Project Management Software for Agencies

Project Management Software for Agencies

Great project management software can be a powerful tool for your agency, but there are lots of choices available. It can be time-consuming and costly to adopt new project management software for agencies, so how do you choose?

This week’s guest on the Progressive Agency podcast is Gray MacKenzie, CEO of ZenPilot. ZenPilot specializes in helping agencies take advantage of ClickUp, an all-in-one project management platform designed specifically for agencies.

In this episode of the Progressive Agency podcast, Gray explains what agencies should be looking for when evaluating the various project management software platforms, he outlines what sets ClickUp apart from its competitors, and he offers insights into why choosing the right project management software for agencies can make such a dramatic difference for your agency’s efficiency and ability to get more done.

Choosing the Right Project Management Software for Agencies

Gray explained that evaluating your options, understanding your goals, and matching your needs to the right project management software for agencies is crucial. The onboarding process typically takes around 10 weeks to complete, plus there are financial expenses to consider. That’s why choosing the right platform is so important, because going back to square one can be costly in both time and money.

It’s important to consider the features of project management software and ensure that all your boxes are being checked. Don’t buy into the marketing and do your due diligence before choosing which project management software for agencies will best meet your needs.

Making a Smooth Transition

Once you’ve selected a platform from the long list of project management software for agencies, it’s then important to get employee buy-in and ensure that everyone is trained on the new project management tools. Partnering with an agency like ZenPilot can help you make a much smoother transition and hit the ground running, as well.
