Excel is a powerful tool that plays a role in many workflows, but when it comes to project monitoring and impact measurement—especially for multi-partner projects operating under tight timelines and limited resources—Excel often falls short. In this guide, we explore why transitioning to a specialized solution like Kinaki can provide the efficiency, accuracy, and insights that Excel simply can’t match.
Excel’s versatility and widespread use make it a go-to solution for many professionals. Its grid-based interface and formula capabilities are perfect for basic data management tasks.
However, when workflows become more complex, Excel struggles to keep up. Here’s why:
Complexity: Managing large datasets with intricate formulas becomes cumbersome and error-prone.
Scalability: Excel is not designed for handling large-scale data collection and analysis efficiently.
Collaboration Challenges: Sharing and collaborating on Excel files often leads to version control issues and data inconsistencies.
Basic Data Visualization: While Excel offers basic charts, it lacks the advanced visualization features needed for in-depth insights.
