Many businesses are investing in online project management tools because they allow project members to plan schedules, communicate with each other, track projects, assign tasks, share files, and view project progress from any location. Popular online project management services include Basecamp, @Task, WorkZone, and ProjectSpaces, which companies use to help employees coordinate schedules and for managers to oversee subordinate plans and check project status. These tools have grown increasingly important as more work becomes distributed and companies seek to facilitate remote collaboration.
