I don’t love using most project management systems. I’ve HEAVILY tested all of the major platforms and have been using asana for years now. Once you’re on a system and your team learns how to use it, it’s very difficult to switch. So leaving asana has always been on the “someday” list.

Over the years, I’ve purchased several lifetime licenses to various project management systems here in appsumo but when I eventually got into building it out, I’d find out that it’s missing a very important feature for my workflows.

I’m happy to say that’s not a problem with dart. One of the main features we use that I don’t see many people talk about is subtask dependencies.

I’m not kidding when I say NONE of the appsumo PMs I’ve tested had this feature but it’s critical for our workflows.

When I got Dart, I immediately checked to see if it had task dependencies and subtask dependencies and it does (among many other incredible features that I talk more about below).

I have heavily heavily tested and researched project management systems includingall of the big ones.

I spent some time building out usemotion which allows you to build out work flows, but it is extremely set up intensive and they only accept yearly billing. So when you sign up, you have to pay like $800 for every team member you have. Needless to say I continued using asana.

I also spent a lot of time building out, click up, but the learning curve is so steep that it was too much of a thing to try to have people learn how to use this entirely new system.

I have tested and researched basically every large PM software out there…

Dart is the FIRST project management system that I’ve ever opened up without reading any documentation and immediately knew how to use almost every feature.

If you have ever used any of the big project managers out there, you know that it’s basically impossible to use them without reading the documentation and spending a significant amount of time watching YouTube videos and reading their documentation - and even after all that you usually end up hiring someone to set things up for you.

Dart on the other hand is super intuitive. It could not be easier to set things up. It has all of the features you want and need and it’s built with AI from the ground up.

How this differs from click up and asana is that both of these project management systems (and all of the other ones) are essentially trying to bolt AI onto their systems. So AI is not integrated into the software nearly as seamlessly or as effectively as it is with Dart. They’re also not nearly as flexible or as effective as dart.

What does that look like in the real world?

There’s an AI button you can click at any time to chat with an AI that can basically do anything you want inside of Dart. You can tell it to create a new project, a new template, make these tasks dependent on each other, send notifications, give it your schedule and task list to have it immediately create tasks and sub task tasks and dependencies for every item on there, etc. I mean, whatever you want it to do this thing does it seamlessly every single time.

Not only that the AI can actually DO tasks for you. Let me say that again, your project management system can actually EXECUTE TASKS FOR YOU! 🤯

Need a blog? Social posts? Need reminders when something is running behind? Want your system to automatically execute complicated multi step processes? Not a problem for dart (make sure to get at least tier 4, so you have Web hooks and API access).

This software is genuinely incredible and completely customizable. It has extremely useful dashboards with all of the metrics on your team so you can see who gets their work done, who is routinely behind, and so much more.

It also has customized views that you can create, which are essentially filtered dashboards that show whatever metrics or team data you want.

Normally, I’m not this enthusiastic about software - but as someone who has spent far too much time trying to find a flexible project management software, this one’s genuinely exceptional.

I think this is going to be the new market leader and if you don’t get this deal, you’ll be kicking yourself later. Fair warning.
