Successfully completing a project is a complex process involving properly managing and tracking all the moving pieces that need to be coordinated seamlessly for a project to not just get done, but to stay on track and on budget.
The different parts of a project may include collaboration between employees and partners, scheduling meetings, tracking tasks sequentially, minding strict budgets and timelines, analyzing reports, and more.
When business scales beyond a point where projects can be organized with a simple mailing list or fifteen minute weekly meeting, it may be a good idea to implement a project management (PM) software solution.
But should you go with one that’s open source, or one that is built on proprietary software?
