1 Assess Tools

Before you jump to conclusions about your tools, take a step back and assess their functionality and how they align with your project's needs. Are you utilizing all the features correctly? Sometimes, the problem isn't with the tools but with how they are being used. Ensure that everyone on your team understands how to use the tools effectively. If the issue persists, it's time to identify specific areas where the tools are lacking. This could be anything from communication features to task tracking or integration capabilities.

Any tool incorporated should be user friendly and tested well before the launch. Such tools are made to deliver effortless operations rather making the life difficult. Assessment of tools, and whether the tests are effectively calculated is important before releasing it in the market.

2 Gather Feedback

Your team's input is invaluable when determining the effectiveness of project management tools. Reach out and gather feedback on what's working and what isn't. This can be done through surveys, virtual meetings, or informal chats. Your aim is to understand the challenges your team faces and how the tools might be contributing to these issues. Remember, the goal is to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts openly.

Research and compare different project management solutions, paying close attention to features that address the gaps you've identified. While switching tools can be daunting, it's essential for maintaining productivity and achieving project goals. Keep in mind that any new tool should be user-friendly and support seamless collaboration among remote team members.

Nowadays if someone tells me that something is impossible, I call it a joke! Everything has now a replica that contains the same efficiency. Even Google YouTube, Facebook kind of platforms have their similar competitors in line. Similarly, seek the alternative the next moment you predict that your current tools are ineffective.

4 Train Thoroughly

If you decide to implement new project management tools, thorough training is crucial for your team. Organize comprehensive training sessions to ensure everyone is up to speed with the new software. It's not just about understanding the functionalities; your team should also be comfortable with the workflow changes that come with new tools. Consider creating a resource hub where team members can access tutorials and support materials at their convenience.

5 Monitor Progress

After integrating new tools or optimizing the current ones, closely monitor your project's progress. Keep an eye on key performance indicators to ensure that the changes are yielding positive results. This monitoring should be an ongoing process, allowing you to make real-time adjustments as needed. It's also an opportunity to celebrate improvements and reinforce positive outcomes with your team, which can boost morale and encourage adoption of the new processes.

Project is a UNIQUE ENDEAVOR. The monitoring of its progress is vital and essential. Without weapons no one go on war, likewise without appropriate tools, no project can be managed :) I prepared a Project Performance Indicator myself which really helped me to monitor my last progress at a Multinational Company.

6 Adjust Strategy

Finally, be prepared to adjust your strategy based on the insights you gain from monitoring progress. If certain aspects of the tools are still not meeting expectations, don't hesitate to revisit your approach. This could mean further customization of the tools, additional training, or even a combination of different tools to create a more effective system. The key is to remain flexible and responsive to your team's needs and the demands of the project.
