"Team scheduling done right."
What do you like best about Float?

The sheer visability a manager or team member has over department tasks as well has being able to see from a glance what tasks are complete or outstanding by individual members.

What do you dislike about Float?

Time tracking can be a pain without a running timer like Clockify or Toggl - manually entering time for tasks proves to not be as fully accurate so this would be a nice addition.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without a tool like Float, we'd ultimately struggle to get a clear oversight on how tasks are performing and which are done or outstanding. It also allows to see how much capacity we're utilising also!

"After some time using float"
What do you like best about Float?

It's very easy to set up and use float. we created the accounts, added the persons and we were up and running jn a matter of minutes. Also for new people the tool doesn't really need any training, it's self explaining

What do you dislike about Float?

I wish the overview could show the location of the task also for example: project y: at the office, project x: from home etc.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

We get a nice overview of which people are working on which projects on which days and when we have available space for customers.

"Float provides a tool to visualise team members' work load for easier management of resources."
What do you like best about Float?

Tiered access based on level in the company. Ease of use when allocating tasks and making modifucations.

What do you dislike about Float?

Cannot condense everyone's schedule into one page for easier view. Sometimes the way how filter works is not very clear or intuitive, things get complicated when having multiple filters in.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Fload, we can now see the tasks each person is working on with greater transparency. Can easily see who is busy and who is not. People would have clear direction of what tasks they will be doing.

"best project planning and resource management software"
What do you like best about Float?

I work in consulting and manage a team of 6 consultants. I find Float really useful to be able to manage scheduling for my team as well as forward plan based on upcoming work and team availability. I also work with a wider team and need to be across what other projects are happening and where my wider team might have upcoming availability that I might be able to use for my upcoming projects. I can use tags to be able to filter based on my preferance, i find this feature extremely helpful.

What do you dislike about Float?

I can't really think of any. It works as it should for my needs. It has an intuitive user interface and super easy to use.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float takes care of all of my project management and resource management needs. It is the one place i can go to to keep an eye on the projects that my team is working on, and to see what the next 6-8 weeks looks like for my team and assign work/projects accordingly.

"Float for Creatives"
What do you like best about Float?

What I like about float is making it easier to organize, plan, move things around. It's also very colorful which makes my calendar looks very interesting :) It's just so cool!

What do you dislike about Float?

I think the only downside I can see is, it's not sync with outlook so I don't need to update my calendar on both applications. This way, I'll save more time and it's easier to look at it on both if it's both sync at the same time.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's great in seeing the work timeline of myself and the team. But I think it's easier to the administrator in assigning task for the whole team. I'ts easy to identify if the person is available or not.

"Float - helpful PM tool"
What do you like best about Float?

It is a great tool to be integrated with jira - it works well for our team, it's a seamless, smooth integration that helps us estimate time & choose the right resource for any jira tasks. It is also easy to follow by the users who are marking tasks "complete", adding comments, mark bookings as tentative. All very clear and transparent.

What do you dislike about Float?

The integration with google calendar doesn't work that well. Some of the bookings are wrong / outdated / are not being updated / duplicated / not being displayed in a correct project or are missing. Luckily, the support team is open to help with this kind of issues. Also, the annoying feature is that the "View in jira" link doesn't work for duplicated bookings. It doesn't work for our team as more people use the same tasks on jira in different time. It's impossible to search using the jira ticket number (you have to know the ticket name). Also, ticket numbers are not displayed in the “Task” field- that causes some confusion because we work with tasks with similar names.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

capacity planning, transparent overview of jira tickets and their complexity / status, prioritisation
