Project Management Features

Timeline ViewA project timeline is a visual list of tasks or activities placed in chronological order, which lets project managers view the entirety of the project in one place. A project timeline typically takes the form of a horizontal bar chart, where each task is given a name and a corresponding start and end date.
Project TemplatesA project template is a project that includes work packages and actions that you know you will frequently apply to various projects.
Idea ManagementIdea management is a structured process of generating, capturing, discussing and improving, organizing, evaluating and prioritizing valuable insight or alternative thinking that would otherwise not have emerged through normal processes.
Kanban BoardA kanban board is an agile project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow). A kanban board helps make your work visible so you can show it to others and keep everyone on the same page.
Time & Expense TrackingTime and expense tracking is the process of recording and tracking hours worked and expenses as they relate to projects. Time and expense tracking may provide multiple timesheet and expense views, configurable work time, overtime, approval, and expense reporting policies to allow organizations to effectively collect and manage time and expenses based on their unique requirements. It enables companies to reduce errors, duplicate entries, and administrative overhead. It can also reduce the amount of time it takes to collect and report project data, manage timesheets and remote data entry.
Task ManagementTask management is the method of tracking the progress of your project's activities from start to finish. This entails constantly making choices for your tasks in order to accommodate adjustments that might arise in real-time, with the end goal of completing your tasks successfully.
Status TrackingThe term status tracking is used in most CRM systems to describe the process of tracking email delivery within the CRM. The most basic form of email status tracking is determining whether or not a recipient has opened an email. Some software also keep track of which of the email's individual URLs is clicked.
Resource ManagementResource management refers to the process of obtaining, allocating, and managing resources for a project, such as people and their expertise, budgets, technology, materials, machinery, and natural resources. Internal and external resources are used efficiently, on schedule, and under budget, thanks to resource management.
Requirement ManagementThe process of recording, reviewing, tracing, prioritizing, and deciding on specifications, as well as controlling change and interacting with relevant stakeholders, is known as requirement management. It is a continuous process that occurs over the duration of a project. A capacity to which a project result should adhere is referred to as a prerequisite.
Project PlanningProject planning is a phase in project management where the necessary paperwork is generated to ensure that the project is completed successfully. All activities taken to identify, schedule, integrate, and organize additional plans are recorded.
Portfolio ManagementPortfolio management is described as the process of managing an individual's assets in order to maximize earnings over a set period of time.
Percent-Complete TrackingPercent complete tracking is a way to track project progress and is an important part of how to manage a project. A project's percent complete refers to how far along you are with any given mission (or the project overall).
Milestone TrackingA project is only considered a success if all of the client's objectives are met. These are usually articulated in terms of the complexity of what needs to be delivered, its consistency, the costs involved, and the timeframes involved. The most effective way to manage the timescale factor is to monitor milestones. Effective project preparation concentrates on the most important deliverables, with assignments outlining how the job will be structured to meet the deadlines. Milestones are used to classify these main completion dates so that projected dates can be compared to committed dates as the project progresses. This is what's referred to as milestone tracking.
Issue ManagementThe practice of finding and addressing problems is known as issue management. Problems with employees or vendors, technological glitches, and supply shortages can all wreak havoc on your project. If the problem isn't fixed, you risk causing needless friction, delays, or even failure to meet the deadline.
Budget ManagementThe method of administering and controlling the finances associated with business ventures is known as budget management. It’s not only about coming up with a single overall number for a particular project but also about understanding the individual cost elements and the logistics of budget tracking.
Recurring Task ManagementRecurring task management involves ensuring that the recurring tasks (that happen over and over again on a regular basis) are properly managed by the project manager to ensure efficiency and productivity.
IT Project ManagementThe planning, scheduling, execution, tracking, and reporting of IT projects is known as IT project management (ITPM). Although many industries concentrate solely on IT ventures, IT is unique in that it is present in almost all, if not all, industries.

Task Management Features

Time TrackingTime tracking allows you to keep track of the hours spent on individual tasks and on the project as a whole. Time tracking should allow your team members to add time entries to tasks easily.
Task TrackingTask tracking or task management is the process where one identifies, monitors, and progresses the work that needs to be done during the day. In terms of project management, task tracking is how the workflow is efficiently organized. It’s task-oriented, detailed, and part of the larger scheduling of a project.
Task SchedulingTask scheduling is the process of assigning start and end times to a series of tasks while keeping certain constraints in mind. Time constraints or resource constraints are the most common constraints.
Task AssigningTask assigning is when you send someone a task request in an email message. When you assign a task, you give the ownership of it (unless the assignee declines it) to one of your team members. The task's assigner will receive updates on the task's progress.
Reporting (Analytics)The process of arranging data into informational summaries in order to track how various aspects of a company are performing is known as reporting. This includes measuring key metrics and displaying them — whether in an email, a slide deck, or an online dashboard.
Progress TrackingProgress tracking is the method used to track the progress of tasks in the OKR software. By tracking your progress, you can compare actual to planned progress, and identify issues that may prevent the project from staying on schedule and within budget.
Gantt ChartsA Gantt chart is a bar chart that displays the progression of tasks over time. A Gantt map is a helpful way to indicate what work is planned to be completed on a particular day and is used for organizing projects of all sizes. It can also be used to display a project's start and end dates in a single graph.
AlertsAlerts are actionable and content-rich push notifications sent by the collaboration software. These notifications can be for anything from messages from teammates, reporting managers, or work updates.
Collaboration ToolsCollaboration tools make it easier for people to work together. A collaboration tool's aim is to assist a group of two or more people in achieving a shared goal or objective. Paper, flipcharts, post-it notes, and whiteboards are examples of non-technical collaboration tools. Collaboration software, on the other hand, is a technological tool.
Percent-Complete TrackingPercent complete tracking is a way to track project progress and is an important part of how to manage a project. A project's percent complete refers to how far along you are with any given mission (or the project overall).
Recurring Task ManagementRecurring task management involves ensuring that the recurring tasks (that happen over and over again on a regular basis) are properly managed by the project manager to ensure efficiency and productivity.
GamificationGamification is the process of incorporating game elements into nongame environments, like a website, online community, learning management system, or a company’s intranet to increase participation. Gamification aims to involve customers, staff, and collaborators in order to encourage them to cooperate, share, and communicate.
