Project Management Tools Are Overcomplicated — Here’s Our Take on Fixing It

By Konstantin, co-founder at Vaiz

Ask any growing team how they manage projects, and you’ll hear a familiar story:

“We have a tool for tasks, another for docs, something else for reporting… and then Slack to hold it all together.”

Somewhere along the way, the promise of “one platform to manage your work” turned into juggling five different ones. Tools got smarter on paper — but heavier in practice. Instead of focusing on their product or clients, teams are stuck maintaining their setup.

We built Vaiz because we were tired of that cycle.

The Real Problem Isn’t Tools — It’s Tool Overload

Modern project management isn’t failing because software is bad. It’s failing because there’s too much of it.

Each platform adds a little friction: new logins, overlapping features, settings to configure, processes to sync. On their own, none of these seem like a big deal. Together, they slow teams down.

We decided to strip this back to what actually matters:

  • Tasks you can track without hunting for them.
  • Docs that live in the same space as your work.
  • Automations that save time without needing an IT degree.

Instead of building yet another all-in-one with everything bolted on, we designed Vaiz to replace the clutter outright.

Less “Tool Learning,” More Actual Work

We’ve all seen tools that require an entire onboarding course before anyone can use them properly. That’s not productivity — that’s homework.

Vaiz is built to be obvious from the start. Set it up in minutes, not days. Use ready-made templates for sprints, content calendars, or hiring pipelines. Skip the tutorials and get back to shipping.

Designed Around Your Workflow (Not Ours)

Most software forces you to adapt your process to fit its structure. We flipped that logic.

Vaiz is flexible by default: customize task fields, tie docs directly to what they relate to, and keep updates in one view. For developers, link GitHub or GitLab commits into tasks automatically. For designers, pull in live Figma files.

It’s everything you need in one place, without being “yet another tool to learn.”

A Lighter Way Forward

At the end of the day, productivity isn’t about feature checklists or endless settings. It’s about reducing friction so teams can focus on building, launching, and iterating.

That’s what we designed Vaiz for: fewer tabs, fewer logins, fewer headaches — and a clearer path to actually getting things done.
