Traditionally in the software space, we have applications built for us by developers and there’s very little to do out of the box.

These tools we have to learn and use day-to-day. Let’s take a fixed project management tool like Asana, you cannot change it or design it around your team (to some extent you can) but in essence, your team has to adapt to the tool’s toolkit and feel.

The term “modular” refers to the nature of the newest players in the productivity and team tool space right now. These “modular software” changes the way we play the game.

Instead of getting what software is created for you, you would create your own software. We are seeing this increase in the personal productivity space with applications like Notion and with teams too, like Coda, Zenkit and monday.com.

The Biggest Speed Bump

So the biggest speed bump in this market is the knowledge about how to work these tools. Out of the box, they are totally customisable, flexible to whatever work needs you to want.
