Bringing Small Business Project Management Online
On the surface, it seems like the best method is to compromise — stick with the existing situation, but maybe share some of those documents through a tool like Google Docs. But for small business owners, finding robust project management tools (especially web-based applications) can scratch itches you didn’t even know you had. Simply by being more organized, you can expect to be more efficient and save your employees’ time — but it goes beyond making it easy for your staff to know what to work on next. Someone has to check over your system regularly, to both make sure that everyone’s doing their job and to make sure nothing’s slipped through the cracks. The more you can automate that progress, the more time and money you can save — and you can be sure that you’re not disappointing a client because your spreadsheet didn’t remind you of a due date.
