Productive Monthly Updates: September

Time flies and we’ve already stepped into the last quarter of this turbulent year.

Here at Productive, things are moving rapidly, too.

In September, we paired updates scheduled in our public roadmap and the feedback we received from our customers and delivered time and money-saving features. Let’s have a look.

In the next couple of months, we’re preparing the following new updates:

All these improvements are going to help you run a more efficient and productive team. For any questions, reach out to our Customer Support.
