While building FlowGrid, I noticed that many small teams continue to use spreadsheets for planning, even when they have access to dedicated tools. If you're one of them, what keeps you using spreadsheets?

• Flexibility?

• Familiarity?

• Cost?

• Missing features in existing tools?

I'm curious what would make you switch.

Many planning and project management tools assume that every team member has the same availability. In reality, small teams often include a mix of full-time and part-time staff, contractors, flexible schedules, holidays, and planned leave. As a result, a team of ten people rarely has the capacity of ten full-time employees.

How does your team currently answer questions like:

Can we take on another project?
Who has capacity available next month?
Are we overcommitting certain team members?
How do you estimate your team's true capacity?

Many tools are excellent at recording hours after the fact.

What's the one thing you wish your current tool did better?

I'd love to learn where people feel existing solutions fall short.
