The best project management tools
Every one of these works beautifully for a team of four. The list is about what happens at forty, when the tool stops being a to-do list and starts being the record of who agreed to what.
What we look at
- Stays fast with thousands of items and years of history
- Permissions granular enough to invite a client safely
- Full export including comments and attachments, not just tasks
- Dependencies and dates that survive a replan
- Priced so that read-only viewers are not charged as seats
Helps if you have it: An export from a workspace with over a thousand items, showing comments and files preserved.
