Project management tools. Do you need them? It depends. Listen as I share which tools are out there, which I recommend, and when I recommend that you use them.    For the most part, when used properly, project management tools make your life so much easier. When you’re running a business and have any number of team members however, they are essential.    As a photographer with no team, you can map out your tasks, link them to your calendar, and keep on track of your sessions and post-session work.
