Being the person who has to manage team members that are always on the go or not located in one place can be a challenge on its own. Keeping an eye on the projects that they are all working on and ensuring that they all stick to a budget and within the deadline given can be challenging.
To help you with keeping track of everything regardless of where everyone is, there are project management solutions that can help you and these solutions are Android applications.
Everyone who is part of a project can join on one dashboard to update their progress, ask questions and see where the rest of the project is at that very moment. The nice thing about this is that it does not matter if everyone is on different times zones as everyone can see when progress and changes are being made in real-time.
Let’s take a look at some of the applications you can use to manage your team better. Keep in mind that these applications are in no particular order.
