Case Study: Ascend Studio achieves flexible, real-time planning and visibility for 40+ projects with Toggl Plan

Why Ascend Studio chose Toggl Plan over whiteboards

Ascend Studio, a London-based brand, design and web agency founded in 2006, needed a more flexible way to manage a dynamic workload of roughly 40–50 concurrent projects. Frustrated with messy whiteboards and rigid project tools, Jim Walton and his team adopted Toggl Plan to gain a clear, mobile-accessible visual overview and flexible planning capability.

Toggl Plan’s color-coded timelines, real-time updates and drag-and-drop “digital whiteboard” let Ascend Studio plan and re-organize week-by-week, enable designers to update tasks directly, and avoid hiring a dedicated project manager just to maintain schedules. The result is better visibility and agility across about 40–50 ongoing projects, faster re-prioritization, and a more efficient, globally collaborative workflow.
