LineUp is useless, so is Agenda

Bill Doerrfeld
We just need a prioritized list showing both tasks and reminders. To force the user to have to add an additional step (add something to a lineup) isn't going to work when rapid productivity is needed. To solve the problem of what people or teams need to focus on right now you'd be better off enhancing the way your Agenda and/or Inbox operates by providing the ability to custom sort and filter tasks and reminders there.

To have good agenda in my opinion we need some more data, like discussed here:

Many utilize the LineUp, or MIT approach to tasks, so while it may be useless in your scenario, it is not useless for many others. Same idea with an agenda view.

LineUp is not useless for us. We like it and use it daily in our asynchronous standups in Slack. Each person takes a screenshot of their LineUp at the start of the day and pastes that into our #standups channel in Slack. Works well (other than longer task titles need to wrap to two lines). Each person then annotates that screenshot in Slack (using an addon app called Markup Hero) to denote which of the three tasks were completed (green line), started but still in progress (yellow line), didn't start on it (red line). (Would be cool if we had a 'Share to Slack' feature in ClickUp to make that a .little quicker.)

There is another kind of duplication with the minimize tray and LineUp... I agree one or two general concepts might be better for UX than three or four: https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/link-lineup-with-tray-order
Anyway we should see that people may have different workflows.

I'm new here and it seems that there are so many scattered places / features to access the work I have to do. I haven't thought through how to organize the UX of this software to accomplish my workflow but it just seems like they throw features out without much thought to UX workflow. Maybe they should hire top talent UX designers to think this through.We all work the same yet we all work different. Maybe access to everything in one place and then give us the ability to create our own custom workflow.

Agenda & LineUp can definitely be blended together (+ Inbox perhaps?) It just all feels a bit disjointed currently with features being added on top of others. It may start to get overwhelming & simplicity is key. Maybe in the form of a sorting mode? Tasks with a time Today should always be in order (naturally) & tasks without a time could be put inbetween those with perhaps. Maybe even a day schedule/progress bar (With time-of-day & all) where tasks can sit on, except tasks without times can be dropped in a gap without actually setting it to that time (if that makes sense), so they can remain dynamic & moved around? As Thomas Brown mentions there needs to be a single, clear source for managing Today's tasks. Anyway, some ideas!

I sent this to ClickUp a few days ago and I think it might be appropriate to add here as well. I just realized they added yet another way to prioritize tasks (LineUp) and it's a bit frustrating to me as it doesn't feed into the system we already have. Priority flags, assigned comments, tasks (are the ones that come to mind).
Hey guys I love clickup but since the dawn of my use it really feels like there is no one good unified way of finding what is assigned to me (or for guests what's assigned to them).
This is probably my biggest gripe with the software.
If you can't reliably find what needs to be done in a project management software I think that's a pretty big issue.
Just to point out the issues I see, there is an inbox -> unscheduled section to find things to be done, a me mode, and notifications. All of these in my opinion take far too many clicks to answer that question and none are a single source of truth for answering that question.
This leads me to the issue i'm facing right now. If i add assigned comments to an image (recently released) they don't show up in me mode when i have the assigned comments check box toggled on.
While this i'm sure is a bit of a bug, I think this points to a larger issue with the software.
I hope this does not come as anything other then helpful feedback. I suppose I just feel like the above issue has been a problem for far too long and it really needs to be a top priority.
When we have new users it's always hard to explain to them how and where to look for issues that need tending to.
Sorry for the rant. I appreciate you guys and the software but hopefully this plea for help leads to some improvement on that front :).

The bit I sent was under the first paragraph btw. Sorry that was pretty unclear.

Thomas Brown: Great feedback! We did see your email - but just wanted to let you know we are listening and have plans to improve LineUp, Inbox, etc. A big focus of ours over the next couple of months is going to be making ClickUp as easy to use as possible and I think this feedback falls into that category 🙂

Thomas Brown: THIS times a thousand. I was needing to look at everything we had in the queue coming up, and I feel grossly overwhelmed because there is really no central MY TASKS management tab that really addresses all Tasks, Subtasks, Check lists items, and comments assigned to me. And I was borderline ticked when they released the Lineup feature because, to me, it showed that they were attempting bandaid solutions and moving further away from actually solving core productivity issues with their software. It felt like they were saying "Meh--here you go. Maybe that'll get them off our back long enough so we can add another feature that looks good listed out on our website sales page." Don't get me wrong, I know people want mind-mapping...but c'mon...the very foundation of the program is severely hampering basic usage of a product built around TASK MANAGEMENT.
I'm not gonna lie, every time I hit a wall with productivity in Clickup, I start glancing back over at Asana to see if maybe it's worth some of the extra $$ and trade-offs just to get a my cohesive My Tasks section back, because I'm getting beyond flustered having to create my own workaround solutions just to see what's on the schedule for my other employees (which is borderline impossible to see their task list), as well as mine. The whole Clickup system seems to revolve around assigning everything a due/start date and placing them in a defined space, when honestly, if someone calls me and says "Hey, can you shoot that proof over to me when you get a chance", I need to be able to just slap it in My Tasks without basically filling out a work order or putting it in a whole different category of its own under Reminders. "Reminders", "To Do" items, and "Lineup" items ARE TASKS! They need to naturally work in there so when I look at things I need to do for the day, I'm like "Oh yeah, I'll shoot over that email first." Boom. Checked that task off my list, however small. But with the way it is, it's becoming a mess of different ways to manage tasks because THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE COHESIVE PLACE TO SEE EVERY ITEM ASSIGNED TO ME.
I love that you guys are aggressively developing this software to compete in this space, but I'm getting kind of worried about the future of Clickup without core issues being addressed before feature introductions.

Agree

I kind of agree with this. Lineup -- while I understand it's purpose, is poorly executed. Having to just show it under home is stupid. There should be sorting options for every board. I also don't quite understand why you couldn't just create a view where you drag and drop what you should be worked on next, or a new status,, thus defeating the purpose of using Lineup. I like the idea of how to focus on what's next, because I have a ton of 'open' tasks and I just look at them without direction.

Complete "Home" feature is a write off for me...
I still love the overall platform, but am getting annoyed by the lack of focus...
