What does a project coordinator do?

Most project coordinators handle some or all of this. Pick the parts you need and we'll put them in your brief.

  • Project tool set-up

    Configure Asana, Monday, Trello, ClickUp or similar so your team will actually use it.

  • Workflow mapping

    Map how work moves through your team and find where it gets stuck.

  • Templates and checklists

    Build repeatable templates for common projects so steps don't get missed.

  • Simple automations

    Set up reminders, handovers and status changes inside your project tool.

  • Status updates and reporting

    Keep owners and clients informed with regular, clear progress updates.

  • Day-to-day coordination

    Chase actions, run check-ins and keep deadlines on track.

  • Team training

    Show your team how to use the tool and the new process with confidence.

  • Moving to a new tool

    Move projects and tasks from spreadsheets or another tool without losing history.

Do I need a project coordinator or an automation specialist?

Brief a project coordinator to organise the work and the people. If the goal is connecting systems so tasks happen automatically, see workflow automation.

Which project tool should we use?

It depends on your team and budget. A good coordinator will recommend a tool that fits how you work, rather than their personal favourite.
