Berg and ClickUp: common questions

Does Berg have everything ClickUp has?

No, on purpose. Berg focuses on projects, sprints, automations, reports, chat, docs, goals and a shared inbox. If you rely on whiteboards or a very specific view type, check that first.

How long does it take to set up Berg?

A first-run setup creates your organization, workspaces and starter channels in a few minutes; projects come with sensible statuses and views.

Can we keep our custom fields?

Yes. Berg has text, number, dropdown, multi-select, date, person, checkbox and link fields, usable as columns, filters and on board cards.
