Collaboration depth
How this is scored
How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.
0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.
3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.
5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.
8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.
10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.
The Enterprise Architect
Shared project work is real here: Gantt views with four dependency types, automatic rescheduling of dependent successors, a critical path and a network diagram, plus cross-project portfolios from the Premium plan and free, unlimited external guests with distinct guest and external roles. What I could not find is any workload or capacity view across people, which is exactly what I need before committing two hundred seats. 6 7 8 9 15
