I'd mention a Gantt chart among the best PM tools. It provides a visual timeline of tasks and their dependencies that makes it ideal for managing schedules and deadlines. In contrast, a work breakdown structure (WBS) offers a hierarchical decomposition of a project into manageable components, helping teams focus on smaller, actionable tasks. The comparison between a Gantt chart vs WBS https://blog.ganttpro.com/en/gan... lies in their use: a Gantt chart excels in scheduling and tracking progress, while WBS is a foundational tool for project planning and task organization. Other notable tools include Kanban boards.
When choosing a task management tool, consider your project's complexity and your team’s preferences.
Hopefully, that was useful.
Personally, I like Notion but it's getting a bit bloated and slow lately... for notes and basic todos it's great. I used to use trello, but switched to Notion a few years ago.
I've used Jira, Monday.com, Asana... all great for different reasons and purposes.
I use Jira for large projects and GitLab issues for smaller ones. It depends on the team size and our end business goals. For documentation, I use Notion, though I recently started exploring Microsoft Loop.
Personally I use Blitzit! It is my to go tool for efficient work ! Other tools generally get ignored but this one let me stay focused thanks to their sound and visual cue every 10 min
Oh and they just launched on product hunt Blitzit
I’m going to sound dumb but… After years of using Trello, Asana and Microsoft Projects my go to tool now is Reminders by Apple.
It’s simple, effective and everything synced.
