Visual Project Management

Avoiding errors in project management decision making has a lot to do with the project management software and how it visually represents the project. I did a quick google image search for project management software, and most of the images that appeared involved very bland screenshots of various software platforms for PM. Hardly any of them seemed visual pleasing to me. For some projects, or course, whether it is "visual" or not has no importance to actually getting things done. But, I think it's safe to say that ALL projects require form of visibility - every project needs accurate representation of its data. Out of all the images of project tools that I found, the most pleasing had the following forms of usability: 1) personal task management central, 2) team communication and collaboration central, 3) generated reports (plus advanced reporting capabilities). In each of these categories, the user functionality was increased with things like drag-and-drop editing, social-rich element commenting, and customizable layouts and views. Overall, it is important to avoid a visual project management tool that does not actually integrate into the company's information system infrastructure. Visual Project Management
