If you want to benefit from your work, you must first sharpen your tools. In the implementation process of software projects, the proper use of some tools can not only greatly simplify the work process, but also improve the efficiency of implementation. This article has compiled a series of software implementation tools for everyone, I hope it will be helpful to everyone!
1. Project 2013
Project 2013 project management tools can achieve:
Understand the overall situation of the project and make preparations before planning
WBS work breakdown structure
Set project milestones
Establish correlation between tasks
Use deadlines and restrictions to set time reminders and reduce risks
Establish a project resource library and assign resources to tasks
Budget and analyze costs, view project reports and overall schedules, customize data fields based on the company's own characteristics, etc.
Use the critical path method to compress the construction period, allocate resource availability, and explore ways to reduce costs
Monitor the rationality of the progress, compare and analyze with the project plan, and track and adjust the unexpected situation of the project

Two, mind map
Mind map, also called mind map, is an effective graphical thinking tool for expressing emissive thinking. The mind map uses the technique of equal emphasis on pictures and texts, expresses the relationship between all levels of themes with mutual affiliation and related hierarchical maps, and establishes memory links between the theme keywords, images, colors, etc.
It can help implementers to carry out a comprehensive and systematic description and analysis of the content involved in the project, facilitate the expansion of implementers’ thinking methods, and enhance implementers’ self-learning and thinking skills.
Commonly used mind maps are: XMind and MindManager (I use the former)

Three, flow chart making software
The drawing of the flowchart is basically drawn in accordance with the actual processing steps and processes of the business. The production of business processes is often involved in the implementation of software projects. On the one hand, it can straighten out and optimize the business process, and on the other hand, it can clearly and quickly express the business process and data trend when conducting business training for users.
There are many flowchart production softwares on the market. I recommend two products here: Office Visio 2013 and ProcessOn (online production). The former needs to be installed on the PC side, and the latter can realize WEB online production.

Four, note-taking software
There are many cloud note-taking software, such as Evernote , Youdaoyun Note and Weizhi Note, etc. Each note has its own characteristics, and I have been using Youdao Cloud Note.
Implementers use cloud notes to realize the main functions: software FQA and knowledge fragments. Of course, cloud notes have many advantages, especially PC APP IOS three-terminal data synchronization, which is convenient for multi-business terminal recording and viewing, and cloud collaboration realizes the organization, update and discussion of multi-person team project document resources.

Five, screen recording software
Training on the use of customer systems is one of the main tasks of software implementation personnel. By using screen recording software, training courses can be recorded. Screen recording has the following advantages:
Reduce the secondary rework of business training
Listening to the recorded training courses by yourself will help improve your self-training ability
There are many screen recording software, here are three recommended: Camtasia screen recording expert KK video recorder , more professional training is recommended to use Camtasia, the simplest operation is KK video recorder (must be connected to the Internet), I currently use KK video recorder, whether it is necessary Open VIP according to your needs.
