I'm excited! Can't believe 30x40 is using Notion!!
Yes, Notion is the next up from Trello. I think Kanban is more useful than Gantt chart, as we're not trying to manage what to do in 2 months, we're only trying to focus on what to do right now. Kanban works like a work tag.
I think Asana and Monday both try to integrate the $$ factor into the project management, but I think higher end software would work better, and necessary when you have HR. With a team of 5, you're not worried about a person's hourly output, but instead simply, what do we need to do next.
Notion is incredibly customizable, but that also means it requires an organized person to also learn the software. It's not difficult, but it's like Lego, you have to build your system.
What I like about Trello or Notion, is that you can have a work tag, for example, "zoning research" and the person can hand off that project to the DD person, with all the important information in one place. For a longer list of notes, Notion does better, as it combines Trello with Evernote. If you are heavy in saving everything into Folders, then Trello would work just fine.
I also think Slack is helpful, as it directs messages by channels. Emails get messy, but a channel can hone in discussions pertaining certain projects. The chat method is also helpful in that you don't need context as you would with emails. Microsoft Teams seems to be the popular choice for those that use Office365.com.

Have you tried Notion? it's a very powerful combination of Evernote, Google Keep, Database and more
Check 30x40 youtube channel and website for his insights on architecture usage. He also provides free templates.
We currently use at our office M-Files, which is more centered toward document control and workflow. Since it's all stored in our server (or in the cloud, if chosen so) working at the office or from home makes no difference at all. Collaboration remained an issue, though.
I'm testing Notion right now, to address those collaboration shortcomings.

We have a small firm of 5. Now that we are working remotely due to Covid-19, efficiency has dropped dramatically. We are actively looking for a new mobile software/app that will allow us to all stay on the same page with each project and help the 2 interns know which task to tackle next - without having to ask. We have a high volume of projects for a small firm with a consistent load of 15 or more projects at any given time so juggling this amount of projects has become very difficult. Any thoughts on Asana/Trello/Monday or something else? Thank you.
