What’s different about Leantime compared to the other tools out there?

TLDR: We go beyond traditional “issue” management and connect the why & vision to the daily work and then we build features with cognitive accessibility in mind.

We build for intrinsic motivation / dopamine. We simplify project management into the best practices and in digestable pieces and then we use AI to keep us engaged with the work.—–

We think of project management as something that people do naturally — we can all plan a trip across state lines, organize a wedding, etc. What we don’t do naturally? Apply formal project management principles to planning that trip — and that’s largely because the approaches of project management practices haven’t really been accessible. You have to get an MBA, PMP, or we’re simply too busy to get to learning them… and we learn as we go.

Our goal here is to normalize the project management experience and bring the best of those practices into something people can grasp, use and benefit from immediately… and then take it a step farther and build something that is ADHD friendly, promotes dopamine and intrinsic motivation through science based principles, and lastly, reconnect the why and the vision to the daily work we do.

The other tools really focus on “operational” work or task/issue management. Project management is about the entire work life cycle — dreaming of something you want to accomplish, determining the steps to get there, implementing those steps, seeing the progress and results to stay motivated, and then making it happen.
