GirlGoneGeek says: When you need to do more than capture a quick doodle, a few lines of text, or a checkbox, it may be time to move beyond mainstream apps like Evernote and Springpad. As more and more business professionals are turning to smartphones and tablets for daily use, apps are evolving to keep up with the requirements of serious project managers.
GirlGoneGeek's picks
  1. Thinking Space Pro
    Thinking Space Pro While the PC software NovaMind has taken brainstorming from the whiteboard to the computer screen, this high-functioning app brings it to your Android. Looks great on a tablet and comes in a free (ad-supported) version too.
  2. Smart Diagram Lite
    Smart Diagram Lite Use this app to create flowcharts and process maps on the go. It's like an itty-bitty-ultra-lightweight Visio.
  3. NotesMappr - Notepad Notes
    NotesMappr - Notepad Notes This is the super-powered version of my old standard Evernote. It's a little more complicated, but the association functions (linking related notes together) are a business-savvy touch. Not optimized for tablet yet (boo), but hopefully it's coming. Try the free trial before the paid version.
  4. MPM - Mobile Project Manager
    MPM - Mobile Project Manager WOW. You'll REALLY keep it all together here with your project calendars, Gantt charts, notes and more. Do you hear that, PMs? GANTT CHARTS! Free trial version also available.
  5. Action Method
    Action Method This app has an option to bring your whole team together by creating accounts that link you together for your project info. You can have discussions, contact integration, reminders, share notes, and more.
