Setting it up in Notion
- Create a database, add the fields as properties, save it as a template inside notion.
- Add your own columns/fields for your process.
- Save as your team’s master copy — clones get filled, the master stays clean.
- Share with the team — in Notion that means the standard share/invite flow.
Making the most of it in Notion
- Use Notion’s strengths — a database with custom properties is where it shines.
- Keep fields lean; unused columns get deleted.
- For live project work, move it into Doitify — templates in your PM tool stay current while Notion copies drift apart.
When Notion isn’t enough
Notion is great for the document version. When the work is live — owners, dates, status — a PM tool like Doitify keeps it updated automatically.
