If you have ever worked with a team you would know how easily everything could become messed up. This is especially true if multiple tasks are being tackled. During such moments you simply can’t rely on human memory to remember each task and keep them organised.
Luckily, new technologies have risen to aid teams to keep up with their tasks. Cloud-Based Project Management Software is an example of such innovations.
What is Project Management Software you ask?
Well according to Technopedia. Project Management Software (PMS) is software used for project planning, scheduling, resource allocation and change management. To simplify it is a tool used for collaborating plan and ideas within the team.
Since you are documenting each task. It makes it easier to monitor them reducing redundancy, missteps and pretty much most issues you would typically experience when working with a team.
There are a number of PMS available online. Ranging from limited, but free ones to robust and feature-rich paid versions. In choosing a PMS, as no two are exactly the same, there are a number of things you will need to consider some of which you will find below:
Cost
Depending on the size of your project. You would need to choose the PMS that has all the feature you need for the right price. Most PMS don’t vary that greatly when it comes to price though you should still choose the one that is of your money’s worth.
Online Access
Even if you are working in the same work-space having files and programs available through Cloud will be heaps of help, this is especially true if you would need to bring your work home or in a remote location from your team.
User-Friendly Interface
When you are working on tons of projects, the last thing you will need to worry about is how to operate the PMS your team is using. A good PMS should be easily usable by anyone out the box with little to no training on how to use it.
Features and Ability to Integrate
A good PMS should be flexible and have the capacity to adapt to the needs of your team. Being able to integrate with cloud programs such as google drive and connect to your email client can save loads of time, especially when trying to transfer files or share them.
Conclusion
All in all a Cloud Project Management Software is a necessity in today’s modern work environment. It aids teams in organising and managing their tasks, saving time and money in the process. In choosing the right PMS though, cost and usability being the most important, you should always check on the things you would need to consider to make the tasks easier to manage.
