Teamwork Spaces

Shared folders are full of documents that nobody opens, and Teamwork Spaces is meant to change that. It is a content collaboration workspace in the Teamwork family of products, designed so that important documents are read and discussed instead of filed away.

Making sure documents are read

Required reading marks the documents a team member is expected to open, which keeps people engaged with policies, briefs and other material. The interface is described as simple to navigate. Colleagues can comment inline on a particular passage, so a discussion happens where the text appears rather than in a separate chat.

Live widgets

Smart elements, called live widgets, can be placed in a document. This gives a page more than static text, letting a document stay current alongside the work it describes.

Where it fits in the Teamwork range

Spaces is positioned as one of several products that can be added to a project management setup, alongside CRM, Desk and Chat, for teams that want to grow when they are ready. The main Teamwork platform covers projects and client work, with time tracking, budgeting, resource allocation, milestones and templates for marketing, operations, creative, engineering and IT work. It integrates with other tools a team uses and can import tasks and projects.

The company says its tools are meant to replace crossed wires, unread chat messages and endless email by keeping clients, teammates and leadership in real-time collaboration, and to keep client work on track without scope creep.

The current direction

The company's site now describes the platform as AI-powered professional services automation. It covers resourcing, project profitability, reporting, quotes and CRM, with live margin visible from quote to invoice, and the company says more than 20,000 firms use it. These tools are aimed at agencies and other client-service firms.
