Project management have taken a leap from being in the office to being done virtually now. In today’s day and age a great amount of person are making themselves available to work online and project management is not limited to the long list of jobs that are offered and taken.
Now teams are being managed consisting of people all over the world and everything is done virtually. As a result there are tools that are out there that allows for the a virtual worker to be able to manage a project from home. Here are a few of the popular tools used:
Ace Project
This is the best I have come across thus far for project management. There are around twenty two features of this tool and Multiple Project and Task Management, Discussion Forum and Task Dependencies to me are the greatest features they provide. They also offer self or web hosted option in case you would like intralink in your business. Like anything that is new you may be overwhelmed using it for the first time, but a few practicing and you will be able to get it in no time. This is a system that is complete for both multi and single users.
Project Insight
If there is a feature you need as a project manager, they have it. Just try the demo and you will see what it has to offer. The pricing for this is not on their site so I suggest emailing them to find that out. This tool is more than basic and a little less than advanced. If you are a virtual assistant with medium knowledge you will find this to be satisfying.
Smart Sheet
If spread sheets are your thing you will get a hang of this and enjoy it. The basic idea of this is to pool all the sheets of a similar project and anything that is like it. You will be able to work with clients and files can be uploaded for there to be discussions. If you are not a fan of spreadsheet you may take some time to get used to it. This is a free tool.
Easy Projects
If you want a single command post for a team, this tool will be very handy in helping you manage a project for numerous clients in one area. Two features that must be mentioned are the Hierarchical Role Based Permissions and the Employee Timesheet. This however is not a free service so you will have to pay up to enjoy what this tool has to offer.
