Hello folks, welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel
today's feature is going to be about great project management applications that you can use at home or
For remote work. So without further ado folks. Let's dive into today's video
So as you can imagine working from home using a project manager can sometimes be tricky some of them don't
Necessarily have great capabilities. So we've hand-picked nine options for you that we think will be successful
For using at home. So we've done them by three criteria points. That is
communication collaboration and flexibility now just to be clear
I've selected more all-rounders here because we're gonna be doing some more sort of project management
breakdowns in terms of specialist tools
But all of these I'd have good chair abilities or integrate with slack or zoom now
You can get all of them below and it'll be time stamped with any discounts that I find below. Okay
So the first option is a project manager called task world now task world has some great
Channels that allows you to chat in real time with other people in your team
So task world also has some Gantt chart abilities that allow you in your team to see timelines visually
Which is perfect for planning timescales
It also does have some time tracking tools which will allow your remote employees to track the time
They spend on certain projects inside the task world
You can also see performance metrics allowing you to see how well your team is performing across a day
completed tasks and also projects that they've progressed on now tasks world is priced reasonably at
14.99
User per month. So number two folks is hive hive again is a great all-rounder
It comes with a real-time chat feature
you can communicate with your team members on the left-hand side either starting channels per department or
Starting direct messaging to now it has this sort of tab based project management
Allowing you to create these tabs on a certain type of view or a certain sort
You're currently working on a little like you would get with the browser like Google Chrome
It also has 1,000 integrations over a thousand integrations
So it will connect with the likes of zoom and slack which can be quite popular for videoconferencing
and also communicating with an existing team communication tool like slack now the price per month is
$16 99 per user which is slightly more than task world
But again fairly reasonable a little bit higher on price side
So number three is Basecamp and if you haven't heard a Basecamp
I always call it the Patagonia of project managers because if the values it offers as a company
It's really well said run by Jason freed now the features inside a Basecamp
They're particularly the work
Well in remote work situations is the group chat allowing you to keep in touch with your colleagues in this
Very attractive-looking group chat
It also has the ability to involve your clients as well
Which is something I know a lot of companies like to put in their project management experiences
So the decline can sort of get an idea of what progress is being made and what files and accessibility
Information is available now Basecamp also has these sort of work-life balance
Notifications allowing you to set them up so they don't disturb you on certain days
For example if you didn't work Friday
But you work to Sunday and you worked out of hours from say 9:00 to 5:00 or specific hours
Say a different time zone because you're working with other people
Then it allows you to set those sort of rules and notifications up
It also has the ability to see all of your projects your schedule and everything else like that in
These sort of my views which is quite good now Basecamp is a little bit more. It's
$99 per month
But you get unlimited amount new users if you decide to sign up and using that so number four is Monday comm
Monochrome is talked about a lot and it does have some really flexible abilities and when it comes to collaboration
That's really perfect. You can see and work in real time now some notable experiences
They do have a Google Calendar integration as well as a whole host of integrations for time trackers
I know they also have a lot of form abilities so you can set up these autumn nations with forms
Which do help with very simple things that you can SAP in a remote company. They do have a host of templates
Sometimes it can be quite daunting using these super flexible applications, but they actually have like this library of templates
Which can help you get started
So Monday comm does have dashboards as well allowing you to see your company's overview or even per
Department overview of all of the projects you've completed the progress you and your team is making any activity streams
vital information that might make the difference, but I know a lot of people in
Companies at least in offices actually have these on their screens
But you could apply the same rule at home
You could be able to set this as sort of like your screensaver
If you're looking to sort of keep an eye on what's being made and what progress is
Developing so something I messed up in the other video was the pricing. The pricing for Monday to come is
$39 per 5 users and that works out about $8 per user per month
Which is fairly reasonable and I'll make sure I do when my review I'll edit that and make sure that is in
Okay. So number five is click up another fantastic all-rounder application
So inside you click up some special features that a lot of people like to help align your team members that may be remote you
Can have okay ours and dole tracking?
Allowing them to see the goal that they're working towards and to align their tasks towards that goal
And this is a favorite feature of many remote employees
Now I would say click up also has some really awesome viewing options
You can view anything from Gantt to calendar to board views and much more as well as even forum views and Doc's views now
They also have time tracking and also the ability to invite unlimited guests inside of their paid plan
Now their pay pan again is pretty reasonable nine dollars per month, but pretty much unlimited
Everything per user now number six is Miro Miro is more tailored tools designers
It's a collaborative workspace where they can visually plan all of their work now. This is great for agile and lean teams
but also for designers to work on UX and also uploading their designs for commenting from vacation and
Improvement. I've done a full review on mirror if you want to check it out
But I was fairly impressed by the application is a great visual collaborative base
It also integrates with Microsoft teams and slack as well miru
Also has the mind mapping abilities and is priced at $10 per month
So number seven is Zen kit. Zenki's has a host of great views
It's sort of like a combination of air table with the project manager and allows you to sort of see all of your information
In different views whether that's a Kanban view a wiki view, which is very popular
you can convert any of your boards into wiki's which it might be helpful for you and your team to find information and
also
It has timeline view as well as a range of other
Filtering and sorting abilities per board now Zen kit is priced at nine dollars per user per month
So number eight is a sonnet now you may have heard of a sauna
It is probably one of the most popular tools out there and as it remotes who it's probably one of the better ones
Especially if your employees aren't necessarily aware of using project management applications
It's super simple to get started now
one thing you can do is invite clients into certain boards to see progress also to see
Conversations and files that you add there and the asana applications have great strong mobile applications
Which is handy if you're on the go now the pricing again is medium price
It's thirteen dollars forty nine per user per month that they do have a free plan, which is fairly strong as well
So number nine and the final one is rike though
Right has some great all-round abilities some of the specific features and I like is the ability to pin useful links
So you and your team can come in see all of the useful links that they need to see at a glance you can also
comment
On images or files or even videos as well
which is perfect for
Marketers or those who send mp4 files quite a lot being able to comment on staff and not necessarily start a video call
Every time you do that can be incredibly valuable
They also have a host of reporting abilities so that you can see reports per
Per project and per person as well. So you can see how each of your team members is progressing which is particularly useful
For for example managers who want to unblock some of that employees now Reich is priced at $9 80 per user per month
But goes up when you look at more enterprise plans and go past 15 members in your team
So folks, I hope that was useful
I'll put all the links in the description as well as timestamps if you want to go back and check out those
Applications as well as links
but I really hope this was helpful for you folks if you have any questions about going remote or
Looking for tools that would be more suitable for remote employees. I'm looking to do that over this week
