Synced Databases let you pull information from 3rd party apps like GitHub and Jira into Notion, and break down silos across teams.

Product managers can use the product requirement document format on Notion to better collaborate with teammates and streamline communication across large, cross-functional teams.

Centralize all the cross-functional work your product team does using one system for project management and roadmapping. Focus on what your team is executing now — and plan for what’s next.

Teams often have data sets that need to be sliced many ways — whether it’s a shared company roadmap or list of project tasks. Database views give your team the power to customize how they see this data, and quickly bring up what they need.

Design projects come in all shapes and sizes, from a logo tweak to an entire design system overhaul. This system in Notion brings all the tools and teams together so designers can focus on the work at hand — instead of project management overheard.

A single system can manage every aspect of every project your engineering team is executing. In Notion, all the project work lives side-by-side deadlines and updates — saving you time bouncing between tools.

Link previews unite teams by giving them access to scattered information they need to execute — without ever leaving Notion.

Notion can be your agency’s hub, both for internal project management and all client-facing work. You can use this system to make sure information is accessible and projects stay on track.

In this guide we’ll break down what’s new with databases, and how you can make the most of them — on your own, or with a team.

Timeline is a new type of Notion database that’s way more than a Gantt chart. It gives you complete flexibility to scope projects, adjust their timelines, and customize your workflow.

Link previews gather information from other tools — helping you collaborate with cross functional teams and make quick decisions on project timeline inside one Notion workspace.

The new “Can edit content” permission level prevents accidental edits to a database’s structure — views, filters, property names, property types & more — while still allowing your colleagues to edit the content inside the database pages. Learn how it can help you and your team move with less friction.

Link previews enables you to view real-time, synced visualizations of external tools like Jira, GitHub, Slack, Trello, and Asana inside your Notion pages. We'll continue to build support for additional integrations in the coming weeks and months.

Whether it’s product launches, design specs, or user research, processes need to run efficiently. In Notion, database templates are essential to setting your team up for success.

Whether you're a product manager, designer, or engineer, we all need to juggle our projects and stay sane. Notion Customer Success Manager Monica Perez teaches you how to build and customize your core project management system step-by-step in Notion.

Whether it’s different departments at your company, sub-teams, or external partners, Notion comments enable cross-functional collaboration.

Timeline is a new type of Notion database that’s way more than a Gantt chart. It gives you complete flexibility to scope projects, adjust their timelines, and customize your workflow.

Achieving the goals you set for your team this year comes down to a plan. Using this system, your goals are top of mind and actionable, so your team knows who’s working on what and when it’s due.

Notion databases become even more powerful when you link them together. Link to a row from another database with a relation, or show a specific property from a related table with a rollup.

Lists are Notion's most minimalist database view. All the power of a database, but without the visual clutter. Use them for meeting notes, journal entries, process documentation and more!

Since Notion is so flexible, you can manage your tasks however you want! But we'll show you two specific examples of task management pages that you can build yourself - one that's more lightweight, and one with more features and functionality.

We've all had that thought... "Did this really have to be a meeting?" By taking advantage of comments and discussions in Notion, your team can gather feedback asynchronously and move projects forward, and cancel a few meetings along the way.

Managing tasks and projects in Notion just got a big upgrade. With new advanced database filters, you have even more control and customizability over your database views - make them as specific as you want for a more organized and efficient workflow.

Instead of manually typing out the same structure and content for every new page, you can use database templates to automate your processes and save some time.

Linked databases let you include synced copies of the same content across different pages. Use them to include a filtered view of team tasks in your meeting notes, or create a dashboard of tasks assigned to you from different databases.

Notion databases are incredibly powerful, and can hold thousands of items. Database views allow you to organize your content however you like!

All you need is the @ key to quickly create a link to a person, date, or page.

You can unlock a lot of Notion's most powerful features by using databases. Just click the + New Page button and select a database type to get started.
