Will you be working from home in the near future? Then you have to make clear work agreements with colleagues. A good project management app comes in handy here.
4 good project management apps for working from home
To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Dutch government advises working from home as much as possible. Are you in the fortunate position that this is possible? Then you must have found out that working from home does have some snags. Keeping an overview is essential, for example, and a good project management app comes in handy. iPhoned list four good dividers with iOS apps.
1. Base Camp
Basecamp is one of the best-known project management programs, and for good reason. The tool is very complete. Keeping a schedule, mutual (group) chatting, forwarding documents, saving files and keeping track of task lists: Basecamp can do it all. Moreover, you can add as many users, teams and projects as you want.
However, there is also a disadvantage of Basecamp here. The project management app is very comprehensive and can therefore seem quite overwhelming for beginners. Plus, the $99 per month subscription price is on the high side, especially for small businesses. Basecamp does offer a free version (with limitations), for example for freelancers and students.
2. Freedcamp
Do you hate the high costs of Basecamp, but are you looking for a complete app for managing projects? Then Freedcamp is worth considering. As you might expect from the name, the program is free for individual users. You do pay for connecting extra colleagues.
With Freedcamp you can manage tasks, collaborate on projects, prepare reports and track projects. In addition, it is possible to register hours and, for example, to create Gantt charts. It is also nice that all subscriptions have unlimited storage, even the free version.
3. Asana
Basecamp and Freedcamp are very complete project management apps. The increasingly popular Asana, on the other hand, focuses more on making workflows transparent. You can thus create projects, divide tasks and keep a finger on the pulse in a flexible way.
Asana is by no means the most comprehensive project management app. In fact, if you want to chat with colleagues, for example, you must first install an extension. Asana has a free subscription that you and up to fourteen colleagues can use. A paid subscription (with more functions) costs at least 10.99 euros per user, per month.
4. Avaza
Finally, Avaza is also worth considering. This surprisingly complete project management app falls in the mid-range price and is best known for its good customer service. Almost all customer reviews are positive. The speed and helpfulness of employees in particular is frequently mentioned in reviews.
Furthermore, Avaza offers everything you would expect from a solid project management app. You can manage and distribute tasks, plan projects, create and maintain focus areas, register hours, prepare quotations and also invoice. In addition, the program looks fresh and clear.
