February 4, 2019 by Office Timeline

Best Task Management Software

Task management software has become a common “assistant” for project managers, helping them and their teams to properly plan and carry out their work, meet client requirements, and manage time, budget and risks. However, selecting which application will work best for you can be confusing, since there are many task manager apps in the market and they are constantly expanding their range of functionalities.

To simplify the selection process, we’ve gathered 10 of the best task management tools in 2019 based on user reviews and ratings. These are:

1. TimeCamp
