How to Use ClickUp for LLM Tracking
ClickUp can become a central hub for tracking large language model (LLM) workloads, experiments, and results so your AI projects stay organized and measurable.
This step-by-step guide shows how to turn insights from the LLM tracking tools blog into a practical workflow you can run inside your workspace.
Why Use ClickUp for LLM Workflows
LLM projects quickly grow complex. You juggle prompts, model versions, datasets, evaluations, and production incidents. A structured system like ClickUp helps you:
- Capture every experiment and prompt variation
- Standardize how work is requested and documented
- Connect technical tasks with business outcomes
- Keep stakeholders aligned on priorities and status
By mirroring your AI lifecycle in ClickUp, you create an auditable trail of decisions, data, and performance.
Plan Your LLM Tracking Structure in ClickUp
Before creating tasks, design a clear hierarchy so everything has a consistent place.
Step 1: Create a Space for LLM and AI in ClickUp
- Open your workspace and add a new Space dedicated to AI and LLM initiatives.
- Name it something like “AI & LLM Operations”.
- Enable task features you need: custom fields, custom statuses, tags, and dependencies.
This gives you a dedicated area in ClickUp where all AI work is captured.
Step 2: Add Folders for Key LLM Use Cases
Inside the AI Space, create Folders that map to major streams of work, such as:
- Prompt Engineering
- Evaluation & Benchmarking
- Data & Fine-Tuning
- Production Integrations
- Monitoring & Observability
Each Folder in ClickUp becomes a home for Lists focused on more specific workflows.
Set Up ClickUp Lists for LLM Experiments
Lists are where hands-on LLM work is organized. You can model experiments, test runs, and deployments as separate Lists.
Step 3: Build a Prompt Experiments List in ClickUp
- In the “Prompt Engineering” Folder, create a List called “Prompt Experiments”.
- Use task items to represent individual prompt ideas or test series.
- For clarity, use a short, descriptive naming convention like “Summarization v1.2 – news articles”.
In this List, each task in ClickUp reflects a traceable piece of experimentation, similar to how LLM tracking tools log runs and variants.
Step 4: Add an Evaluation & Metrics List
Next, create a List under the “Evaluation & Benchmarking” Folder to store performance results.
- Name the List “LLM Evaluation Runs”.
- Link evaluation tasks back to the corresponding prompt or model tasks using relationships or dependencies in ClickUp.
- Use custom views (Table, List, or Board) to group tasks by model version, dataset, or evaluation type.
This gives you an at-a-glance view of how each LLM configuration is performing.
Design Custom Fields in ClickUp for LLM Data
Custom fields transform standard tasks into rich LLM run records.
Step 5: Add Technical Custom Fields
Create these custom fields on your LLM-related Lists in ClickUp:
- Model Name / Version (Text or Dropdown)
- Provider (Dropdown: OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Prompt Template ID (Text)
- Dataset / Scenario (Text or Dropdown)
- Temperature (Number)
- Max Tokens (Number)
Align these fields with the attributes you see in LLM tracking tools so you can compare experiments later.
Step 6: Add Outcome & Quality Fields
To track results over time, add additional custom fields in ClickUp such as:
- Quality Score (1–10 scale)
- Pass / Fail (Dropdown)
- Tokens Used (Number)
- Latency (ms) (Number)
- User Impact (Dropdown: High, Medium, Low)
These fields let you quickly sort and filter experiments based on performance instead of intuition.
Standardize LLM Work with ClickUp Templates
Templates ensure every LLM experiment, evaluation, or incident follows the same structure.
Step 7: Create an LLM Experiment Task Template
- Open a new task in your “Prompt Experiments” List.
- Fill in a standardized description, for example:
- Objective
- Model and provider
- Prompt template
- Dataset and scenarios
- Risks and constraints
- Success criteria
- Attach any relevant screenshots or prompt files.
- Populate key custom fields with default values.
- Save the task as a template inside ClickUp.
Now your team can spin up new experiments from the same starting point, mirroring the consistent structure recommended for LLM tracking tools.
Step 8: Build an Evaluation Run Template
Repeat the template approach for evaluation tasks:
- Add sections for dataset, metrics, baselines, and comparison notes.
- Include fields for scores, failure cases, and regression analysis.
- Link to the source experiment and related model tasks in ClickUp.
Over time this template becomes your standard playbook for assessing each new LLM configuration.
Connect Observability and ClickUp Tasks
LLM tracking tools often provide traces, metrics, and logs. Use ClickUp to store the context and decisions around them.
Step 9: Link Monitoring Data to ClickUp Tasks
- Create a “Monitoring & Incidents” List for production behavior.
- When an anomaly occurs, open a new incident task in ClickUp.
- Paste links to traces, dashboards, and logs from your chosen observability tools.
- Tag the incident with model version, feature, and severity.
This centralizes technical evidence and business impact inside your project management system.
Step 10: Use Automations Where Possible
If you integrate external monitoring with ClickUp, set up automations such as:
- Create a task when a threshold alert fires.
- Update status when a related evaluation task is completed.
- Notify owners if new incidents appear on the same model.
Automations help your ClickUp workspace reflect the live state of your LLM environment.
Report on LLM Progress in ClickUp
Leaders need a high-level view of LLM impact, not just raw logs. Use reporting capabilities to summarize work.
Step 11: Build Dashboards in ClickUp
Create a dashboard with widgets focused on AI and LLM tasks, such as:
- Number of open and completed experiments
- Average quality score per model version
- Open production incidents by severity
- Cycle time from idea to evaluated experiment
Filter widgets to only show Lists and Folders under your AI Space in ClickUp.
Step 12: Share LLM Status with Stakeholders
Use views and dashboards to keep non-technical stakeholders informed:
- Create a simple List or Board view labeled “Executive Overview”.
- Highlight business outcomes and timelines rather than raw prompts.
- Include links back to the detailed experiments and evaluations managed in ClickUp.
This makes LLM progress transparent without requiring everyone to navigate raw tracking tools.
Improve Your LLM Process with ClickUp
As your AI initiatives grow, revisit how you use ClickUp:
- Refine custom fields to reflect the metrics that matter most.
- Retire or merge Lists that no longer fit your workflow.
- Update templates when you adopt new LLM tracking tools or providers.
