Project management software is the heart of project work and it is extremely important to make the right choice of an application to manage
your projects. We tried to manage projects with Microsoft project, but we failed. After comparing many project management tools we realized
that
only one of them could make our collaboration efficient and our work productive. Based on our experience we worked out 8 project management
software essentials:
collaborative - project management software should help your team members, clients and partners collaborate 24/7 from any computer.
easy to use - you don't want to spend your employees' time on training instead of project work.
User friendly interface is very important for project management software, especially if it is used by non-skilled computer users.
affordable - so that you wisely spend your project budget on core of your project work. It may start from
$9.95 per user.
save your time and it should not create additional complex procedures that will keep your team busy updating the files instead of working on their core business.
manage the projects your way. Traditional project management software, like Microsoft Project is designed to implement waterfall management method in your organization. This long-criticized method may not apply to your company or team. Web-based project management software usually lets you give more freedom to your associates and allows complete delegation.
keep you and your team well organized - nothing should be forgotten. Good project management software should help you and your colleagues meet dead-lines and remind you about overdue items.
over featured. Why should you pay for features your team members do not ever use? There are complex applications that have hundreds of features, and you will have to spend your precious time on mastering them to use just a few of them afterwards.
After examining many
project management tools we chose
Wrike as the best Microsoft Project alternative.
