Project Management
Tool
Zoho Projects is our recommendation when it comes to managing projects and tasks using classic project management and the waterfall principle.
You can create projects and divide them into tasks, milestones and subtasks, define responsibilities and deadlines and thus create clear conditions for everyone involved. The Gantt charts are a highlight: They allow you to visually plan and monitor the progress of projects. Dependencies between tasks are displayed and you can see immediately if anything is falling behind schedule. For day-to-day work, Zoho Projects offers classic Kanban boards and lists in which your team can tick off their to-dos.
Collaboration is a top priority: There are discussion forums, chat functions and the option to store documents directly in the project so that everyone is up to date. Time sheets and working time recording are integrated. Recurring routine tasks can be simplified using automation: Using an intuitive drag & drop interface, you set up workflows that automatically send notifications or generate tasks when certain events occur, for example. As part of the ZOHO Suite, Zoho Projects offers numerous integrations and can be easily connected to other tools - from Zoho CRM, ZOHO Invoice, Slack and Dropbox to developer tools such as GitHub or Jira.
Zoho Projects is also available on mobile, so your team can access it from anywhere. Remote work becomes easier to coordinate and you save time and money with less coordination effort. For small projects or a test run, there is a free version without major restrictions so you can get started right away, while larger requirements are covered by paid plans.
Conclusion: Zoho Projects makes it very easy for you to get started in project management, even without any previous experience, because the control of your project according to the framework standard can be mapped intuitively using the existing tools. A strong plus of Zoho Projects is that the effort for reports and documentation, which is considerable in classic project management, is greatly reduced by existing integrations. Last but not least, ZOHO Projects can be used in combination with ZOHO Sprints(agile framework) in a hybrid form.
