HubSpot has added a new Project object that lets teams organize work inside the CRM instead of relying on outside tools. It includes a Gantt chart view that shows timelines, task sequencing, and dependencies at a glance.
This update aligns with what we push for every day with clients. Tools should make life easier, not pile on more work.
Many teams juggle projects in tools that never touch the CRM. Timelines live in one place. Tasks live in another. Notes live somewhere else entirely. When everything is split across platforms, it becomes hard to see the big picture and even harder to keep things moving.
Bringing project planning into HubSpot, in theory, removes some of that friction. The real question is whether this is something worth your time in its current state. In our opinion, it is not a magic fix, but it is a practical improvement for anyone who wants fewer moving parts and fewer headaches. You shouldn’t toss your existing project management software yet. It is a helpful step forward but still needs more development before it can replace dedicated tools.
