I hear a lot of frustration lately from web development and web design firms. Their project managers do not know what all team members are working on. Even worse, their clients do not understand their progress.
A new breed of project management tools have made it easier for all team members to track and update the status of the tasks they are working on, thus improving transparency and visibility, resulting in greater productivity.
But clients are still in the dark.
With the Assembla cloud-based project management software, agencies provide clients on-demand access into their workflow and begin a trusting relationship with their clients. Even if the client never actually bothers to drill down into the agency workflow, just the fact that they have access is suffice for clients to have higher trust with their provider.
Productivity increases when team members feel that they are a part of a mission bigger than themselves. In fact, making an effort to boost company morale is still one of the aspects of workplace motivation that money cannot buy. Collaboration on Assembla continues to help employees and clients working on a project together feel significant.
The sense of togetherness occurs most when employees and clients regularly communicate with one another. When a clients and teams connect on Assembla Portfolio, they get the tools that connect workers and clients, regardless of where they are on planet earth.
Everybody immediately knows what someone on the other side of the world is doing, says Arisnova R+D+I Leader Pau Garcia i Quiles.
Garcia also states his enthusiasm concerning Assembla
