The game has changed with Project Management software. Tools like Favro offer excellent software for project collaboration and hybrid project management. So, how can you use it effectively?

Standard Project Management methodologies and approaches have a lot of disciplines, like:
• Risk Management
• Stakeholder engagement
• Quality
• Cost Management
• Resource Management
• Procurement
• Scheduling
Most ‘traditional' Project Management software deals with very little of this – mainly scheduling and resource management.
There are also fully-formed PMIS software tools – Project Management Information Systems. But being able to use them properly is a skillset in itself. These are big, complex tools and only suitable for the project teams.
Two changes have together transformed the Project Management world.
1. The rise of Agile and Adaptable approaches to PM
2. The scale of interdepartmental – and often inter-organizational – working on business projects.
Businesspeople and organizational managers have always had to lead, manage, and take part in projects. But the scale has continued to grow. Now almost everyone in every department might find themselves involved in multiple projects.
Organizations need software that does not require its users to understand Project Management – yet allows them to manage tasks, time, and resources effectively.
So, the software tools we need must be able to:
1. Allow massive, distributed, interdisciplinary collaboration across an enterprise – and beyond it
2. Let each team use the tools and display the information they need
3. Support adaptive, predictive, and hybrid approaches
4. Allow people to use and adapt the tool with little or no training
5. Let experienced Project Managers manage in their way too
We have a new generation of Project Management software tools that can do just that. They may not be well-suited to complex traditional projects, but they place their premium on collaboration, usability, and flexibility. And they are truly intuitive to use.
A good example is Favro. I show you some of the ways you can use it and demonstrate a range of Project Management tools that I like to use, and how Favro allows me to use them.
I’m not a software reviewer, so this isn't a comprehensive overview of Favro’s capabilities. And my experience is not in Agile PM. So, although Favro’s roots are in Software Development (the gaming industry in particular), I don’t focus on that.
I show you how different teams can use Favro in different ways, yet collaborate on multiple projects. And, how a traditional Project Manager like me can see my favorite tools sit alongside Kanban Boards and Burndown charts for the development teams and list-based tools for commercial and marketing teams.
If you see the limitations of traditional ‘Gantt Chart PM software’, but are not happy with simplistic list-based tools or the limitations of simple Kanban tools, take a look at Favro: [ Ссылка ]
The things it can do simply blow me away.
