Working from home is a trend that's been gaining traction for some time, with a growth of 159% in the last 12 years. As more companies are shifting to a remote workforce in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of remote work is more top of mind than ever.

However, many users have concerns regarding existing project management tools that can create difficulties should widespread adoption of work from home policies take place. While it's easy to think that new technologies-such as cloud computing and mobile devices-will make working remotely very easy, there are unfortunately many legacy software products still in use today that will make the transition to remote work difficult.
