Management Platform
Management platforms are the life blood of any successful project. Launching, running and growing a business demands that you multitask like a pro. Furthermore that you can manage multiple other professionals at any given point in time. Asana makes project management easy and counts AirBnB, Dropbox. Along with Pinterest and Uber amongst its illustrious client base.
Create projects, milestones and deadlines. Then assign team members. Along with collaborate, communicate and share documents with ease. See which projects are on track, and which are falling behind. Consequently you will always be on top of the tasks in hand
The closest project management to Asana include the free platform Trello. The more advanced project, client and budget management platform Scoro and the SME/small team focused.
Remote Management
It isn’t a problem if the people that you are managing are not even in the same building. Thats the beauty and practicability of Asana, it’s online. Therefore your freelancer could be working in London or Rome, it does not matter. Create the project then simply assign it to a team member. Add a deadline, upload files, it is the perfect tool to keep everything on track. Asana also allows integration of third party apps giving you flexibility and more power to your projects.
I’ve been using asana now for about 3 years and whilst initially it might take a bit of getting used to, it works really well for remote team management. The free option is perfectly adequate for single users although the paid features do unlock task dependencies, project views, domain control and a few other ‘nice to haves’. If you’ve not already decided on a task management solution, I personally recommend this over Trello, Basecamp and Monday.com. The choice of course is yours!
