Project management is a broad field which calls for broad solutions. The introduction of web based project management has helped lighten the project management load and provided solutions that have made project tasks easier to handle. Many web based project management systems offer programs that have the basic elements required for project management which include, tasks, schedules, assignments, project tracking, budget tracking capabilities and many more. There are those systems that offer add-on capabilities which include time tracking, risk management and issue management.
Web based project management provides the project team with a number of added advantages as opposed to on-premise project management. The fact that the project can be accessed from any web connected portal allows for any project updates to be carried out immediately providing information to other project team members as and when they are complete. This helps improve the time schedules for the project.
Web based project management allows for the project to be analyzed at any given point allowing for amendments to be made and progress closely monitored. Any support required for the project can be offered online eliminating the need for an expert to visit the company physically hence cutting down on travel costs and project delays.
Web based project management allows for an unlimited number of project team members due to the lack of requirement for resources. Project team members can work from any location and without a requirement for hardware or many resources from the company. The non-requirement of hardware makes web based project management a cheaper solution than on-premise management.
