At its simplest, Slack is a channel-based chat tool that many agencies and client services teams use to discuss issues in real-time. Instead of relying on buried email threads, phone calls, or carrier pigeons, Slack has become a popular tool for one-to-one business messaging, private group chat, voice and video calls, and inter-business collaboration via Slack Connect.
You don’t have to be a project manager to experience the challenges that come with handling projects from start to finish. Owners and agency leaders, like you, run into project management challenges on a regular. And it doesn’t matter if you’re large enough to have in-house project managers or handle those functions yourself.

With so much time tied up in manual processes, task management quickly turns into a task of its own. Whether it’s recreating tasks or reassigning duties, projects with similar structures, teams, or timelines require a lot of duplicate actions. But you shouldn’t have to spend that excess time on duplicate work!
HubSpot is a powerful CRM and suite of digital marketing tools that thousands of companies use to coordinate their digital marketing and customer relationship efforts. It’s a highly versatile platform, but of course, it doesn’t do everything your business needs to do. Many of the other tools you rely on (project management software, for one) need to access information within HubSpot or interact with it in some way.
It doesn’t matter how much time you spend planning a project, creating proposals, or talking to your client—if you don’t get your project cost estimation right, all of your hard work will be for nothing. Project cost estimations help you predict how much you should charge a client for an upcoming project.

IT project management is no joke. Among PM roles, it’s easily one of the most demanding and involves seriously high stakes. Why? Because IT projects are complex and expensive.
