Messaging apps are designed primarily for communication rather than work management. Messages appear in a continuous stream organised by time rather than by subject or work item. When teams discuss multiple topics in the same chat group, conversations become mixed together. Important instructions can quickly disappear within the chat history. Messaging apps also do not provide structured workflows for tasks, approvals, or project tracking.
