At Community At Work, as we continue to build out our body of knowledge on multi-stakeholder collaboration, we've lately been giving a lot of attention to implementation philosophy. So I was delighted to find this great list of tools that can be applied at the project level of an initiative. I'm a big fan of Trello -- I'd love to read about any experiences folks have had with any of the others on this list.
PS: Our March 5-day Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration workshop is now sold out. The next chance to attend in San Francisco is July 20-24.

Hive rounds up the best software for project management including Basecamp, Asana, Monday.com, Zoho, ClickUp, Float, and Trello.
