Advantages of Project Tracking Software

By Kieran Pratt


Need help organizing project planning boards, activity time frames, and task designations? What this particular office needs is a project tracking software. The project tracking software is basically a program, possibly downloadable from the World Wide Web or purchased in CD ROM or hard disk form and then downloaded into the computer's desktop system. It can also be a software that translates into a program that is accessed only through the Internet, and then, through this, one will be able to track activities more easily and efficiently.

The companies which use task tracking software increase their progress on daily basis and they don't need to be relying on spread sheets and post-it notes to track the project report manually because such a process is time consuming and not error free. Task tracking software provides a centralized, integrated, real time communication system to the companies so that workers can refer for task delegation and information updates, and management can use for task progress evaluation. Project tracking system has the ability to accommodate multiple projects. Project tracking systems are of two types first one is Internal System and second one is Software as a service system or Web based tracking system. In beginning people used internal system but now days most of the people use web based tracking system.

Making project reports. Apart from creating the actual project plan, a project tracking software also usually has the capacity to let the user draft reports on each project in the plan template. Possibly, he can even create presentations with this software. This way, whenever the user has to deal with something that is related to his projects, he no longer has to bother with various other software programs (i.e., which to open, MS Word, PowerPoint, or Outlook?) or files (i.e., what file name or folder name he has saved his project in); all he has to do is to run the project tracking software, select the tasks in question, and everything will be there, including his presentation for their upcoming board meeting.

And ultimately, I need my new project tracking software to be cheap. I run my office on an especially humble budget, so I am unable to afford to spend masses of bucks on additional licenses and costs.I desire the price to incorporate multiple installations so I will share the programme with all of my employees, and I would like a choice to go up to more recent versions at a reduction.This is a sure way to keep me returning as a consumer!

The above mentioned functions are the ones that are usually inherent in all project tracking software programs. There are other products, though, that feature added functions that could help the user with his projects. Among these other functions are budget and resource tracking per task, a project dashboard for the user to have a bird's eye view of all the projects under his command regularly, and tracking for changes, issues, and risks associated with each project.
