Project management in the digital age is one of the most crucial tasks a business can achieve. However, to successfully manage their projects, businesses require an automated project tracker that keeps track of all the activities undertaken by their staff and project teams.

Automation of Project Activity Tracker

Manually tracking the progress of project activities and various tasks can be tedious, time-consuming, and ultimately fail to achieve the desired results. Automation provides the ability to easily record and analyze project activities and various tasks of the project, assigning each such activity to its respective steps while updating the status of the tasks.
