2019 Project Managements Apps

When working with team members on a project, the ability to deliver a task on time requires flexibility. With the ever-moving world, the inability to plan, manage, and track task on the go not only hurt the projects but can also severely complicate matters.

App Requirements

Having a project management tool that allows you to access, communicate, contribute to, and track projects from anywhere anytime is a significant asset for teams. It’s essential for all, small teams to large companies, that are working on a sophisticated project.

Luckily, a lot of the best project management and planning solutions to organize your project have apps for Apple and Android devices.

The following project management apps for iOS and Android devices make it easy to track your projects while you’re away from the office.  

Asana is one of the oldest and most reliable task management systems out there. It was created in 2008 by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and ex-Google and Facebook engineer Justin Rosenstein.

In 2014 and 2015, Asana released its iOS and Android app, respectively. Helping teams manage projects and task all in one tool on your phone.

Asana's sleek and straightforward interface makes it easy to have complete control of all of your projects from creating, assigning work to teammates, progress tracking, specify deadlines, and communicate about tasks directly in Asana. It also includes reporting tools, file attachments, calendars, and more.

One of its most helpful features is a notification list on the home screen that outlines your tasks for the day, giving you an overview of upcoming work.

Though, it's Asana's self-proclaimed email replacement ability is what allows them to stand out as one of the best project management apps out there.

Monday.com is newer to the project management game, and you can tell by the way it is targeted towards millennials.

While Monday will help you with the same task as Asana, such as project management, reporting, time tracking, planning, and calendar, it's their user interface that stands out.  Neat, well-organized, and collaboration-first software that is very similar to many social networks, and therefore, our most common methods of interaction makes using Monday fun.

Also, like most social networks, regardless of whether you've used a similar app before, monday.com can be embraced with no training or preparation needed.

While Asana's top feature tends to be the integration of email, I would say Monday's most distinctive advantage compared to similar systems is the advanced scheduling capability.

The ability to schedule and track yours as well as teammates progress eliminates the need to continually email back and forth updates and set up a meeting for that mere purpose.

Since 2004, Basecamp has focused on developing a handy project management app with an easy to use interface in which users can create projects, document progress, and manage tasks.
