Looking for a team management tool for remote working. (Finally starting my own business 🚀)
33
Hi everyone! I've been working for the last three months to start my own SaaS business and finally, I made it. 🙂🙃 Just started to form a team and we're 4 now and we do not expect to grow more than 10 people for the upcoming 6-12 months. It was easy to manage everything until now with WhatsApp groups but I need a team management tool to get everything more organized. I checked a couple of tools but they seem pretty much the same. So do you have any suggestions on which tool to use? Any suggestion or comment is welcomed. Thanks in advance!

I haven’t personally used it but had a lot friends who used Monday.com, I guess it is worth checking.

Not for business stuff but for education, I use Notion. It has lovely features for educational use, and I believe that it will work for your team too. By the way, congrats and good luck!

Have you heard of Rock.so? It's a cool a new way of collaborating and communicating remotely, we're launching on PH soon, feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to check it out :) https://Rock.so -- It's free!

I like to think of these in a few categories that I think can be important even for small teams. You might find that some tools work across multiple categories. Below are the categories I think about and some examples of products in each. - Communication. How are you communicating on a daily basis? Support for integration of important message / alerts from your main SaaS tools can be a big help here. Slack, Microsoft Teams - Task Management. Many options here that do a lot of different things. A simple spot to start is anything that provides a Kanban board. Kanban boards: Trello , Notion , Jira Tools that do more: Asana , monday.com - Knowledge Base. Where do you collect important information so people can find it? Notion , Confluence, Stack Overflow for Teams We happen to use: Communication: Slack Task Management: Trello / GitHub Projects Knowledge Base: Notion

Check trackabi.com for project planning and estimates, time tracking, and employee leave management. Other then that stay in touch with your team using Slack, Skype or whatever else you prefer. Create a separate chat group for every project.

Monday, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Hubspot are all very popular ones if you are wanting a feature rich option and depending on your needs for it.

Team management tools are a bit overrated. There are a lot of useful tools that you can use, even a Google Spreadsheet works pretty well. It all comes to how well you are tracking those tools. You can use the best tool out there — unfortunately I don’t know which — but unless you have a someone who is managing it well, they become obsolete.

Congrats with this move! Try out Notion. We started with Trello. It was okay at the early stage. Don't forget to apply for perks as cash is the king for every startup ))

Hi Ege :) I'm currently working with some guys on a team management tool. For now we're on beta test phase so it's completely free - firmbee.com Please don't treat it as a stupid self promotion as the tool is free and I think it's worth to give it a try ;) I also use Monday in a travel club organisation, seems intuitive - as for a regular user (not manager of a team).

Hey! I'm launching a tool for effective remote team management very soon- www.undiffer.com With this application, your team would be able to check-in, create goals, add blockers, track time, and do much more to save time and increase productivity! It will help you to eliminate your daily stand-up meetings thereby creating more time to work and focus better! Do check out and request an invite for early beta access! :)

I highly recommend ClickUp for your general productivity management and team task assignment. Its free and scales with you. highly recommend :D. Good luck with your startup!

Trello! It helped us a lot during this remote work time. It was a recurring saying in our weekly meetings that "if you want me to do something, just post it on my trello board" :)

We're using Slack for team communications, Clubhouse for project management and Google Drive for documents.

Hello! Nice to read that you're starting your own business, congrats! I'd just like to say first that regardless of the tools, the most important thing is to make good use of them in order to avoid getting lost and missing information. I'd recommend Slack for sharing information and discussions and Notion as a project management tool :) Hope it helps!

Hello @egeyalcinkaya 4 people can manage on Trello But if you are planning to grow then Slack is a better option.

Our team is using Monday, Slack and Notion. Slack is the most used tool in our team, Notions we use it for organizing or filing some documents. We started to use Monday recently but not that used to it.. maybe it's too much of team management tool for a team.
Bryan Seok
@bryanseok @egeyalcinkaya Good luck on your team! if I had to start a small team, I would just use Notion for filing and stacking up insights. And use other free desktop messenger for communication.

I adopted ProProfs Project(https://www.proprofsproject.com/) about a year ago to manage my software projects. It helps me organize my tasks and track due dates in real-time. It is an easily scalable tool, allowing me to manage my projects and teams in one place. Its reporting capabilities provide rich insights into team performance and overall project progress. Also, its multiple project views, such as Gantt chart, Kanban board, and Calendar view, help visualize project status on the go. You can try its 15-day free trial version and see if it suits your team's needs. All the best!

Congratulations on starting your own business @egeyalcinkaya that's awesome! I know this post was made a while back but you should definitely give oVice a try for your remote work setting. We design and provide access to virtual spaces in the metaverse for our users to customize and make their own. Our goal is to bring more of those in-human connections you may get in the physical office into the virtual world by allowing users to interact with their peers in real time and use our various plug-ins/features to really promote connectedness and collaboration. You can check us out at tour-en.ovice.in to have a look around and see how it works! :)

I don't believe that there's a special tool for remote work. I believe all management tools are already suited for remote work, since it allows you to allocate work without directly seeing each other.
