Backlog

Project management is vital to any business. This is especially true when it comes to the business of software development. Backlog is a useful app for getting team members organized and sharing direction. Developing software typically involves teams of individuals who are working on different tasks at the same time. What this app does is help to keep everyone in the loop and make the development proceed more smoothly. Backlog keeps track of overall progress, but it also allows for the management of specific tasks. There is the ability to create to-do lists, and team members can tell at a glance where the project stands. The focus here is staying on top of the little tasks that lead to completion of the ultimate goal. The app eliminates miscommunication between team members. It helps team leaders to effectively communicate their plans to the entire team, share progress updates, and request assistance from other teams involved in the project. File sharing between team members is greatly simplified with Backlog. It only takes a click. Files can also be stored in the Cloud and encrypted for extra security. Team members won't have to worry about losing documents or misplacing files that need to be shared among numerous individuals. Everything is available in one convenient location. A Wiki feature allows team members to create their own Wikis for project details. The Wikis can then be edited by all team members. They can even be downloaded for reference when team members are not online. Backlog offers a free trial, and subscriptions can be purchased on several levels. Prices range from $16 per month to $145 per month. Smaller plans are best for companies with only a few employees. Plans vary in terms of caps on projects, users, and storage space.
