5 Flavours of Project Management Apps for Team Project Collaboration

8/25/2012

By: Jonas Andersen, Podio

Whatever your project management methodology or style, there’s an app for that. Whether you manage a single project solo or with a team, a portfolio of different projects, or are living your life the agile way, chances are the project management app you need can be found in the Podio App Market.

Each app can be modified to fit exactly the way you manage your projects. Here is a run down of a few of the Podio apps available to start you off on the right track.

Simple Project Management

Manage your projects without all the fuzz. Simply install this app, describe your project, and get started in a matter of minutes. Share your resources and project descriptions in an easy and straight-forward way. Break your project into deliverables, and organise stand-ups to keep things on track. That's it.

As with all Podio apps, this pack leverages the built-in calendar, contacts, file sharing with ShareFile, dropbox, google docs, and more neat integrations for your files, as well as the social stream and task management.

Client Project Collaboration

Work with your project team and clients using the Client Project Collaboration app. Create and share project descriptions, define deliverables and roles, and delegate work to the relevant team members or split the work with freelancers and clients.

As you add the deliverables that make up your project, Podio calculates the total budget and the hours you are allocating for the project's completion. Throughout the project, reports show how much time and money your team have left to complete the project on budget.

Agile Project Management

If you’re running an Agile operation, chances are you’ll like the Agile Project Management app. Add ideas and input for your projects in the Project Input app. Illustrate with a sketch to get your ideas across to the team. Create action items in the Backlog app, add owner, deadline, and specifications.

Plan your iterations in the Iterations app, relate each iteration to the action items you plan to complete, and set the timeframe. In the releases app you can document all the action items you have delivered.

Project Portfolio Management

Manage your agency's project portfolio and keep your team aligned with the project portfolio management app.

Keep track of your projects in this space. On the space front page you can keep track of the overall performance on your project portfolio.

Use the Projects app to get a full overview of each project, and set up team meetings. Add timesheets, expense reports, and invoices in the corresponding apps to update the status on your project. Also, share any freelancers you employ on your projects with the rest of the team.

Project Tracking & Budgeting

Finish your projects on time and budget with this project tracking app. Set up a project, and allocate a budget and hours to each deliverable. As you go, track time in the Timesheets app and project expenses in the Expenditures app to get a real time overview of your project balance and time expenditure.
