I just started on a new team that involves groups/projects in different parts of the state. What project management/collab tools do you recommend? I’m familiar with Basecamp but am open to ideas that will allow brainstorming/ideas along with task-oriented skills. Integration with Smartsheet/data collection a plus. TIA!

Basecamp is a huge no, speaking from experience. Hardly any automation, navigation is confusing and the layout is not user friendly. I recommend Asana and Jira for project management (Monday is ok too)

I used to work with similar group at large corporation. Workfront is the best but expensive and suitable for large corporations.
For creative project manage, I liked teamwork & Wrike.
Both wrike & workfront you can mark the document and comment the change visually.
Lytho is very strong platform as well.
It all depends on the size, budget & nature of the project.
I don’t vote for base camp at all.
Good luck

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but at my last place we used Asana and Google Drive. I think you can export Google Sheets to export tasks and automatically create tasks in Asana (it was part of a higher tier than my employer wanted to pay).

The benefits of it are that it's very remote friendly with dependencies that alert you when you can get started on a project, due dates (including a range) and collaborators for tasks as well as subtasks.

One thing I've wanted to explore and wasn't able to is Clickup, which from what I understand has more integrations.

We also used miro and it was invaluable for things like designing website and newsletter mockups.

We had a Sr. Manager depart from the team and I, among my other teammates, have been working to cover the void. I applied to the Sr. position but was told it would be another year before a promotion could be offered. Considering current responsibilities, work performance, and personal ambition, I feel comfortable in believing that I should have been considered. I have turned down a Sr. position at a direct competitor to stay. How can I bring this subject back up to my supervisor?
