2. Top 20 Best Project Management Software
Admit it. Project Management (PM) is hard and those traditional methods we’re all too familiar with
just aren’t cutting it anymore. Think about it: repeatedly updating spreadsheets, drowning in post-its
and participating in weekly status update meetings doesn’t necessarily scream ‘efficiency’.
This way of working only presents more complications as there is no real overview of the work being
done. Thankfully, there is more than enough project management software out there that will help
you face your ‘deadline demons’ and get your projects back on track.
Here is an overview of the top 20 best Project Management Software:
