The workflow I created with Notion definitely saved us time so that we could synthesize what we were working on and visualize it versus having a simple checklist or having to track something through chats or emails.

One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad.
