When I think about Flat, I envision a superb dish at an exceptional restaurant. It's like being served the freshest, most meticulously prepared ingredients, artfully presented to captivate the senses. The simplicity of Flat isn't a result of immaturity; rather, it's the deliberate removal of anything extraneous, leaving behind an unparalleled user experience. Flat's greatness lies in its focus—it doesn't attempt to be all things to all people. Unlike Trello after it was acquired by Atlassian, Flat serves as the central hub for your work, rather than trying to encompass the work itself. For a product management solution that even your CEO will use, look no further than Flat, I know from experience.
I love Flat. It's simple. It does everything a project management tool needs to do and doesn't get in my way.
I like the simplicity in Flat. It uses a familiar interface, that's intuitive and fun to work with. I find myself jump around between the list and kanban view - depending on the mode I'm at. For example, during standup we use Kanban + filtering on each person and during review we use the list view. Adding and giving visibility to external collaborators is very simple and useful for us since we have several contractors we regularly work with. The integration with GitHub is key for us and makes it easy to tie between the two. With their recent exposure of their API, it's now very simple to create workflows that even go the extra mile and automate processes. For example, moving tickets between "columns/stages" based on a PR status. My team adopted Flat right from the start. No one complained. I have rarely seen a project management tool with such a wide acceptance. Lastly, the Flat team is very responsive. Not only they respond to feedback, they take prompt action!
Fantastic attention to simplicity and clarity in keeping organized doing work across teams. Its a unique approach that you really have to try out to understand. Great work team!
Flat is the simplest project management tool out there. It truly enables an entire team or entire org to have one source of truth with links to any other sources of information and a clear threaded set of comments. All the features you need and none of the cruft that you don’t. I am anxiously awaiting a mobile app though!
Flat is a simple and easy-to-use work tracking tool that keeps your team on the same page without too much complexity. Flat helps to organize work easily and efficiently without interfering with the process.
Flat makes our team work better together without adding more work. It's an easy-to-use tool so each of us can manage our own work and know what others are focusing on, making it possible to support each other without a lot of back and forth.
Can't say enough great things about the flat team and the product that they've built. Flat exemplifies my project management style of "just enough process" To get the job done with the least amount of busywork. Flat gets out of the way and lets me focus on building my product.
I was initially skeptical about product management tools, but Flat completely changed my perspective. It's incredibly intuitive, striking the perfect balance between simplicity and advanced functionality. For my current project, I use Flat to manage multiple Kanban boards, one for each team, and it seamlessly aggregates data for higher-level product tracking. The integration with GitHub is excellent, enhancing our workflow significantly. Additionally, the responsiveness of the Flat team is impressive—they actively listen to feedback and take prompt action to address any issues or suggestions. Highly recommended!
