As a PM, RQ, I can connect the project to other tools

PMPeople is a Project Portfolio Management tool (PPM). It does not force organizations to replace other tools. PMPeople integrates with the most common tools for scheduling, file sharing, task management, communication, CRM, idea management, defect tracking, etc.Manager roles (PMA, PMO, PfM, PgM, PM) and also Requesters (RQ) can setup these integrations at INITIATION > Project Data > Connect:

Users accessing the project can see tool icons. If enabled, they can click to access the integrated tool. Disabled means not integrated.

For instance, if documents and files are shared in Google Drive, then the File Sharing Tool icon can be setup to link the project folder. This way, when users click the icon, then Google Drive tool can open that folder, provide access to documents, manage security, versioning, etc. The same approach is valid with other file sharing tools like Dropbox, One Drive, Sharepoint, Box, etc.

One professional project management good practice consists of separating project management in two levels: Managers can control projects by managing project work packages. Team Members can control the project by managing project tasks.

Current integration moves data only in one direction: from Asana to PMPeople.
