Casey’s eTip: Pick a Task/Project Management Software that’s Right for You

*Integration with email: Your email inbox is where many projects and tasks arrive so connecting them with your project tracking software is useful
*Easy-to-use phone app: If you need to access your work while on the go, ensure that you find the phone app comfortable to use
