The Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity method is becoming increasingly popular with both small and large businesses. The Nozbe app successfully allows you to manage your workflow using that approach. All tasks on Nozbe can be accessed via your ‘Inbox’, enabling everyone to clearly see exactly what is required – a key principle of the GTD philosophy.
Nozbe has three separate pricing plans, which means you can find a suitable solution regardless of your business size and needs. We love project management tools that focus on one clear approach, so for GTD businesses we can highly recommend signing up with Nozbe.

If your business uses the OKR goal setting methodology, then Weekdone could be the work management tool for you. Whatever you (or any of your employees) are doing, the key goals of the task are always visible, making it easy for users to stay focused on the company mission.
When it comes to the minutiae of project management, Weekdone has it covered. There are live dashboards that give you a ‘one shot’ look at how a project is progressing. In addition, you also get regular reports and even receive personal feedback from individual users. We also really appreciated the fact that you can integrate other business tools (including Slack and Asana) into Weekdone. All in all, this is a superb solution for goal orientated businesses of all sizes.

OpenProject particularly shines in is dashboard view where we were able to look at multiple projects in a single chart as well as highlight changes to project schedules.

For companies and businesses at the smaller end of the scale looking for a cloud-based project management solution, we think Airtable is a great option. It’s mostly geared toward data organization and some collaborative tools. To do this, it uses a recognizable spreadsheet format where data can be linked together, for instance inventory items to vendors.
Depending on the plan, there are different prices for Airtable. However, it’s free for 1000 records/base or starts at $20/user/month for 50,000 records/base. For access across multiple devices and operating systems, Airtable is a great solution as we found it’s fully compatible. We liked that the mobile interface simply scales the spreadsheets down to tappable cards for easy access and reading. A key benefit for us in Airtable is the way it can be integrated with other services. Additionally, all tables are sharable, allowing users to track who and what changes have been made. A unique chat tool within documents allows for increased collaboration for efficient task completion rates.
