This week:                                                                                                                                       

1. Performance Management:
BambooHR is a great performance management tool for small businesses and medium-sized organizations. Its performance review system is made for the redefined performance management landscape including frequent check-ins. It comes with an impressive reporting feature that provides real-time insights on high-performers and people with performance issues.
​
2. Multipurpose CRM:
Perhaps you'd rather get a quick glance at your contacts' info without having to click through to their individual page. That's what Clevertim does best. It shows you a quick summary of your contact info right in the contact list, so if all you need is to look up an email or phone number you'll likely be able to do it without a click. You can then filter your lists easy by name, location, and more, to get even more details without having to click through to individual contact pages.

3. Diagramming Software: 
Lucidchart is an flexible yet powerful flowchart and diagram software that integrates with other collaboration tools, enabling visual collaboration for teams. It allows for any user to take a concept, whether developed or not, and bring it to life through a collaborative process.

4. Calendar App: 
Any.do is our pick of the best all-round calendar app. It is available on mobile and desktop platforms, but it really shines on mobile thanks to an easy-to-use interface that gives you all the tools and information you need on smaller touchscreens. 

5. Ecommerce App: 
Groupon app provides ‘deal of the day’ recommendation services for their customers. Users are lured to avail great offers on a variety of things they need in general (such as eating out at a restaurant or shopping at a fashion store or even a tropical getaway).

You finally delivered the project and had the go live drinks. The team is now breaking up but there are a few things the project manager needs to do to make sure the project is closed and wrapped up. These are grouped into:

• Scope management- did everything get delivered
• Risk and issues- what is still outstanding
• Financials- did everything get paid ?
• Resources- have resources been re assigned ?
• Lessons learned
• Documentation & archiving
