The best Project Management tools for Small businesses and Charities
With so many project management tools out there, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. If you're a small business owner or running a charity, you might be looking for a cost-effective (or even free!) way to manage your tasks efficiently. When your to-do list starts to get confusing, using a project management tool can help you visualise your tasks and organise them in a way that works best for you.
It took me a while to realise that setting up a project management tool would make managing client tasks much easier. After spending time researching and evaluating various tools, I found the perfect solutions to streamline my workflow. I've also had the honour of setting clients up with the right project management tools for their businesses, and the results have been nothing short of impressive.
One of the important things to consider when setting up a project management tool is that with so many options available, you might find that one tool suits your business needs better than another. This discovery process may take some time, but it's worth the effort.
Here's a closer look at some of these tools and how they can benefit your business:
Trello
A fantastic option, especially for those looking for a user-friendly and cost-effective solution. The free version of Trello is quite robust, allowing you to create boards, lists, and cards to organise your tasks visually. You can add checklists, due dates, and attachments, making it easier to stay on top of your to-do list. It's perfect for smaller projects and teams looking for a straightforward way to track progress.
Asana
This is currently my preferred project management tool because of its powerful collaboration features. With Asana, you can easily share tasks with team members, set deadlines, and track the progress of tasks in real time. Its comprehensive dashboard provides a clear overview of ongoing projects, helping teams stay aligned and focused. For businesses that require more advanced project tracking and team collaboration, Asana offers a great balance of functionality and ease of use.
Beyond Trello and Asana, there are several other project management tools worth considering:
HubSpot
Known for its CRM capabilities, HubSpot also offers project management features that integrate seamlessly with its other tools. You can also use Hubspot to create email campaigns.
Monday.com
This tool provides a highly customisable workspace, making it ideal for teams that need to tailor their project management approach.
Wrike
Wrike offers robust project management features, including time tracking, workload management, and powerful reporting tools.
