Without standardized statuses and custom fields in ClickUp, your workspace becomes chaotic and you can't build unified dashboards. The speaker shows how standardization fixes this and makes project management actually work across your team.
What does chaotic agency project management look like, not having standardization when it comes to things like statuses or custom fields? Oftentimes I'll get into a ClickUp workspace, and they have different statuses for every client or every different space in their ClickUp workspace. In that, like, people don't think about it now. And then when they go to create a view at the everything level, or they go to a dashboard, they're like, oh, wow, this is way harder than I thought it would be to actually get a good view, because I try to filter or sort or add some settings within that view. And I'm like, there's a hundred different statuses because they're different every single location within your ClickUp workspace, and that is just not what you want to do. So if you have statuses out the wazoo and there's just no standardization there, then it's going to be very chaotic.
