Finding a tool that fit
Kristiania University College set out to find a project management tool that could effectively fulfill its requirements for project oversight and data integration.
Under the leadership of the university's CISO, the team explored popular options including Asana, Wrike, Monday.com, and Smartsheet.
What was breaking
- Simple tools felt like to-do lists Basic task managers lacked the structure needed for real project oversight.
- Complex tools mimicked spreadsheets More powerful options became cumbersome for everyday project management and reporting.
- Celoxis stood out with its structured, robust approach — the team recognized its value quickly during the trial phase.
Celoxis was a game-changer for us. Its flexibility allowed us to tailor it to our specific needs. Accountability became crystal clear. We could assign tasks and monitor progress with ease, which had a significant impact on project outcomes.
