In the business world in which we move today we are increasingly connected and at the same time more separated because offices can now be anywhere. At IBMH we know that constant change, and we like to keep up with any tool that can help us be more effective and productive. That’s why we want to talk to you about some of the most used tools for managing tasks and projects remotely. There are many more, but these ones will surely be interesting for your hardware company.
Tools for managing tasks and projects remotely, why are they so necessary?
The tools and applications like the ones shown here are very useful for organizing from daily tasks to entire projects, especially if each team member is in a different place. What these applications allow us is, in addition to a perfect organization, a thorough control of every step that is taken in the project. Or what’s the same, thanks to them the company sees how it improves the efficiency and productivity of the team.
The so-called Management Sofware give us the option to organize the daily work. They allow you to divide a project into subtasks, manage the times used, do it in the distance and also…
- You can assign tasks to each employee and receive feedback.
- We will have an excellent internal communication channel.
- We will manage the work from where we are just using a mobile device.
- Having everything so controlled the risks of something going wrong are minimized.
- Notifications will be in real time via the messaging system.
Below we will see the most effective tools for managing tasks and projects remotely.
Remember the milk
This platform allows optimal management of tasks and projects remotely. It has a paid version and a free version. In the last one we will have web, desktop and mobile applications and integration with Gmail and Google Calendar. You can order tasks from others and share lists with up to 2 others. The paid version is more complete. Among other features, it includes synchronizing tasks with Microsoft Outlook, adding subtasks, and working offline with the web app.
Wunderlist
Thanks to this application we will create lists of tasks and organize them as relevant. Its interface is very simple to use so you can customize it according to the needs of each company. As in the previous case, we have a free version and a paid version. The main difference between one and the other is that in the paid version you can also attach documents and files.
Todoist
Available for Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari, this useful tool allows you to manage to-do tasks offline. On the other hand, it highlights the option to create priorities using colors and to divide projects into smaller tasks. Available in free and paid version.
Asana
Asana offers comprehensive project management with a lot of capabilities. For example, sharing files, planning conversations with team members, creating task lists, and analyzing the progress bar for projects in progress. Like the other tools, Asana has a free version that sets a limit of 15 members and another paid version in which users can be unlimited.
Trello
We’ve talked about this app on a previous occasion. It is an organizer for the management of tasks and projects remotely that offers us attractive presentations in columns. Collaboration between people is allowed. And not only that, but we will also know in detail the status of each project that has been created. It is worth noting the option to appoint project managers and to see the process from “To-do” to “Done”. There are also notifications of task status and the possibility to upload documents. In its advanced paid version, we will find more useful features for the organization of tasks.
