ClickUp project structures are so nested and complex that team members routinely fail to locate the information they need without help. The information architecture does not scale with project or team growth, creating bottlenecks where only project owners can reliably navigate. Search and hierarchy tools are insufficient to compensate.

ClickUp overwhelming new users with excessive fields and poor navigation
