Project Management Software Development Services

In agile projects, project management solutions provide support across all product iterations and help enhance the team's collaboration. There are two main types of PM software, depending on the user groups. The first one is designed specifically for project management tasks and focused on PMs and executives. The functionality of such software may include project planning, project management resource planning, project controlling, etc. The second type of software aims at improving the collaboration of the whole project team, therefore designed with all specialists working on the project in mind. So it may also include such functions as Kanban boards, task management, functions focused on effective collaboration such as chats, comment function, joint work of tasks, and more.

With a growing number of tasks and more complex projects, it becomes difficult to keep tabs on everything and efficiently organize the working day. It becomes even more challenging when many people are working on the same task. The possibility of missing deadlines and not achieving the planned milestones increases, and sometimes even the entire project's success may be put at risk. This is where PM software could help. A software project management tool allows you to structure your daily work way more efficiently. Although it does not free you from planning the project thoroughly, project management apps reduce the likelihood of neglecting specific tasks or not knowing what your employees are working on.

So PM software helps to:

• communicate the project goals clearly
• support PM tasks with a real-time overview
• better manager your teams - big and small
• organize your tasks more efficiently
• set deadlines and monitor the implementation of the tasks
• make project calculations or simulations easily
• improve the work of distributed teams
• facilitate operational project work, for example, by breaking it down into work packages
• adjust individual solutions for the entire firm

All in all, it is definitely worthwhile for most firms to introduce PM software that helps improve collaboration with a team and deliver the best results. The only question that remains is what kind of type of software should you use?

For big companies and large projects  it might be a good idea to introduce a solution with extensive features that cover most PM tasks. For small and growing businesses, a simple project management app may work too. Still, the introduction of a collaboration and task management platform with visualization boards can improve the project management process even better. And when it comes to some specific projects, it is always a good idea to build a tool with some unique features (e.g., creating customizable reports or dashboards). This can be done with the help of a professional project management software development company, like Relevant.

Choosing a reliable and relevant PM software solution is key to managing your projects effectively and delivering the best results. After examining a lot of the impressive PM tools, we compiled a  shortlist of some of the best best project management software solutions.

• Wrike. Wrike is a comprehensive work management,  team collaboration, and project management platform. It has some unique features, such as predicting when your project can be at risk of falling behind.
• LiquidPlanner. This is one of the most feature-rich and complex project management systems, which offers much more than standard PM apps. Notably, the software allows managing and tracking various resources such as staff availability.
• Teamwork. It is one of our top-rated PM software solutions that eases many of the pains of managing people, projects, and tasks. This app allows its users to monitor employee workload, check whether the deadlines are met, send invoices to customers, and much more.
• TeamGantt. It is a great project management software tool that might be a good solution for small businesses. TeamGantt is well-designed, simple, and exceptionally easy to use, but it does not offer many services big firms might need, such as budgeting, invoicing, or sophisticated communication tools.

Despite the fact, there are many excellent PM solutions on the market, they won’t suit your business processes and goals as perfectly as a custom app. So it may be a good idea to find professional PM software programmers (as from Relevant)  that will build you a unique solution to satisfy all your needs.

There are several essential questions you should answer before ordering project management software development services. Initially, you should consider what the purpose of introducing PM software to your processes is and what kind of tool you actually need. The software that supports a small startup's work and a comprehensive PM tool for a big international team will differ a lot.

So here are a few questions, answers to which may help you find out that. Is the project management process already established in your organization or not? Should the solution be used for agile or non-agile procedures? Will the software be rolled out for the entire firm or just for a department working on a particular project?

At the next stage, you should define the feature your software solution must include. The next point is to think of the specific requirements and limitations that may exist, which are unrelated to the software's functionality. So are there any technical obstacles that need to be taken into account? Will the integration into the existing IT infrastructure be a problem)? What is the budget for the project (team) management software development?

And last but not least is to study the existing solutions that are available on the market. You may create a list of up to 10  suitable products that should be viewed in detail and compared. The goal here is not to miss any application scenarios and possible restrictions but find some interesting ideas you might haven't thought of.
