You may also want to make sure to choose project management software that has some kind of reminder system for when deadlines are approaching. It is instrumental if all those involved get reminder emails or some other kind of reminder before deadlines so that they are less likely to be missed. If there is a problem meeting the deadline it will be observed sooner rather than later if everyone is reminded that the deadline is coming up. Then they will be able to notify the appropriate people if there is a hold up that will make it nearly impossible to meet a deadline.

It is also a good idea if all documents and materials that are relevant to the project is stashed away in one location by the project management software. This way each one will know where to go if they are looking for a specific document that they need to reference. When there is a record of all the emails sent about a project you can also have accountability since there is a copy that can be matched to see what was said and when it was said. It is handy if all aspects of a project, from budgets to time, resources, and issue tracking are all handled by the same project management software package.
