How to Use Zoho Projects successfully
Understand the basics of project management
In our experience, starting with an understanding of the difference between milestones and tasks correctly, many issues can fall into place.
Understanding management reporting
The first type of report is a milestone report. This report is generated when a project reaches a certain point in its time line, and allows for managers to see how much progress has been made on the project so far. The second type of report is a task report. This report displays all of the tasks that have been completed on the project, as well as tasks that are still in progress. These two reports are very useful for managers because they allow them to see if there are any gaps in their projects, or if everything is running smoothly.
Project admin to support users
Project administration is an important part of the project management process. It can be used for a variety of purposes such as reporting, tracking progress, analysing the cost and benefits of a project, or just to help with day-to-day tasks.
