Scheduling tasks for the team and monitoring project spend on Reports. Use it to report sick day, annual leave, all in one place is really helpful. Good for a small team.
There is no way of actually tracking time spent it would be really useful to have a timer so team members can accurately time how long they spend on tasks. At the moment we are all making educated guesses at the end of each day / week. Also not clear how to lock task list after people have already logged into them. Another issue I've found is that creatives can delete projects assigned to them, it would be useful if they could pass it back to the allocator so they are aware the task was unable to be completed.
It helps as PM to allocate tasks for the week ahead so that the creative team can easily see what is ahead.
Simplistic UI PTO Option Calendar Integration (Needs Improvement)
Calendar Integration should be improved in the following area: 1. ability to choose calendars to sync. 2. sync more than one calendar and choose the project each calendar goes into. 3. Only sync current and future events.
Timesheets for billing customers
easy to use, good overview, app functionality
no forecast, not so much functions, search for projects
overview of the staffing of our employee
Time planning. The ease of scheduling team members time.
The ui is a little bit misleading. To much information when you look the calendar
Time scheduling and resourcing
Float is very straightforward and easy to use.
Lack of features limits functionality in tasks, such as scheduling over a time frame that spans more than one day
Streamlines reserving equipment and shows what equipment is available
Float is super good in managing hours utilization and team updates on project allocation. I think it is an easy to use tool. I only manage resources but there are other ways of using Float too.
UI of Float seems old. The Colour scheme needs an update, filter option is sometimes confusing in a way about what to select and from where but overall it is fine and manageable.
I am using Float for solving team resource allocation and adding team members to the required projects. It helps me in guiding a resource about their allocation and project, work etc
keeping track of my day and logging hours spent on projects
occasionally doesn't let me delete projects from my day
saved time logging hours on projects. The team knows what they are working on
Float is incredibly easy to use and integrate into smaller teams. Visually straightforward, it gives you quick and simple answers to essential resource-based questions and allows team members to see what work they should be progressing and when in a tidy calendar view. In addition, there is an easy link between time in the calendar to projects that can be managed quickly.
I do find that compared to some other systems, a level of detail when it comes to finances and budgets vs resource is missing. Whilst you can get some very top-level detail, the ability to link actual time spent versus project budgets is a little simplistic and could be expanded upon to really drill down into more detail to provide better overall reports.
Resource management. The ability to organise team members and ensure they're informed as to their work schedules was quickly and easily done with the use of Float.
Very organized and clean, great to maintain a good workflow overall, Scheduling is made very easy on this software
Can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but super quick to learn
Project scheduling in bigger Teams is as easy as it can be. Scheduling your own day is also very great on this software. It allows you to work in bigger Teams without getting in each others way.
Float is very easy to use and has a nice user interface. Next to that, I really like the fact that you get notified everyday about your daily schedule and every time someone makes changes to your schedule.
It's not completely mobile-friendly. I've got trouble scrolling all the way to the bottom.
It's really easy to see what colleagues are doing everyday. Before, if you couldn't participate in a stand-up, you didn't know what everyone was up to.
I love how easy to use the software is, it is great for new learners and not difficult to understand
I think it would be better to make Float more inclusive to PM and production needs such as budgeting. It would also be better if you could temporarily add users such as freelancers for 30 days.
It is so easy to use and it is great for teams to be able to access this. The guest feature on Float is also great as it lets account managers see live updates.
Board section : Different cards for tasks can be segmented to show updates like done, to do, etc
Sometimes, it is difficult to find the Board section
Communication about the tasks are clear. We can assign the particular person for a task effectively
I like this tool because it only took me a few minutes to figure out how I could plan future work and budget for my team.
It's not always as easy to plan a versy specific amount of time for a task rather than 8hours.
Our team uses float to keep of and plan work for future projects.
Simple, concise layout that let's us see where our assets are being used.
Mobile app has issues, needing login every time being the latest one.
Better top down view of our organization and how we're deploying resources.
The budgeting functionality for each task
UI might need a bit of improvement when dragging a task to completion. Sometimes it unchecks the smaller tasks within the larger one.
