# Why do we need a project management tool?

## 1) Transparent Responsibility

Knowing who is doing what & sharing responsibility for tasks after a meeting or assembly without getting lost in Google Docs is a huge advantage of ClickUp.

This makes life easier for the whole team, who can simply check the software to see what they are supposed to be doing and when it needs to be done by – an effective and time-saving win for everyone.

## 2) Better Planning

Keeping track of milestones in a project can be tricky, especially as every single team member needs to know what has to be completed and by when.&#x20;

To combat this, collaborative project management software like ClickUp can employ ***clear and easy-to-follow charts of the project timeline*** which can then be constantly updated. This is highly useful when things inevitably change at a moment’s notice and resources have to be shifted.

## 3) Easier Collaboration

Many tasks overlap commissions and locational boundaries and sometimes it can be difficult for each team member to be aware of what is happening outside their immediate circle.

## 4) Document Sharing and Access

One of the added benefits of having everything centralized in one place is the greater control team members have over documents. Documents can be easily searched for & found. Any modifications are tracked which results in more accountability and transparency over who has changed what.

## 5) Integrate New Team Members

Onboarding new activists can be a daunting experience for both parties, as a wealth of information and context has to be explained and learnt in a very short space of time. With an easy-to-use tool like ClickUp, any new additions to the team can clearly review the progress of the project from the start, as well as any direction changes along the way.

## 6) Remote Working

Collaborative project management software allows team members to work effectively without becoming detached from the team.
