Been a while since I had org power at a company.
Writing is very easy, no wrestling with fonts and markdown. Tagging is easy. Multiple people editing the same screen is great! We use Confluence to update holidays and weekly sync documents, as well as debating some technical proposals. We share thoughts and ideas, and it's easy to sort or even add memes. It works better as documentation than say GDocs or Word.
The killer feature is search. It's good enough to just trust. Sometimes someone in another department has written a tutorial on how to do Slack bots and stuff, and a search will reveal it.
Having both a knowledge base and project management tool combined is tricky.
Obsidian is a popular tool for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and with the dataview and kanban plugins can be utilised for project management as well... while that would work functionally, it has a learning curve.
If you were interest in separate tools I might suggest Obsidian for PKM and something like Airtable for project management. Perhaps then letting some of the more technical teams dabble in the task management features of Obsidian.
It is a great PM tool if you apply Bullet Proof Workspace[1] and great at documents and collaboration.
I can’t think of a better tool that has both. Please let us know if you can find one.
If you break it into multiple tools, where you use one for PM and another for organization you’ll probably find better alternatives out there.
The learning curve is higher than both Obsidian and Notion. But the payoff is huge especially when it comes to knowledgebase (pkm).
