hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel today's feature we'll
be diving into the top seven all-round project management applications we will be outlining
some of the ones that work in a lot of use cases these aren't going to be specialist applications
so they'll have some of the general features you'd expect in a project management application we plan
to do some specialist features in the coming videos so hopefully you share what sort of
specific features matter to you so if you're new here please do subscribe it'd be great to have you
we do plenty of features like this so please do hit the subscription button so number one
we have click up now this is an application that has been around for a little bit of time now but
has grown pretty rapidly adding features at a fairly rapid rate as well allowing you to do
a range of different reviews in the application now what's nice as well is it does have a free
plan so you're not committed to a trial so you can start the solo plan or the for example the
free plan and pretty much get started with stuff you get unlimited tasks and projects but then when
you want to sort of go a bit further in terms of your storage limits the change of views then
you can upgrade there but this application is a great all-rounder and they also take note of what
features need to improve when you submit them in the community so in terms of all-round abilities
it does a great job especially in the viewing options you've got gantt you've got chart you've
got box and a arrange more now number two is monday.com chances are you've probably heard of
it because of an advert popping up they are very aggressive on the old adverts but they do make a
very good all-round application now monday.com provides you with a range of views and what i
like about it as well is it's very customizable in terms of how you can set things up they've
also got a range of templates so if you were for example to quickly move from another application
like excel or you were doing in a sort of more old school application and you wanted to move
something more modern as a team this application has templates to get you started and going on that
from marketing to sales which is pretty good so that's something that monday.com does do well in
so number three is rike and this is an application that does get a credit but it's sort of like a bit
of a hidden gem of the all-rounders it is an application that does pretty much everything
well it's much more tailored towards marketers and those in sales i'm not sure why but i think
it might be to do with the document abilities in the application and it's got a general sort of
design that seems to be pretty popular with just everyone for example applications like monday or
even base camp might be specifically popular to different areas or industries but naturally rike
has probably the most all-round design out of all of them they also have a range of apps and
integrations much like click up and monday.com but they allow you to connect with applications
like adobe creative cloud github and jira and many more now number four on the list is asana now this
has been around for a long time and it actually was created by one of the facebook founders
and it definitely has a good insight how where the world of work works so asana allows you to
create these lovely boards and also in the pro account allows you to create these timelines
and it is a great little hub for you and your team to work on stuff for commenting to be able
to share and insert stuff through email it's got a range of abilities and you can connect
with plenty of applications most recently you can connect with zoom to share your workspace
with your team members in real time that works with the new zoom zaps feature so asana is pretty
much a staple of the market and it's definitely a great all-round application so number five is base
camp this is a great application if you're in the creative industry or designer or you want to work
more asynchronously this means that you don't necessarily want to work in real time you might
have a lot of people in different time zones that need to be communicated or kept updated regularly
but asynchronously instead of in real time now basecamp has some great features like for example
messages board and also the ability to plan and schedule ahead with different people's calendars
you can also plan projects and invite clients to different areas to help you to keep organized on
information logos files and documents and it was also designed by a team that keeps mindfulness at
the heart of their product number six and this is actually a little bit of tricky one to be
to share because i actually think notion is now such a great project management tool especially
for those who are looking for a wiki as well and for example you can get wiki tools inside of click
up where you can use docs however notion has that as their sort of primary feature
but it also has a ton of databases it allows you to keep everything organized through managing
them in different views like board gallery table and timeline now and there's loads more as well
but this is a very impressive application if you're looking for things to be static but also
things to be in motion like with your application so i definitely recommend checking out notion as a
project manager these days number seven is trello now obviously we know trello is the great board
application it's been around for a while despite being purchased by atlassian a few years ago but
atlassian has actually pushed to make it a lot better they've pulled more features out of it
than ever but trello has some really beautiful features more importantly it's adding views
in the future so you won't be stuck with just a board's view and also they're working and putting
a lot of time and attention into something called butler automations which allows you to connect to
other services but also most importantly automate specific actions inside of your trello account
so once you and your team enter the page if you've got butler automation set up you can
make these custom actions roll so for example you can nudge certain people when certain things
are done automatically or you can do certain actions where you move cards to different places
and so much more it's a great experience for that as you can imagine there's tons of them on the
market so we'll be covering more specific ones in the near future but it'd be great to have you
here in the community so please do make sure you subscribe anyway folks hope you enjoy and find one
let me know what you go with in the comments below and i'll talk to you all very soon cheerio
you
