Paymo
We recently had the chance to try out Paymo, a project management tool designed for universities. We were impressed with the features and functionality of the tool. Here's a quick overview of what we liked about it.
The interface is clean and user-friendly. The dashboard provides an overview of your projects and tasks, and you can easily switch between them. The project management features are robust and include task lists, milestones, and task dependencies. You can also create custom reports to track your progress.
One of the best things about Paymo is that it integrates with Google Drive, so you can attach files and documents to tasks and projects. This is really helpful for keeping track of everything in one place.
