Here are three key tips to consider before choosing a project management app.

1) Casual and professional project management
First of all, ask yourself how complete and functional does a ecuador country information PM solution need to be for your specific business case?

Use the ABC scale.

"A" stands for simple task management and is suitable for planning individual actions. The goal here is to keep track of specific tasks or to-do lists.

"B" refers to group tools that include task assignment, progress tracking, and reporting. These tools work to automate small marketing, HR, and administrative projects—projects that require group interaction but are not business-critical.

“C” includes all full-featured project management suites for professional and business-critical project management activities (such as systems integration services or consulting). These offerings have broad functionality, including task assignment, resource allocation, budget planning, invoicing, and can often include the amount of portfolio management needed to support a PMO. Depending on the industry – say, construction – the functionality may also be heavily focused on resource and asset management, as well as integration with ERP and bid systems.
