Choosing the right project management software can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it can be challenging to know where to start. However, there are a few key questions to ask yourself to find the right solution for you.

5 questions to ask when choosing project management software

1.    What type of project management methodology do you use?

If your business adopts agile working, then it’s important that the project management software you choose allows for iterative development and flexibility, sprint boards etc.  

2.    What is the size and complexity of your projects?

If you manage large projects with multiple stakeholders, you need software for project management that can handle complex tasks and collaborate with teams effectively. It also needs to be able to grow with your company and evolve as your needs do.

3.    What is the usability of the software?

The project management software you choose should be intuitive and easy to use, with a user-friendly interface and accessible support resources. Essentially, the tool should be used by everyone in the team so a complex tool and all its features might sound great at first, but how hard is it to get to grips with? You’re likely to have higher adoption throughout your teams with an intuitive tool.

4.    Is the software managing your data with security in mind?

You need software that can protect sensitive project data and comply with data privacy regulations. On top of ensuring your data is secure from a privacy perspective, you need it to be backed up often for overall business continuity.  

5.    What is the cost and value of the software?

‍Look for options that offer value for money, with transparent pricing models and no hidden fees. When we say what’s the value of the software, we mean what does it provide you within that cost. Are you speaking to a human or a robot when you need help? Know what you’re getting yourself into and make sure it fits your needs before paying above the odds.
