Earlier this year we started using a time tracking solution called Hubstaff and, I have to tell you, it\u2019s amazing. They now offer a project management app called Hubstaff Tasks. It utilizes the best parts of Agile to help you and your team get work done in a way that removes the hassle and just makes sense. Hubstaff Tasks utilizes Kanban boards like so many other PM tools out there but they\u2019ve added extra features like automated workflows that let you move projects through the workflow and automatically assign tasks to whoever needs to work on them next, all with one click.

Hubstaff Tasks also has a Sprints feature that allows you to organize all your tasks into a true agile weekly Sprint. Oh, and here\u2019s a new feature they just added where you can set daily Standups to cover the three golden questions in the agile world: \u201cWhat did you work on today?\u201d, \u201cWhat will you work on tomorrow?\u201d, \u201cHave you run into any roadblocks?\u201d

Hubstaff Tasks only launched this past June and there are already thousands of organizations already using it. And here\u2019s the cool thing: since they\u2019re still so new, anyone can start using Hubstaff Tasks today completely free, regardless of team size. Head over to hubstafftasks.com/projects to learn more. Thanks!

I often say in our project management workshops that they\u2019re really leadership workshops cloaked as project management workshops. I say that because so much of our ability to successfully lead projects doesn\u2019t come down to our ability to define and calculate the critical path. It isn\u2019t just having a project charter. It\u2019s more about how to facilitate and influence stakeholders to get an agreed-upon charter. It\u2019s not about having the perfect risk register format. It\u2019s about fostering a culture that allows risks to be talked about and dealt with.
