The shift from an office-based culture to remote working that has characterized companies in the last few years, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, has been a huge challenge in many aspects. Both managers’ and employees’ experiences have been deeply affected, while a new set of issues and problems have arisen.

The difficulty in managing a remote crew and the challenges of digitally connecting people who are geographically separated have forced many organizations to rethink their processes and methods of working. Innovative approaches have come into place and in this new era, online project management solutions have made their way. These tools have become every project manager’s best alley.
