You’d think that the remote-style of working would make it a lot easier to manage software projects. That’s not always the case, and with the ever-growing complexity of software development, the challenge only gets greater.

Today’s software market is so saturated with choice that it can be difficult to know where to start. With so many tools available, and new products being released on a daily basis, it can be challenging to keep up.
