Project Management tools come handy, with their boundless benefits, ease of use & their role in boosting productivity.

  • Project Planning – Breakdown all project activities from start to finish. Predefine project plans to be reused when needed, prevent manual efforts and save time.
  • Scheduling and Time Management – Consider the resources at your disposal & schedule the milestones w.r.t. agreed timelines.
  • Resource Allocation – To ensure that the right kind of people have been allocated with the right kind of work. In addition track your resource availability and utilization.
  • Budgeting – Keeping your budget in check is one of the vital things in every project; and it includes the cost of people (contrary to popular belief).
  • Real-time Collaboration – Posting comments, notes, assigning a task to your colleagues or just getting in touch with the stakeholders… it’s all possible in a project management tool.
  • Documentation – Share documents in a flash, & keep all project info accessible & centralized.
  • User Privileges –  custom user roles are important to ensure that information is shared on a need to know basis and prevent unauthorized access as well as “too much information” (TMI)
