monday.com platform update briefing - May 2025

Here's the news about new monday.com features including hierarchy board views, calendar sync, board mentions in workdocs & managed columns for enterprise users.

Hierarchy board view for development teams

Pro and enterprise users now benefit from a new hierarchy board view within monday dev. This feature eliminates the need to switch between boards when managing sprints, supporting up to four hierarchy levels in a single view. The visual organisation system provides clearer project oversight.

Enhanced calendar synchronisation for CRM

The platform has upgraded its scheduling capabilities with two-way synchronisation between monday crm and external calendars (Google Calendar and Outlook). Users can now create, modify or cancel meetings from any interface, with changes reflecting instantly across all connected systems.

Board integration within workdocs

workdocs now supports direct board mentions within documentation. This functionality links written content to live project data, particularly useful for maintaining meeting notes or reports with actionable references. The integration bridges documentation and task management workflows.

These allow column owners to establish predefined, uneditable column structures, maintaining standardised workflows across teams. The feature aims to reduce configuration errors and improve process consistency.

Summary of platform improvements

The May 2025 update package delivers targeted enhancements across development, customer relationship and documentation tools, with particular focus on enterprise-grade workflow control. The features collectively address common pain points around project visibility, scheduling efficiency and data consistency.
