"Invaluable Tool"
What do you like best about Float?

Float has made daily scheduling and project management a far simpler process, it is simple and aesthetically designed. The layout makes it easy to see both my own schedule, and that of my team

What do you dislike about Float?

Sometimes the integration with 3rd party apps such as Asana is a bit clunky, but on the whole there is very little to complain about. Some more customisation options for the colour scheme etc. might be nice.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float has made daily scheduling and project management a far simpler process, a shot planing session at the start of the day/week sets up my schedule for the week and allows me to plan in detail.

"Intuitive and easy to use"
What do you like best about Float?

Intuitive and easy to use with a friendly UI in both mobile and web interfaces. Using Float has given our team insight on unused capacity and improved team scheduling.

What do you dislike about Float?

Does not have native integrations with MS Project, so the export then import function is fumbly to use. Works better as a resource scheduling tool (which it is) than a project management tool (which it is not).

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to using Float our team depended on after-the-fact time reporting on an Excel sheet and had limited vision on future capacity to take on new projects. Float is providing both real-time resource tracking and future capacity insights, allowing multiple projects to be coordinated and future planned. We are tracking 18 simultaneous projects and 7 future projects with Float for a 6 person project team. Float's reporting is giving upper management valuable insight into time spent and team capacity, allowing long term planning and reprioritization based on available resources.

"Simple awesome project management tool and easy to use!"
What do you like best about Float?

"Excellent App for Project Management"

With each department growing in size, it was getting difficult to keep track of who was working on what. Float is a great tool to help with that issue.
