This is a YouTube video titled "Ascend Boosts Team Adoption of Their Project Management System With Carefully Designed Processes" featuring Ann Shenton, CEO of Ascend Strategy and Design, discussing how their agency improved adoption of project management tools, particularly ClickUp, by thoughtfully structuring processes to support a distributed team model post-Covid. The content is a monologue or testimonial rather than a multi-speaker conversation.
Hi, I'm Ann Shenton. I'm the CEO of Ascend Strategy and Design. We had been through many other project management tools, as I'm sure a lot of agencies have, and of course, none of them quite fit our needs in the way that we needed to. And as a result of that, adoption of these tools was pretty low, you know, across the agency. And, and as our team became remote again, like a lot of agencies during and after Covid, we moved to a more distributed model for our agency structure, and it was no longer feasible for us to have a project management tool that wasn't being adopted across the organization. What Zenpilot really helped us to accomplish within ClickUp was to be very thoughtful and intentional about how we build out and structure our processes. This morning we had our weekly standup call and, you know, we're a few weeks into using ClickUp now and asked for feedback as far as how, you know, we thought things were going with the team with ClickUp and got some really great comments, you know, especially from those who have not been the adopters of our project management tools in the past. Those were the folks that chimed in and commented on how well the tool was working and how much they, you know, have enjoyed having the switch to. To ClickUp. And that was probably, you know, the best best comment I could have.
