Overview
Project management tool focused on visual collaboration, combining kanban boards with creative asset management for design teams.
Archie's take
Playbook is a standout choice for creative teams—especially designers and agencies—who need a visually-driven project management tool that goes beyond basic kanban boards. Its real edge is the seamless integration of creative asset management, with automatic tagging and categorization that saves hours of manual work and keeps visual projects organized. However, Playbook is less suited for teams needing deep task dependencies, complex reporting, or non-visual workflows, and it may not scale as well for large enterprises with highly customized project management needs. Pricing is competitive for small to mid-sized teams, but larger organizations should weigh the value of its creative-centric features against more robust, enterprise-grade PM platforms.

Other considerations
Support Complexity
Playbook is easy to implement with minimal onboarding, thanks to its intuitive interface and automated asset organization, but teams with complex workflows may need some customization.
Team Structure
Best suited for teams with designers, creative leads, and project managers; minimal IT involvement required unless integrating with other enterprise tools.
Volume
Handles large volumes of creative assets well, but may hit limitations with extremely high user counts or non-visual project types.
