These days, it’s becoming less and less important for us to work from the office. With tons of powerful cloud storage options, video conferencing and project management tools available, we can build huge projects with people halfway across the world without ever meeting in person!
Some project management tools are particularly well suited to this kind of work. So let’s take a look at some of the best options available.

Orchestra
Orchestra is great for agencies and other companies that outsource a lot of their tasks. It lets you easily assign tasks and then watch the status change as your teammates work through them. It’s attractively designed and has lots of features that speed up workflow.

PHPCollab
PHPCollab is a more basic alternative to Orchestra that works in PHP. It lets you assign tasks and upload files as you complete them and also lets people find their own open tasks to work on. While PHPCollab is slower and uglier than Orchestra, it’s also free and very simple to sign up and start using.

Sqwiggle
Sqwiggle is a project management system that incorporates video chat. This lets employers and managers see photos of their team working throughout the day, and when they want to chat, it’s just a quick click to do so.

Google Docs
Google Docs is fantastic for project management, as it allows you to edit documents in real-time and to see what others are doing. You can see who is viewing a given file at any given time as well, to ensure that you’re not all making changes and undoing each other’s hard work! Throw in the office suite and impressive storage, and this is a very capable piece of software.

Asana
Asana is one of the biggest and best known project management tools, and it has a number of great features that make it perfect for remote working. Again, teams can create and organize tasks, assign responsibilities, and set goals.

Realtime Board
Realtime board isn’t a project management tool, but it can be a very useful supplementary app. This is basically a real-time whiteboard that you can use to brainstorm ideas online. You can also add sticky notes, and it’s a very natural and easy means of communication.

Slack
Slack is sometimes referred to as a team chat app, but really, it goes beyond this and is almost a remote office. As well as letting you chat to your co-workers, this also allows you to see feeds from various online tools, including Trello and more.
