One of the most powerful tools you can add to your business foundation is a project management system. Once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder how you did business without one. I know I sure would not be where I am today without mine.
With a plethora of tools available, it's no wonder there is so much confusion in choosing the best project management system for your business. As you'll hear at the beginning of this episode, I found so many articles on the best 10, 20, 40, even 54!! project management systems. That's enough to make a girl want to double down on her notebook, planner, or spreadsheet!
I've put this episode together in the spirit of providing you with the tools to succeed. I am joined by 4 trusted Operations Experts: Catherine Calmes (Asana), Kristen Westcott (ClickUp), Kelly Reynolds (Teamwork), & Courtney Waid (Trello). They are giving you the scoop on the project management systems they swear by.
I think it is noteworthy that these are 4 successful businesswomen and they each use a different project management platform. Your goal is to find the system that works for you, where you are right now.
Share your thoughts at the bottom of this page and let me know what you're using or what you're going to try.
