Project collaboration software aims to increase the productivity of employees involved in project management by streamlining communications, collaboration, and remote work. The best project collaboration software is based on a collaborative project management method, which is used by companies to plan, coordinate, and control distributed projects. This type of software can be used by project managers, other employees involved in the project, and external contributors.
With a focus on collaboration, this type of software doesn’t always include advanced features to manage products. As a result, project collaboration software often integrates with project management software or project and portfolio management software. It also integrates with other software for collaboration & productivity.
To qualify for inclusion in the Project Collaboration category, a product must:
Provide features for chat, discussions, and internal or external communications
Allow users to share documents and content, including version control
Manage private and team calendars by department or at the company level
Help users collaborate, comment, or share tasks and project details
Define custom workspaces and project views for internal and external sharing
Manage access rights to documents, chat, calendars, and project views
