Member Event: Project Management Tool “Showdown”

by Tina Forsyth on June 29, 2011

Date: July 12th, 2011 at 1:00 pm PST / 4pm EST

Your project management tool is the OBM’s lifeline – and it is so important to make sure that it gives you what you need (so that you’ll use it!) The thing is, there are oodles of project management tools out there and it can be hard to decide which one to go with.

So which tool is the “best in the west?” (or the east for that matter, hehe.) Join Tina and your fellow OBMs for a Project Management Tool “Showdown” where we take a look at:

  • The key criteria and features to consider in choosing a project management tool – including the “must have” features along with the “nice to have” one
  • Which are the most popular systems that OBMs are using? And why do they like them?
  • Likewise, which ones have people tried and not liked?

The goal here is simple – to help you find the best project management tool to suit how you like to work.

Tina Forsyth is a leading authority on building virtual teams to help businesses thrive. As the author of Becoming an Online Business Manager and founder of the International Association of Online Business Managers she specializes in maximizing business growth potential through online growth strategies. Having built and managed various six-figure businesses since 2002, Tina knows firsthand how to implement a strong business foundation and the team to support it.
