basic scheduling and dependencies, but it can feel clunky if you’re not doing heavy project planning. Primavera is powerful, especially for construction and complex projects, but it does take time to learn — a lot of people call it an “art form” because of the steep curve. Other popular ones people often use: - Asana / Trello — great for task boards and team workflows - Monday.com — visual and user-friendly - ClickUp — flexible with a mix of boards, lists, and timelines If you need something intuitive but stronger than PowerPoint, Smartsheet or Monday tend to hit the sweet spot. Primavera is excellent for heavyweight scheduling but not ideal if all you need is day-to-day planning.
