There are some common pitfalls a beginner user can encounter when first using a project management tool.

One common issue is that a view or a graph isn’t showing properly. That usually happens when something else in the project isn’t set up correctly (like a task without a due date), and because everything is connected, the view isn’t perfect. You can think of it like planning a journey without setting travel dates — the map cannot align properly.

Another common pitfall is that some users cannot perform certain actions because they lack the necessary authority. It’s like asking for someone to fetch your hat from your room, but you haven’t given them the key.
