OverviewProvide a brief overview of the company's project collaboration platform / software, including whether the product is cloud based, on-premises, or both.Trello is a cloud-based visual project collaboration software that enables users to break down projects into small tasks and lists as well as organize cards that can contain thoughts, conversations, or to-do lists [1,2,3]. Moreover, the cards combined with lists and boards help teams to "organize and prioritize projects in a fun, flexible, and rewarding way." [4]
Trello is based on Kanban boards and is mobile-ready [2,3].
Lush, Pinterest, Google, Costco Wholesale, and Peloton are some of Trello's customers [4].
According to TechCrunch, "The visual organizing software has amassed some 4.6 million registered users — now with one million monthly actives — turning their projects, whether household to-do lists or corporate realignment plans, into visual boards using its cloud-based software." [5]		Ayoa task management platform provides users with a unique visual interface that enables them to set their priorities and choose a viewing style that will help them to meet deadlines [1].
The platform is available both online and offline making it flexible for users to work from wherever they are [1].
According to Ayoa's website, the software also contains a mind-mapping tool that boosts productivity by approximately 46% and this is what sets it apart from other task management platforms [1].
Ernest & Young, BBC, Bombardier, University of Cambridge, and Disney are some of Ayoa's clients [2].
A project manager working for HP said, "Ayoa designs a picture for me to view work status. This makes collaboration so much easier as people can report what they want during the day, resulting in fewer phone calls, less paperwork (with information the team needs to hand to me), and no to-do ‘lists’." [3]
PC World also stated that Ayoa is a "more intuitive way to manage workloads." [2]		According to Predictive Analytics, Asana is a project management software that enables effective team collaboration and communication by keeping everyone in the loop. The software platform allows users to "add teammates to projects and tasks, add them as task followers, share projects with them, or mention them in task comments." [1] This way, everyone knows who is doing what and when they will or should be done. [2]
Asana also combines the "elements of project management, file storage, and collaboration and helps to manage projects across a team without email." [3]
Some of Asana's clients include the New York Times, Deloitte, Spotify, Culture Amp, Figma, G2, and FireClay Tile [4,8].
Ryan Bonnici of G2 said, "Asana has been instrumental in enabling our team to grow by 6X and successfully scale our processes." [4]
Delijeh Snyder of Culture Amp also said, "Now the team can see what everyone is working on and plan for it. With Asana, we’re able to be strategic and proactive, rather than reactive, which has been critical." [4]		Workfront is a cloud-based project management software that helps companies to run efficiently as they can manage their entire lifecycle of work on the platform. The software's smart forms and real-time notifications enable users to communicate seamlessly and work on the right tasks at the right time [1].

Wrike's project collaboration software platform is cloud-based and it has user-friendly navigation with flexible project views for easier project management and collaboration [2]. According to the Digital Project Manager, in addition to users being able to easily shift from dashboards, timesheets, reports, and calendars, Wrike's simple interface also allows users to switch from "Kanban boards, interactive drag-and-drop Gantt charts, and traditional workload views, allowing them to choose how to visualize their priorities." [3]
Ogilvy's senior production said, "Everything I see now in Wrike is live and in its current status, which is a big plus to me. We can jump on the job, look at the last couple of comments on it, and pick up the ball up and run with it from there."[4]
Hootsuite's project manager also said, "Wrike makes me a much better project manager because I am able to track and monitor all of my projects in one place." [4]		Basecamp is a web-based project management software platform with a modern social media-like interface [1]. The platform's interface is easy to use something that enables users to collaborate effectively with both teammates and clients [2].
Additionally, the software is fully responsive and a user can manage as well as check the progress of his or her projects via a mobile phone while on the go [2].
Some of Basecamp's customers include NASA, Shopify, Quartz, 3M, and the University of Miami among others [3].
Dale Lavine of NASA said, "We've had less confusion with task responsibilities and deadlines, which has increased productivity and efficiency." [3]
Samantha Silberberg of Quartz also said, "We are all collaborating more on feedback, it helps to show accountability as well." [3]		Previously known as Dapulse, Monday.com is a project management collaboration software that syncs all information into one accessible hub [1].
The software's time tracking, collaboration, reporting, and project management features enable users to upload and attach files, make comments, and tag teammates among other things while its multiple dashboards allow better tracking of progress [2]. Monday.com also has a client board and companies can invite their clients to view project roadmaps if necessary [1].
The platform's simple and visually intuitive layouts also help companies to clarify the sequence of work and this is one of the things that makes it a great project management software [2].
Adobe, Hulu, Cocacola, BBC Studios, and Universal are some of Monday.com's customers [3].
The Chief Financial Officer at McChrystal Group, Shawn Murray, said; "Monday.com was instrumental in our firm's 60% revenue increase during the COVID-19 outbreak." [4]
Tye Rapley-Hawkins of Telefonica also said, "With monday.com, we’re 30% more efficient at delivering hundreds of campaigns seen by millions of customers." [4]		Zoho Projects is a cloud-based project management tool that helps companies get their projects done on time and within a budget [1,2]. The platform allows users to break their projects into "smaller milestones, tasks, and subtasks for easier tracking." [2]
The software's milestone feature enables users to assign end dates for milestones as well as due dates for the tasks within a milestone while the Kanban allows the users to visualize the workflow with parameters such as 'Task List', 'Priority' and 'Percentage Completed' among others [3]. Users can also collaborate through several channels such as forums, chat, feeds, and Wikis [2].
Some of Zoho Projects' clients include S&P Global, Siemens, Stanford University, Pepsico, and Caterpillar among others [1].
Paulina Mora of Cartodata said, "Before Zoho, we were chained to the desk at the office, after Zoho, we can be anywhere and be in charge of our projects."[4]
