We can use Trello to manage tasks in real time. We can manage: what tasks there are to do, who is assigned to each task, the current status of the tasks, and which ones have been completed. People can also add: comments on tasks, add check lists, and can also add attachments to it.

we chose Insightly because its email-messenger and reports mean not only can staff communicate but they also have the ability to share progress or other information to each other which could be used to encourage discussion, project tracking also allows employees and managers to stay up to date with projects. 

Insightly also offers different payment plans including a free option, making it more accessible.

Instightly uses a simple drag and drop interface that makes it easy to use and for people to collaborate. The user interface is displayed and updated in real time and also has a FaceBook like appearance which means users would already feel accustom to its use, it also allows for integration with many applications and multiple mobile platforms which allows it to be flexible meaning it is used in many industries. Insightly provides project management and the ability for users to generate multiple types of reports from the dash board. 

We selected  Basecamp2  because it’s free for 60 days, basic and easy to use.   
Basecamp provides a very useful method of internal communication.  
It is easy to discuss and make plans with your team members and clients involved in a project.
it is easy to upload files such as meeting minutes, diagram or any other important documents.
setting up a project and inviting team members is done by entering the emails of the people you wish to involved to end the project.

This is a very useful tool that is easy to use. However, we don't think we would use it as a main communication because we have to pay for it after the free trials runs out.

· The products aesthetics 

· It’s ease of use 

· It is readily accessible 

· The pricing structure is very good, for example $10 a month, for a team that contains up to 3 members and $20 a month, for a team that contains 4 – 15 members 

· Jira is also provided to open source projects that meet certain criteria through Atlassian. Companies that also come under the category of non-academic, non-commercial, non-governmental, non-political, non-profit, and secular are also provided a free version. 

· The systems use of shortcuts are very good 

· Navigating the product is simple and easy 

· Users can create tasks and sub-tasks easily 

· The management of these tasks and sub-tasks are also very easy because of all the indicators that are shown for the task for example: the status of the task, due date etc. 

 

We decided to use Trello because its many pros outweigh its cons. It is free to join and good for smaller businesses in its basic form. The message boards are updated in real time and anyone who is invited to the group can add a board, edit existing boards, and add comments to the existing boards as well. 

The user can receive emails of updates to the boards they can see via email so even if the user is away from the program, they will receive information about what has been added or altered. Unfortunately there is no Realtime chat unless you have a gold membership and integrate with Slack.
