For small to mid-size teams, yes. Notion's database views (board, timeline, table) with subtasks and dependencies cover most project tracking needs. However, it lacks advanced features like resource allocation, built-in time tracking, and cross-project dependency management that dedicated PM tools provide.
Notion integrates multiple AI models from providers including OpenAI and Anthropic, routing queries to the best model for each task type. The specific models are updated regularly. Business and Enterprise plans get unlimited AI responses; Free and Plus plans receive limited trials.
Enterprise plan includes SOC 2 Type II compliance, SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, DLP/SIEM integrations, and zero data retention with LLM providers. Business plan adds SAML SSO. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Notion is not HIPAA-compliant.
Custom Agents let you build AI workflows that handle repetitive tasks autonomously within your workspace — like triaging tickets, updating databases, or drafting content. They're available on Business and Enterprise plans at $10 per 1,000 credits, with a free trial to test.
Now that you know how to use Notion, it's time to put this knowledge into practice.
