Cloud computing
Today’s top Agile project management software products mostly work in the cloud. That’s because people at the companies behind those offerings recognize users don’t necessarily clock in and out from the same locations each day.
Cloud computing also supports project management by allowing managers to update stakeholders on progress. Most affected parties want data-backed details. Cloud-based tools provide them on any internet-connected device.
Automation
Leaders are increasingly likely to become interested in using automation or at least open to what it could do to improve business operations and performance. Even when automated features work slightly differently across platforms, they typically enable project teams to reduce or eliminate the manual work associated with task assignments, status updates and some scheduling-related duties.
