Be a proactive project manager and get online on different platforms. For example, social media has brought with it great success with regard to sharing of information. Mobile applications meant for project management have been developed, to enable sharing of project information with smaller groups in the teams, unlimited clientele, vendors and other parties privy to the project. These applications provide a platform on which managers can post information regarding plans, tasks and their due dates and ultimately administer the work.
Other applications offer project portfolio, document, resource and budget and expense management coupled with project planning, social and email collaboration. Having all these in your phone and easily accessible not only goes a long way in improving the manner in which you handle projects but also reduces the time and effort that would be spent in doing all these manually.

This is what will save money, time, and it will ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to the project.
As the project manager, your duty is to find out ways in which all participants can be fully involved and can contribute to their level best to make the project go forward quickly.
