PALO ALTO, Calif., May 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ ClickUp, a revolutionary project management platform released today, boasts the best elements from popular project management platforms like Trello, JIRA, and Asana. However, unlike the competition Click Up is also using AI and machine learning to set a higher bar for what project management software can be. While deadlines and time estimates are never right, Clickup pours data into proprietary machine learning algorithms to reduce (and potentially eliminate) human error related to making project estimates.

Another key aspect of the tool is the way in which it leverages the best features of existing platforms to create a solution unlike anything seen previously.
