In today's information age, project management tools have become an essential part of project management. Easy-to-use project management tools can make our work more efficient. Let's take a look at what project management tools are necessary for project managers.
Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart is a type of chart used for planning and tracking project progress. It shows the project's critical path by plotting horizontal and vertical axes, marking each point in time whether a task is complete or requires an update. The advantage of the Gantt chart is that it is simple and intuitive, easy to understand, and can help project managers better plan the progress. Its disadvantage is that it cannot display resource usage and deviation, so it needs to be used in conjunction with other tools to fully understand the progress of the project.
Zoho Projects project management software has a built-in powerful and easy-to-use online Gantt chart tool, a concise and clear view that intuitively displays milestones, task lists, tasks and their dependencies, reducing the complexity of project planning and making the project planning experience more intuitive and simple.
Resource Utilization Map
The resource utilization graph can help project managers better understand the availability and workload of project members, so as to allocate tasks more reasonably and improve team efficiency. The resource utilization graph can visually display the free time and task allocation of each member, so that the project manager can better arrange work and avoid wasting time and resources. In addition, the resource utilization map can also help the project manager predict future workload and demand, make resource allocation and planning in advance, and avoid improvisation, resulting in waste of resources and delays in project progress.
Zoho Projects project management tools provide users with rich chart reports, including resource utilization diagrams, which can help project managers better organize and manage project resources and achieve efficient project management.
Kanban management
The advantage of kanban lies in its intuitive and visual information expression, which can save the energy of managers and improve the efficiency and accuracy of project management. In R&D projects, the task board can break down the information barriers between departments and groups, avoiding information asymmetry and delaying information synchronization, resulting in a longer development process. Therefore, Kanban plays an important role in project management.
The Zoho Projects project management tool provides users with visual task board management, managers can quickly obtain the status of all aspects of the project, and help project managers and team members better track and display project progress.
