Transparency is a big driver when it comes to business efficiency. Project managers and workers alike need to know how the different parts of a project is moving and if there are any delays or holdups they need to take into account, and a project management software, such as Encodify, helps increase transparency both when it comes to why decisions are made and when projects and tasks start and finish.
With a good project management system you can streamline your product lifecycle by automating processes like task handoff, which helps your projects move through each phase faster. This also helps improve collaboration as fewer projects stall as a result of a task being completed, but not moved to the next step in the project line.
The difference between project management and task management, is that task management usually refers to individual work and personal activities, while project management usually refers to managing work across multiple stakeholders. In that sense, task management is a part of project management.
Team task management software simply refers to software used to manage tasks for an entire team, and allows project managers to assign tasks to an entire team instead of an individual. Team task management software rarely refers to a single solution but rather to a function within a larger project management system.
While every software vendor will likely tell you that they have the best project management software, the real answer is that the best task management software or project management software is going to be the one that fits the needs of your teams and processes the best.
While you can get a lot of mileage from generalist project management tools, moving into industries and fields you often have very specific needs, for instance a marketing team will likely need a solution that includes PIM and DAM functions, while a production agency will need a solution that includes both brief creation, integrates with their invoicing systems, and lets external users like customers and freelancers take part in the review and approval steps of their projects.
In big organizations there’s a good chance that different departments end up using different project management tools, because they fulfill the specific needs of that department. However, this creates a challenge when you manage projects across multiple teams or departments. This challenge is further exacerbated if your projects involve external stakeholders like freelancers, partners or clients.
The solution to this challenge is to integrate the project management tools, so tasks and information is accessible to everyone involved in the project.
You can integrate Encodify with other project management tools by using the standard integrations available or by using our full REST API to set up custom integrations.
