We are currently looking for a tool to organize our startup’s project management and devops all in one tool, so all the slack, trello, jira, bitbucket and so on stuff.
Bu most importantly we need a project management tool that contains tools like a mindmap, a gantt chart, a timeline and dependencies. For example Clickup has these tools or some other comparable saas providers.
I can’t see that you have those tools, or do you have them in your main system or in an app or plugin available in some way or how could we utilize Mattermost and get hold of these extra tools that are essential for our work? If we can get those tools then we would consider moving to Mattermost as our devs actually like it. Please let us know.
Sorry for the late reply, is it safe to assume that you already found a solution? Mattermost has an extensive API which can be used for integrating it into other tools. It also supports incoming and outgoing webhooks. While there is no in-product PM tool, there might be one available that would let itself integrate properly (depending on what type of integration you’re looking at).
Also with the Mattermost App framework it’s relatively easy to create an integration on your own.
That is a really good question and honestly something a lot of startups run into when they outgrow having five or six separate tools for everything. Trying to get Jira, Trello, Bitbucket, and Slack to talk to each other smoothly can feel like building your own mini integration platform.
I have worked with a few teams that needed exactly what you are describing: one tool that combines communication, project management, and visual planning in a single place. Most tools handle part of the puzzle but not the whole thing. ClickUp is solid for flexibility but gets heavy and cluttered over time. Jira is great for development tracking but not so friendly for non tech teammates. Trello is easy but lacks structure once you start managing dependencies or timelines.
Celoxis is one of the few tools I have tried that actually balances both. It has Gantt charts, timelines, dependencies, resource allocation, and reporting built in without needing plugins. You can also integrate with dev tools like Git and Slack which keeps everything connected. What I really liked was that you can manage dev work, planning, and even portfolio level tracking all in one space instead of jumping between different apps.
If you are looking for something that can scale with your team, it is worth trying a system that already includes those visualization and dependency tools natively rather than stitching together multiple add ons. It keeps things faster and a lot easier to maintain as your startup grows.
