Teambition

Providing an efficient environment for team members to cooperate usually translates in increased productivity and, considering how much of our daily work is happening online, it's easy to see why collaboration platform are so important and are surely but slowly becoming the norm.

Teambition is one such platform that's definitely worth looking at since it brings forth a versatile environment and a couple of handy tools in order help you and your team collaborate and manage projects efficiently.

For starters, we're going to point out that you can benefit from everything this platform has to offer via a web-app, two desktop clients for both Windows and macOS, as well as two mobile ones, for iOS and Android.

The Windows desktop app can be straightforwardly installed and, once logged in (either by creating a new Teambition account or by using an already existing WeChat one), you're greeted by the app's modern and intuitive user interface (identical to that of the web-app, mind you).

With accessibility taken care of, we can move forth by pointing out some of the app's highlights. For starters, working with Teambition implies creating a "project" which is the basic organizational unit within the app, and add members, and start defining tasks, posts, meetings, and group chats.

Fortunately, getting started shouldn't be much of a drag, even if you're a first time user thanks to the fact that app offers a useful set of project templates, which, we can only hope will be available in English sometime in the future.

The Task section might prove to be of particular interest since it provides you with a clear all-around view of the situation. You're also able to manage files by creating folders, schedule meetings, take notes, and manage tasks on various levels, assign tags, priorities, notes, subtasks, and other types of content.

Of course, the app offers simple chat options (with support for file transfer and emojis). It's also worth noting that the app is capable of previewing most common formats of office files like pictures, PDFs, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and even Photoshop files.

Quite interestingly, if you opt for the paid plans, you'll also be able to switch between three view modes (Panel View, Gantt Chart, and Table View) for your tasks. Some of the power-ups also include a professional Agile R&D Template, SSO Integration, and some powerful admin controls (enhanced permission management) and other analytics-related features.

Teambition is a pretty compelling collaboration and project management platform with enough advantages to make it worth your while, with neat features, intuitive design, decent pricing plans, and excellent accessibility (apps for most major OSes).

The only disadvantage is the fact that both templates and the documentation are only available in Chinese.
