Transforming project management with the right tools and ways of working

Executive summary

As a project manager, your average workday might include a sprawling suite of tools, siloed teams working independently, and tons of meetings, status updates, and deadlines. It can be hard to keep track of all the projects and information that live across various tools.

The best way to solve these problems with siloed teams is an integrated work management system that connects tools and teams. But having the right tools is not all you need to be a successful project manager - you also need to adopt practices that improve the way you work across teams.

In this guide for project managers, we cover best tips and practices for every stage of a project from:

• Setting your project up for success
• Planning your team’s work
• Managing ongoing work
• Assessing project performance

Together with a unified system of work and resources from the Atlassian Playbook, every project manager has the tools they need to drive projects forward, communicate with stakeholders, and improve team dynamics.
