Question

PM Tools for team members

Project management, Developer collaboration tools, Software project management

Hi everyone!

I have a question to ask. I work in a small company (50 employees, more less). We develop software, via outsourcing. We don't work by projects: we work by tasks, our clients assign us the tasks they want us to develop. That's the reason why we have no Project Managers. My specific question is: in a company with such characteristics, is it necessary to teach project management tools and techniques to all developers?? If so, are there any specific tools that can help us do our work better??

Thank you in advance!!

A lot depends on what you want to achieve

It sounds like you're in a good position, as you can use task management skills rather than project management skills.
I suggest what you probrably need is to evaluate all the project management tools (including Excel!) using the client as the nominal project. Then when you have decided, get training for all your developers in how to use that particular piece of software.
