Shared project tools are special instruments that support and promote collaborative work style that implies using shared project calendar (shared timeline and coordinated agendas), shared tree of tasks and using other shared project management methods to stay in touch with latest project achievements and progression. Shared tree of tasks (project break-down structure) divides your project into various elements to see how they are interrelated, how the senior elements of the project are subdivided into smaller parts and how responsibilities are assigned over the shared project.

The point of shared project tools is achieving better engagement of multiple persons into shared project management through handling shared project calendar and participating in joint activities. The best, modern way to get and keep the whole your project team fully informed about various details of shared project management, including costs and budget, and support project execution in terms of tasks – is to implement shared project system that will facilitate your operations in all areas of shared project management. Let’s consider example of such software.
