What is project management software?
Definition
Project management software includes the tools and techniques necessary to facilitate team collaboration and carry out your projects. A project brings together stakeholders, a vision, an objective, and the resources needed to achieve that objective, as well as the methods and tools to ensure that you achieve it.
Collaboration between teams is the key to success in project management and must be at the heart of the project management software.
The software helps the teams unlock the potential of teamwork. It helps the teams carry out their assigned projects while controlling costs and respecting deadlines. It centralizes all activities and gives your organization more clarity and serenity.
Project management software has many features. Here is a non-exhaustive list:
Workspaces, instant messaging, team collaboration, document sharing, task management, shared calendars, videoconferencing, reporting, rights management, project models, mobile applications, security, data sovereignty and more.
Disadvantages
Choosing a project management software requires investment, which means that you need to carefully consider and determine which system will work based on the specifics of your organization. The system you choose should be agile and offer minimal customization.
You must take into account the time and financial cost necessary to support and train employees. To obtain the best possible return on investment, the teams need to adopt the software and encourage employees to use it. Employees could avoid using the software due to a lack of understanding or support, so organizations must watch out for this.
Keep in mind that the project management software you choose should speed up the process without creating additional burdens on your teams.
Benefits
Modern collaboration software offers even more possibilities. These tools help to reduce time wasted, such as the time spent searching for files or data or manually updating calendars and schedules. Modern teams need tools to share files, communicate in real time, and make sure all team members are working on the same page.
Some tools reduce redundancy: they consolidate systems so that information is centralized. They also avoid file redundancy and the typical problem of never knowing which file is the latest/best version. In addition to reducing the number of different files, the project management software allows the teams to use a single platform to follow up exchanges, tasks, agendas, etc.
Having a single system allows teams to work creatively and easily in a given setting .
In addition, with the introduction to online project management software, organizations no longer need to work from a single physical location. They can easily work in a team while being geographically dispersed and maintain the same levels of access, updates, and collaboration. These SaaS project management solutions adapt to new working methods (remote working for example) and greatly facilitate the implementation of projects.
Finally, these softwares automate your processes and provide a central place to manage your resources, tasks, calendars, projects, and communication. All of this information is consolidated into a single system, which allows you to report progress in real time, so you can easily view and share project health information. This not only lets you know where you can adjust your resources to make better decisions about project execution, but also gives detailed and transparent answers to stakeholder questions.
