Session 6


Task A

List down benefits that this tool offers to project managers.

The benefits of Zoho to project managers have been listed below:

·       Efficient and effective project planning: the ability to break down milestones in tasks and further into sub tasks to make them manageable. Also being able to assign tasks and monitor progress in real-time.

·       Gantt Charts provide an expected or committed timeline against real-time progress, which is also broken-down task-wise, providing areas in which more resources may be required or areas wherein progress requires expedition.

·       A variety of other reporting tools have also been provided in order to understand task-wise and team member-wise performance in terms, issues, achievements, and interface to share reports directly with clients. This also includes a calendar which provides a macro and micro view to understand every detail of progress being made. 

·       Live Feeds – message board on which all members of the team can leave comments in one place while also providing a platform for them to socialize. Another great feature is chatrooms – which provide teams members with the ability to directly connect with each other and discuss ideas and solutions. Both of these features help project managers improve efficiency by not having to organize team meetings and being able to resolve issues almost immediately. Through these features project managers also have a good idea of the conversations between team members.

·       The project manager and other team members can create wiki pages so that team members don’t have to waste time organizing a meeting to understand technical aspects or other topics. They can simply access these pages and understand matter while being able to request further elaboration.

·       A document center has been provided so that all members don’t have to go back and forth over emails, and everyone is in sync as the latest version of a document is available to all. This reduces time wasted in managing files and sharing them. Also, the project manager can access all the latest information without asking individual members for it.

·       Zoho also offers a high degree of integration with Google services i.e. Drive, Gmail, and login, making it easy for all members to use their software and reducing time spent on training to use the software. In addition, there are mobile apps for iOS and Android devices from which the project manager can view all the above details. It also allows team members to work remotely while being able to update the rest of the team on tasks, issues and progress.
