Compare project management apps for a small team
Compares project management app types for a small team against your must-haves, with a pick and a two-week pilot plan.
Task:
Compare three types of project management app for my team and recommend one to pilot.
Context:
My team has [number] people who work on [kind of projects]. We run about [number] projects at once. Our must-haves are [must-have 1], [must-have 2] and [must-have 3]. We use Windows PCs and our budget is [amount per person per month, or free only].
Rules:
- Use app types such as list-based, board-based and timeline-based tools, and do not state features or prices of named products as fact.
- Judge each type against my three must-haves and against how easy it is for a new person to learn.
- Name what I should confirm on each vendor's page before committing, such as limits on free plans and data export.
- Describe a two-week pilot with one real project, three success measures as numbers and a rule for when to stop.
Result:
A table with the columns type, fits my must-haves, learning effort and risk, then the recommendation in two sentences and the pilot in at most five lines.
