Evaluating Project Team Management Software

Coordinating and managing project teams has always been a complicated process. This process is made more difficult with the growth of remote project teams. Over the past several years, a wide variety of project management applications that have a focus on team communication and management have been released. Many of these applications are web-based.

In this week’s assignment, we will be evaluating a number of these different applications, to better understand the features that are available, and how different applications compared to each other.

Evaluate three web-based project team management applications.
- One of these applications must be Freedcamp
- Possible applications:
  - https://freedcamp.com
  - https://www.trello.com/
  - https://www.wrike.com/
  - https://basecamp.com
  - https://www.zoho.com/projects/
  - https://www.teamgantt.com/
  - https://www.teamgantt.com/
  - https://www.openproject.org
  - There are many others as well
Create a comparison table that evaluates applications based on the following criteria:
- usability
- communication features
- project/task management features
- ability to share files
- ability to track time
- ability to schedule work
- price
- number of users
- feel free to add additional criteria as you see fit
Write a short (250 word) recommendation on which application you would select, and why. Include your comparison table in this memo.
