You\u2019ve won a project with an exciting new client. Wooohooo! But as soon as the excitement subsides you know it\u2019s time to set everything up so the project runs smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You create a spreadsheet schedule, share it with the client via email, and introduce your colleagues in the process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re all excited for where this new business relationship could go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial delivery milestones are hit and the project is off to a roaring start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks down the line you check in to see how the project is going, but a key person in your team is off. Nobody else has been part of their recent email communication so they are unsure what has been agreed. You wait until tomorrow. They are off again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline gets missed. Your colleague didn\u2019t realise the schedule was on a spreadsheet so they missed the deliverable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client gets in touch. They have a new person on their team who will lead the project from here. They need all the information from the project so far. However, it\u2019s hard to get the new person up to speed as email communication has been fragmented between different team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project gets delivered in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a little late and communication could have been much better. The client is relatively happy but it doesn\u2019t lead on to that big relationship you were hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound familiar? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is so common when there is no single source of truth (a.k.a the project management software<\/a>) that everyone can communicate through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project management is a fine balancing act that, up until now, you thought only superheroes could pull off. But, with the help of a great project management software, you can avoid bottlenecks, keep everyone in the loop at every stage, smash every deadline, and stay on top of everything –<\/em> and we really do mean everything. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this sounds like it might come with an eye-bulging price tag, don\u2019t panic. We\u2019ve put together a list of free project management software so that you can track tasks, manage budgets, and keep everyone in the loop during all your projects. Your team will thank you for it!  In fact, it\u2019s thought that 9.9% of each dollar is currently wasted due to poor project performance<\/a>. It\u2019s time to change that.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Project Management Software? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project management can seem like such a broad term, and different software tends to have different features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is one thing that glues them all together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tools we\u2019ve listed here all have task-tracking features that let you see who\u2019s doing what and when they\u2019re doing it. Plus, they all provide an overview (usually in a way that\u2019s easy on the eye) of a project so you can see what\u2019s being worked on at any given moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True project management software brings together deliverables, timelines, and budgets so you can plan tasks, control costs, and manage schedules for the ultimate smooth sailing experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
