What is Project or Task Management Tools?

Project or task management tools, also known as workflow organizers or task trackers, are digital applications designed to help individuals and teams plan, organize, and monitor their work. These tools improve productivity by breaking down complex projects into manageable tasks, assigning responsibilities, and setting deadlines. They often include features like calendars, progress tracking, and collaboration options, making it easier to stay on top of multiple projects.
