Project Management Software for increased efficiency

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. -Bill Gates- Microsoft Co-founder.

Improvement of efficiency has no limits or ceiling and organisations have been introducing various methods to improve the overall efficiency of a team throughout the history.

While early methods of project management were restricted to project management tools like Gantt charts that were effectively put to use by General William Crozier of the USA Army during the World War I, the introduction of Personal Computers in 1980s saw a boom in the use of Gantt charts in its most elaborate and colourful forms.

While Gantt charts are still in popular use as a method of scheduling production process and employee rostering, the introduction of internet in the 1990s and the wide usage of PC and Mobile devices saw the development of numerous web-based and hosted-on-premises project management software that serves a multitude of purposes.

Today, a successful project management software helps to increase the project efficiency through cost control, task scheduling, time management, facilitating collaboration and reducing paper-work. One of the most important aspects of contemporary project management software is their ability to create and manage project budgets. With continuous tracking of spending and allocations, a project management tool can manage your spending while a project is in progress.

If an organisation is responsible for the handling of multiple fund transactions with contractors or vendors, a project management tool can easily reduce their load by keeping track of the transactions and alerting the user when a transaction is overdue. Many project planning tools have also been designed to provide a prior estimation of a budget required for your project based on the pre-recorded data available.

Another most crucial part of the project management process is the effective management of time. With many a project management software incorporating efficient time schedulers, project managers can create schedules that take into account what needs to be accomplished at each level of the project. Because most management software needs to take the entire project into account, time and budget data can be integrated into a report that is easy to read and prepare.

Successful collaboration between multiple groups and parties is essential to any project's success and a number of project management software enables users to share presentations, reports, memorandums and proposals among other important and necessary documents while allowing various team members collaborate on the same project at the same time.

Modern project management tools also facilitates a smooth communication line across levels and hierarchies allowing loss of time and improved communication at every level.

With multiple options to streamline communications, collaborations and to micro manage budget and time allocations, project management tools like OPPTIMO provides ease of management to management members while reducing the stress and unnecessary workload on team members.
