Project management automation lacks OR logic and suffers execution lag
Monday.com and similar PM tools restrict automation rules to AND-only conditional logic, blocking complex cross-team workflows that require OR branching. Automation execution also lags under load, making time-sensitive triggers unreliable. These constraints force teams into manual workarounds or expensive integrations with dedicated automation platforms.
