The best tools to help your year stay on track
As a busy entrepreneur, being able to manage your time and stay organised is key to achieving your goals when you have multiple projects and tasks on the go. Investing in a good project management system, whether it’s to keep your own workload in check or to help you better manage your team, is an easy way to take back control and ensure you never miss an important deadline.
Try our pick of the top tools available now and see how much more efficient and productive you can be:
1. Monday.com
Monday.com can be used for task, project and team management, making it a handy resource as your business grows. You can create dedicated boards for each project, group tasks and to-dos, assign work to others, set deadlines, share files and check in on progress at a glance.
The platform promises easy set up with workflow creation in minutes, and it provides hundreds of free to use templates, all pulled from real users. The visual nature of this tool also means training for new recruits should be minimal, increasing productivity and removing complications.
2. Asana
Available for web and smartphone, Asana works well for both remote and in-office teams. Like Monday, Asana works with boards, for at-a-glance updates of tasks and deadlines. You can also use these boards to assign to dos or entire projects to team members as well as set deadlines and share files.
Feature rich, Asana packs in lots of functionality such as the ability to set goals, create and share forms, monitor workloads, build timelines and automate routine tasks.
You can choose from four different packages with options suited to very small businesses and single person projects up to enterprise level.
3. ClickUp
ClickUp says that it is so efficient that its users save one day per week, guaranteed. Infinitely customisable, you can tailor ClickUp to your exact needs with custom status options aligned with each project time, multiple templates and checklists. You can assign tasks to multiple people, define task dependencies so you can quickly see where bottlenecks are holding up projects, set goals, track time, schedule reminders, workloads and milestones for ongoing projects.
The sheer amount of features and freedom to customise does mean that onboarding time is a little longer than with Asana and Monday as there is so much more to get to grips with.
