Have you heard how project management tools can help your small business?

Well, if you’ve been thinking about implementing one for your small business, it could really help you stay organised and on track with your projects.

But isn’t it a lot of work to set up? And won’t it take up even more time to use it?

It does take some effort to set it up initially, but it can actually save you time in the long run.

By having all of your project information in one place, you won’t have to spend as much time searching for documents or trying to remember details.

And it can help you avoid miscommunication and mistakes by making sure everyone is on the same page.

But what about managing changes to your projects, how does a project management tool help with that?

A project management tool can really help you to streamline your change management process.

For example, you can set up a change pipeline. A change pipeline is a way you can manage reviewing and approving changes to your projects. This way, you can make sure that any changes are carefully considered and that everyone is aware of them.

But people are resistant to change. Won’t it be a hassle to get everyone to follow the change pipeline?

It might take some time for everyone to get used to it, but once everyone gets the hang of it, it will actually make things easier. By having a clear process in place, your team can avoid confusion and delays. And it will help you stay on top of any changes so you can make sure they don’t impact the overall the project.

A project management tool and a change pipeline could be really beneficial for your small business.

It might take some effort to get everything set up, but in the long run, it will be worth it. You’ll be able to work more efficiently and effectively, which will ultimately help your business grow.

What’s a Gantt Chart?

A Gantt chart is a great way to visualise your project, and it’s a great way to communicate with your team, to show they’re on track. They’re like those bar charts that show the progress of a project.

They’re a really useful tool for managing projects.

A gantt chart gives us a clear visual representation of the tasks involved in a project and how they fit together. It helps you see the big picture and understand the dependencies between different tasks.

But how does it help you and your business?

Imagine you manage an architecture business, you’d probably have many projects going on at the same time, and it can be tough to keep track of everything.

A gantt chart can help you see which tasks need to be completed first, which ones can be done at the same time, and which ones are dependent on others being finished. This way, you can make sure that you’re using our resources efficiently and that you’re making progress on all of our projects.

But won’t it be a lot of work to set up a gantt chart for each project?

It does take some effort to set it up initially, but once it’s done, it’s easy to update and maintain.

Or you can use a tool like Monday which automatically creates Gantt charts using your project tasks.

Having a gantt chart can actually save you time in the long run by helping you stay on track.
