Slack

Really does take the cake when it comes to company wide communication. Integrations and automations (Zoom, Around, Linear, Figma, etc) to make things easier to view, monitor, and/or take action on.

It’s the most powerful and effective tool I use every single day.

Zoom

The easiest and most reliable video/audio conferencing software I’ve ever used, period.

Notion

I quickly realized Notion is one of the most flexible “productivity” apps that I’ve ever used — one piece of software to take meeting notes, write requirements, connect pieces of data between pages and tables, and much more. I use Notion multiple times a day and actually look forward to the experience.

Otter.ai

Interesting tool that helps me record (audio only) and transcribe important meetings.

Hotjar

Allows for playback session of users sessions and makes it extremely easy to gather feedback from actual users.

Linear

The better task management tools I’ve used in my PM career — I call it JIRA’s hipster, younger brother. It’s straightforward and makes sense to track software development projects, software bugs, roadmaps, etc.

Whimsical

My preferred tool for wireframing, process documentation, prototyping, etc. It’s extremely simple while remaining wildly flexible and collaborative.

A good project manager also has to have a standing desk.
