When working with a variety of team members and clients on different projects at home in different cities. It’s extremely helpful to utilize online time saving tools that are available to you in order to succeed and keep business going as usual.
Six great apps that enable virtual project management
Buffer – This social media scheduler is a favourite tool of ours. Not only is it easy to use on mobile and desktop, it also lets the user send posts for approval, review their results and engage with their group. Consistency and timing are essential when building your online brand. By using app analytics, such as Instagram Insights, you can see when your followers are most active and post accordingly. Another great feature of Buffer is the ability to refresh and reshare past content quickly and easily.
Slack – While Slack has previously been criticized for being an office distraction it’s now a valuable tool for dispersed teams. Slack allows you to instant message your team on different channels within your business. I.e.: Marketing teams can talk marketing with each other without interfering with your Finance team. With integrations for Outlook and other applications to share emails quickly & show when you’re in meetings, Slack is a great tool not only to share information but also stay connected as a team professionally and socially.
