Overview of Project Management Tools

Home » Common Online Work Tools for Virtual Assistants » Overview of Project Management Tools

You’ve decided to make a smart career move and here you are – getting ready to enter the online world of work. So far you’ve realised that it takes a lot of dedication, effort and above all firm self-discipline.

Luckily, you’ve got strong personal discipline and organisation. After all, you’re used to drawing up comprehensive to-do lists on a daily basis, right?

Listing all your tasks in order of priority is the first thing you do before you start your working week and day, isn’t it? Great! Then, there’s nothing spectacularly new for you in this lesson, right?

WRONG!

Let’s set things straight from the very beginning – what we’re going to talk about here are NOT tools for your personal to-do lists such as e.g. TickTick or OmniFocus, but some serious huge project management tools that the majority of successful international online businesses rely on.

So, the story is NOT about how you as an individual can accomplish your various daily tasks both business (e.g. meet Jeff from X company to discuss Y, write a weekly report for X project, reply to X’s email about an enquiry) and private ones (e.g. book a hotel for the summer holiday, buy diapers, call mum).

On the contrary! It’s about an online working environment which is necessary for every serious business organisation dealing with remote teams and complex projects and tasks. And you’re getting ready to enter one such company, aren’t you?

Luckily, you’ve come to the right place to learn:

why every serious online worker needs to be familiar with project management tools
what exactly they are used for and which are the most popular ones
the basics of how a few of these popular tools (Basecamp, Trello, and Asana) work:
– how to set up a free account and get started
– how to structure your profile
– how to manage other team members
– how to set up and manage projects
– how to create and manage tasks within projects
– and many more details depending on how interested in the topic and motivated for success you are

So, let’s get going!

Why Do Online Workers Need to Be Familiar With Project Management Tools?

You wonder why an eCommerce employee needs basic knowledge of project management tools? Simply because ALL professional businesses usually have such a tool and you are eager to become a part of one such business, aren’t you? Sure you are.

Then, asking this question would be like getting a regular 9-5 office job and asking your new employer why you have to go to the office every single day. Got it?

That tool can be observed as your virtual company premises (or an office) where all the jobs are completed.

OK. But most start by organising their work just using email. Why don’t all those growing online businesses just keep using emails the whole time?

Hmmm… Well, it’s similar to asking the above mentioned employer from our example why the whole team of e.g. 50 people cannot just work from his/her or their own homes. Why do you need business premises at all? You see?

Who could possibly manage all those people and organise the work like that? Happen to know someone? We doubt such a person exists at all.

Every company strives for success just as any individual does, right? In order to become successful and recognised, companies add more complexity to their work over time, which requires bigger expert teams so there are many things going on in a business after a while.

For instance, your employer has to take care of monitoring and managing all the worldwide team members, their collaboration, communication, individual performance, workflow, deadlines, budget, risks, documentation and many more other things.

That’s why it becomes tremendously difficult to manage all the conversations and ongoing projects just in email as before. So, they need a solid project management tool to help them get more organised and profitable as they’re growing and improving.

Don’t you agree such tools are fantastic solutions to all those never-ending email chains with numerous CCs and BCCs? Definitely, but what exactly they’re used for? Read on and find out.

What Are Project Management Tools Specifically Used for (And Which One to Choose)?

In short, they are used to organise all the communications in one spot for a single team because online teams usually work globally and in different time zones. These tools help global online teams save a lot of time and effort, share their thoughts, ideas and knowledge, and collaborate on various projects and tasks more effectively.

Moreover, with such a tool everyone in the team becomes more productive and knows exactly what’s going on in every phase of a project from beginning to end so they can keep focused on what’s important and track their progress.

It’s easier to prioritise your work and meet deadlines, as well as stay updated whenever and wherever you are since these tools help you stay in sync across various devices. Isn’t that super convenient?

Also, you can add numerous files, attachments, comments or notes there so the time you spend in meetings becomes reduced. And this is just a quick overview!

To find out more about the reasons for using project management tools, their benefits and advantages, please, refer to (all or some of) the following sources (neglecting the advertisements, but focusing on the key points):

Isn’t it nice to get control of everything that’s happening in all the projects you’re involved in? Indeed. Have we mentioned that these tools can be used free of charge on certain conditions? Fabulous!

Wondering which tool to use? No worries for you since it’s totally up to your employer.

There are various project management tools to choose from, and some of the most popular ones we’re going to cover in this lesson are:

But how do you know which project management tool will your future employer use? Do you have to know absolutely everything about every single tool to make sure you can get and keep that precious online job? Of course not. Don’t worry!

The truth is – if you really thoroughly learn how these three tools work, you’ll be able to apply the same basic principles to nearly any other project management tool you come across.

How come? Well, it’s because they’re ALL about managing communications and tasks within projects so none of them is radically different from others. Great news, right?

Now, let’s master the basics of how these three tools work so that you can say you have some knowledge of them once you come into an online business. That’s a great way to stand out from the crowd, isn’t it? Ready? Here we go.

How Do Project Management Tools Work?

In the subsections to come, we’re going to walk you through the basics (and more if you please) of the mentioned tools you need to understand if you want to pursue an online career in the eCommerce or any other profitable industry.

Here’s what you MUST KNOW HOW TO:

set up an account, structure your profile and get started with all these three tools (for free),
set up and manage projects i.e. organise, name, edit, properly place or archive them, mark them as important or done/completed, add tasks, upload files/attachments, track progress, set due dates etc.
create, manage and assign tasks to the team members or yourself (basically the same details as for projects),
manage teams/other users and communication i.e. to invite people to collaborate with you, add them to different projects, communicate with them publicly or privately, tag them in a conversation or project, see their deadlines and the tasks they’re working on, and the like.

A lot to learn, right? Yes, but we’re here to guide you through your learning and research process, and make it as easy and fun as possible, so relax and enjoy the learning!

Let’s start with our first tool – Basecamp.

All You Need to Know About Basecamp

In this subsection, we’re going to walk you through the latest version of this tool – Basecamp3. Before you start experimenting and learning how it works, you need to find out what it looks like, right?

Step 1: Acquaint Yourself With the Basecamp Interface

For start, take a peek at how Basecamp works (the same 2-minute demo video as below included here too) and get familiar with what it looks like.

Do you now realise what difference these tools make in managing online teams and huge projects in comparison with the chaotic email chains? Sure you do. That’s why you should keep learning.

Here you can also check what’s new in the latest version – Basecamp 3.

In a nutshell, here are the basic functions and options this tool offers (more on them further in the lesson):

And these are the basic tools users have on their disposal within every project or team (also, more details a bit later):

Here’s another short video showing what these six tools are usually used for – Basecamp 3 – Intro & Overview.

Time to have a closer look at Basecamp now!

However, you can’t run before you learn how to walk, can you? Thus, we’re going to show you how to create a free account to enable you to further explore it. First things first. Here we go!

Projects – for people from different teams who are doing some work together.

Let’s finally kick the tyres, shall we? To put this tool to proper use, we need to set up a project before we start creating separate tasks within it and assign them to the team members who will be working on that project. Here’s how to make the initial step.

Step 4: Create a New Project

Thanks to another video guide from Lynda.com you’ll see that creating a new project in Basecamp is also as simple as creating an account. Check it out.

However, let’s start step by step so that you don’t get lost in the ocean of new information. Fundamentals first, right?

Step 1: Familiarise Yourself With Asana and Learn How to Navigate It

You’re finally ready now!

Step 4: Get Started With Asana

This is the right place to get started with this tool quickly and easily. Remember the Quick start page from the beginning? That’s it.

Checked the page?

OK. This was just an overview of the basics. Some may find these ABCs enough for the beginning, whereas others may feel they need more detailed instructions, demonstrations, and examples, of course.

If you belong to the second group (and all serious online workers do), here we go with the details step by step!

Step 5: Create Your First Project

Ready to create your first project? As you’ve probably noticed, Asana has a wonderful support so let their friendly representative guide you through the process.

Here’s what they advise you below their video tutorial.

‘Follow these steps to start your first project in Asana:

1) Create a new project with a descriptive name, and identify specific goals.

2) Add project members who will be collaborating with you.

3) Create tasks in list or board view that will help you reach your goals.

4) Post status updates to keep everybody up to date on how things are going.’

Those who prefer written explanations on how to set up a project, find and access it, choose its permissions, and move projects between teams may refer to this written guide Understanding projects.

Ready to dig deeper? Let’s move on!

Step 6: Learn About the Actions You Can Take On Your Projects in Asana

To learn how to move, copy, archive/unarchive, export/import, edit, find and delete a project visit the Project actions guide.

What a thorough guide, isn’t it? Yet, it’s full of visuals thus easy to follow, right?

In case these basics are not enough for you and you want some more advanced knowledge about projects, their management, tracking their status and progress, organising project sections, adjusting project permissions and more, feel free to explore the guides suggested below.

Pay attention to the top left corner of the Project actions page suggested at the beginning of this subsection and you’ll find them.

Moreover, you can view the status and progress of every single project you and your colleagues are working on using the option My Dashboard

Each project is divided into smaller subordinate units called tasks. It’s time to learn the fundamentals of working with tasks in Asana so that you can organise, manage and prioritise your daily duties. Let’s go!

Step 7: Learn How to Manage Tasks Within Projects

Task actions will show you what you can do with tasks in this tool i.e. how to create tasks, move, copy, merge, print, search, delete, or restore them, assign them to someone, associate them to corresponding projects, adjust task permissions and much more.

Furthermore, their Task fields guide goes into more detail such as how to:

mark tasks as complete or incomplete,
set, change and remove due date and due time to each task,
set tasks as recurring or repeating in case they need to be completed on a regular basis,
add tasks to projects, remove them, and see/find which tasks belong to which project(s),
add detailed descriptions to tasks to provide directions, instructions and context for them,
approve, praise or (un)like a task or someone’s work,
create, add, rename, remove, or delete tags to categorise certain tasks, make them stand out, or track their progress.

What’s more, you can track and organise your own or your colleagues’ work using My Tasks option (a short video tour included). Also, you can keep yourself updated on all tasks and projects you’re involved in by checking the notifications using My Inbox option (a short video tour also included).

Again, for those who want to dive deeper and find out even more about what you can do with tasks in this tool and how to do it, here are the recommended guides. You’ll find these step-by-step guides at the top left corner of any of the two previously mentioned pages related to tasks.

If you refer to these, you’ll learn about posting,undoing and (un)pinning comments, as well as adding and removing attachments related to tasks.

You’ll find out how to create and modify subtasks within already existing tasks, how to add assignees and followers to tasks, what their roles and permissions are, and how to remove them. In case you’re extra curious, you can peek into details about task dependencies, too.

Anyway, all these tools are built primarily for team work. So, it’s time to learn something about organising teams with Asana.

Step 8: Manage Teams in Asana

Learn about Team basics with this guide on how to create, join, and manage teams, adjust the team settings, permissions and approvals according to the roles (a video tour on Understanding teams included).

As an eCommerce VA, you’ll certainly be responsible for inviting, removing, and managing team members within your company team, approving their membership requests, adjusting the team’s permission settings and the other similar tasks.

To learn how to do all that in Asana, check out this Managing a team guide. Or let their warm and helpful representative show you how to invite teammates to Asana.

The Team Page with its two main views – Conversations and Calendar – offers an insight into ALL your team’s work. For detailed information on what and how exactly you can do there, please also refer to the page Team calendars & conversations.

Step 9: Understand How Different Types of Conversations in Asana Work

Firstly, learn the difference between team and project conversations, and the basics on how to start/create a conversation in this tool, respond to it or (un)delete it, all that with the help of this guide – Understanding conversations.

In the previous subsection, you’ve learnt about Team Conversations. Remember? Now, compare it to the Project Conversations and learn how to access them, adjust permissions, and manage various notifications.

In Summary

Project management tools are valuable and useful because they allow remote team members of an online company to organise and track their work and communications better, collaborate more effectively, and become more productive.

Since you’re getting ready to become an important member of an eCommerce online team, you must know at least the basics of the most popular among these tools (Basecamp, Trello, Asana) so that you can help your career and your employer’s business thrive once you start working.

That essential required knowledge includes the following:

setting up an account and being familiar with the basic features, options, terms and the like within each tool so that you can start using it (hopefully with little or no help from your future employer);
creating and managing projects as well as separate tasks within each project (e.g. assigning tasks, setting due dates, marking them done, attaching files, and the like);
managing group and individual conversations within teams related to particular projects and tasks to ensure smooth communication and collaboration.

The main objective of honing all the skills in this lesson is to get you onto solid ground once you start working and using these tools on a daily basis. Now, show us what you’ve learnt!
