Asana</em></h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://asana.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Asana</a> has a great app that allows me to organize tasks based on projects and assign them to my team members with due dates. I can quickly and easily check on my phone or laptop in order to see how the team is progressing on their individual and group projects. I use the mobile app to stay up-to-date on tasks, and I can comment briefly to become more involved when needed, even while on vacation. – <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/dianamgoodwin\" target=\"_blank\">Diana Goodwin</a>, <a href=\"http://aquamobileswim.com/\" target=\"_blank\">AquaMobile Swim School</a></p>\r\n<h3><em>7.

Workboard</em></h3>\r\n<p>We use <a href=\"http://www.workboard.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Workboard</a> frequently. After trying dozens of tools for tracking priority tasks, all of them failed us until now. Workboard has just enough process without having too much and allows us to accurately track priority tasks.

Hipchat</em></h3>\r\n<p>I find that <a href=\"https://www.hipchat.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Hipchat</a> is one of the best apps for keeping in touch with my team, no matter where everyone is at the moment. It’s compatible with everything -- Windows, Mac, Android, Linux -- so we can use it to connect no matter device someone is on. The basic features are free, but you can also add extra features like video calling. – <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ShawnPorat\" target=\"_blank\">Shawn Porat</a>, <a href=\"http://www.fortunecookieadvertising.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Fortune Cookie Advertising </a></p>\r\n<h3><em>13. Github</em></h3>\r\n<p>As a company heavily focused on development, we use <a href=\"https://github.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Github</a> as our code repository. I can log in and see the progress and milestones, as well as a birds-eye view of the next software version release. – <a href=\"http://twitter.com/@syedbalkhi\" target=\"_blank\">Syed Balkhi</a>, <a href=\"http://optinmonster.com/\" target=\"_blank\">OptinMonster</a></p>\r\n<h3><em>14. Trello</em></h3>\r\n<p>We use <a href=\"http://www.trello.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Trello</a> to manage our workflow and company projects. If I wanted to keep on top of the company while on vacation (which would ruin the entire goal of a vacation), I'd jump on the Trello mobile app to see what progress everyone is making on the various projects they are working on.
