TOP 3 FREE Project Management Software for Small Business in 2020
The first project
management software that is ideal for small businesses and teams is called
Trello now the primary reason we recommend Trello for small businesses is
because the free plan is more than sufficient and most businesses will never
need to upgrade to the pay plan you can also have up to 10 team members per
project now to sum up the structure of Trello well essentially your projects or
workflows are broken into three elements boards cards and lists now these
boards can be projects or team departments boards are created for teams working
on a specific project then the boards are broken down into cards which can be
used to identify each stage of the particular project then within cards we have
lists which is an essence that identified task description checklist and due dates
basically the finer details for your team to work through you can also create
unlimited boards cards and lists with the free plan which is amazing and like I
said earlier each board can have up to ten members Trello is ideal for
individuals and creative teams they enjoy and work better with visual layouts
Trello is user friendly and easy to use and can also be downloaded on mobile
both iOS and Android the only downside of the free version of Trello is the
limited integrations with other apps also there are limited features for deeper
process management like Gantt charts and time tracking however Trello is again
