The Best Online Project Management Tools for 2017
We live in a global village. The internet has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. You can live in Alaska while still being able to work remotely from Malaysia. These possibilities were not possible a few years back.
Entrepreneurs, freelancers, small-scale business owners, webpreneurs, regular workers, and entrepreneurs can all work remotely with their teams. Online project management tools make it easy to track the progress of a project at a macro-level and the status of each task at the micro-level.
Apps and tools for project management have become extremely useful and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection and a smartphone. We are also spoiled for choice when it is time to choose the best online project management system.
Let’s take a look at the top online project management tools this year. Some are free while others cost money. Many of these tools come with a free trial period. You can read up on the tools and make a mental check about its viability for you project. Then, you can take up the trial version and use it extensively before you purchase the paid version.
Asana
Asanais is the most loved and popular online project management tool. It offers all the features you need in a project management system. It is compatible with IoS and Android. There is also a web version. The communication system is the best feature of this tool. It deserves all the praise! Asana allows users to tag, comment, mark tasks, assign due dates, mark project assignments, and mark them with comments. This near-perfect project management tool has one downside: it is only available for 15 members. If you are in the group of 15 or more members, you will need to pay for a paid version. This tool is a great value for the money.
Google Docs

These cards can also be used as a list, conversation, or checklist. All of them are placed on a board. Anyone can update and move cards if they have access to Trello projects. This amazing project management tool is completely free. There is also a business version for a small fee. The difference comes down to larger file sizes and more saved searches.
Thought box
The thought box is exactly that! It’s an online box that you can keep all your thoughts. Sometimes, while working on a project you have those spur-of-the moment ideas that can’t be recalled. These ideas can be kept safe by using the thought box. You can also share them with your team so that you can brainstorm, discuss, or collaborate on these ideas. Thoughtbox is not your standard project management tool, but it is a very useful project management app.
Producteev
Producteev is an intelligent activity management system. I find the real-time overview and status of projects to be one of the best features in this project management tool. You can keep everyone in the loop with activity feeds, timelines and alerts. The support community is excellent. Producteev Academy is a fun way to combine project management and fun competitions to see who gets the most done. The product com
