Nov 2

There are so many marketing and project tools on the market. How do you choose the best project management tool for your business? Read on to learn about some of the most popular project management tools and which might be a good fit for your goals.

For ease of delegation, transparent teamwork, and collaboration

Teamwork Projects

One of our favorite project management tools is one we believe to be underrated: Teamwork Projects. This tool makes it easy to assign projects, tag team members in comments, and for each person to see their due dates in an all-up calendar view.

As a project leader, you can easily see team members’ calendars by changing your view to see what their schedule looks like so you can re-allocate tasks or find another resource as needed.

Teamwork is a very simple tool with the option to create templates and easily duplicate them to create new projects.

Asana

Asana is another great tool for collaborative teams. It is quite popular so it can be easier to onboard than other tools as it is likely some team members have familiarity.

Like Teamwork, Asana makes it easy to assign teammates to tasks and communicate through comments on individual tasks. Although Asana doesn’t have the same intricacy with task dependencies as Teamwork does, Asana makes it easier to view resources and collaborate with team members.

Both Asana and Teamwork are among the best project management tools for efficient teamwork and collaboration. Making a choice on which tool to use will come down to your individual business needs and budget.

Airtable

Another great database tool is Airtable. Airtable makes it really easy to link records and organize data in a more straightforward way than Notion. Airtable acts like an advanced spreadsheet, and a very dynamic and powerful one at that.

Although Airtable has collaboration features, other tools on this list might get our vote for that category. Where Airtable stands out is its ability to organize a lot of information in an easy-to-access way which you might find a challenge with other tools.
