When crises hit, teams grapple with urgent questions: “What’s critical now?” “Who’s handling this?” “Are approvals stalled?” These pressures lead to:
- Fragmented updates across emails, chats, and scattered docs
- Lack of centralized visibility into progress and roadblocks
- Approval bottlenecks delaying vital actions
- Teams waiting on unclear priorities
