We are a small team with reasonable headcount and budget. We’re looking to have an app, free preferable to begin with, for tracking followups and manage stakeholders. It’s a big help if the app comes with some calendar or to-do features.

Hi @CNS_stimulant

Trello is my top pick for simplicity. It uses visual boards to track tasks. You can create a card for each stakeholder and add checklists and due dates for your follow-ups in seconds.

Asana is better if you prefer a traditional to-do list format. It handles dates and complex sub-tasks very well, making it great for tracking specific follow-up schedules.

Hope this helps!

Hey @CNS_stimulant! If you’re looking for a single tool to start with, I’d recommend ClickUp. It has a solid free plan, lets small teams track follow-ups easily, and includes built-in calendar and to-do features so you can manage stakeholders and tasks in one place.

If this helps, please Like or mark as Solution :blush:.
