Anyone who has spent time in the project management software industry can understand why the industry is valued at more than $6 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to top $15 billion by the end of the decade. For many companies, leaders and project managers, the need for a comprehensive resource management solution is well-established. As companies select the right platform, they evaluate many factors ranging from resource capacity planning, project forecasting, time tracking, reporting, and skills management. Additionally, companies must focus on selecting the best platform for ease of use and accessibility for its teams and employees.
Gartner® defines usability as “easy navigation, minimizing the number of clicks to perform functions and providing views without a lot of pop-ups. It also covers drag-and-drop movement of tasks, WYSIWYG, accessibility, HTML5, mobile device accessibility, intuitive configurability and user customization of home UI.” Any resource management platform must be built to maximize efficiency and ease of use for the user. From simple navigation to drag- drop movements, users should have the flexibility to navigate, manipulate and learn from the data.
