Step #2: Plan

Plan SMART from the start

Step #1: Initiate

Everything you need to take your new project from first discussions right through to setting up your team's virtual office.

Start by creating a new dashboard. From here you can add team members, identify capacity for new work and assign or reassign tasks depending on the needs of your new project.
