Resource allocation in project management is all about balance. The success of your project depends heavily on how well you distribute tasks to your team, stay within budget, and finish on time. A little too much focus in one area will tip the scale and leave you rushing to finish in another. Again, it comes down to balance. Any successful project manager can tell you exactly who is working on what, when each task is due, and how they're trending overall toward their original due dates.

Reporting bugs into new Teamwork tasks is a time-consuming process. Your team and clients have to switch back and forth between your website and your Teamwork projects constantly and dabble around with a bunch of other tools like screen capture tools. And more often than not, your developers will be frustrated with the lack of actionable data in your bug reports. Where was this bug found? Which browser did you use? Do you have a screenshot?

We don't need to tell you how important it is for your team to talk to each other. Whether it's collaborating on a project or brainstorming a new product feature, team communication tools are the glue that holds your people together. Without effective communication, one in every five projects will fail, so it pays for your team to have the right toolkit. Team communication software comes in many shapes and sizes.
