(Page 3 of 4 )
Are you looking for an interactive project management tool, but you don't want to spend the big money on a software product like Microsoft Project? Consider usingZoho Projects. This tool comes equipped with productive features so that you can get your project completed successfully. You can use Zoho Projects for free if you're only working on one project. However, if you have more projects, you only have to pay $5/month.
Like Microsoft Project, you can assign your resources to tasks that need to be completed. Keep track of your project by setting up the interdependency between tasks. Milestones are an important function to project management. They help you to see how your project is progressing.
Zoho Projects lets you see what tasks have been completed, and what others are due or overdue. Zoho Projects also allows you and your colleagues to share documents. After you create the document, you can let your colleagues edit and view it. Documents can then be saved so that anyone can refer to them at any point in time.
You'll also want to take advantage of Zoho Projects' calendar feature. This enables you to not only add or edit tasks, but also view them. Use this feature to set up meetings. On many occasions, you will need to communicate with your team. Zoho Projects has a forums feature that enables team members to post comments that everyone can see and read. These comments are centrally saved so that if you need to refer them, you can.
Two important functions to project management are keeping time and using Gantt charts. Zoho Projects enables you to insert both billable and non-billable hours that your resources spent on each task. Then you can use this information to bill your client. Use the Gantt charts so you can get brief summaries of your projects.
