What is work management?
Work management is an organizational system for companies that streamlines tools and connects teams to efficiently deliver their goals. It’s a high-level view of what's happening across all projects within an organization. Work management includes:
- Project management: ensure individual project teams stay on track, manage budgets, and create deliverables
- Resource management: distribute work to your team based on their skills and availability
- Time management: balance workload and estimate accurate deadlines
- Collaboration: encourage information sharing and idea gathering
- Reporting: track progress, understand efficiency, and make educated decisions
Work management and project management are similar, but they have different scopes. Work management is across an entire company and business-wide goals, while project management focuses on executing a single project.
