Technical communicators frequently work both formally and informally as project managers who organize collaborative projects that are carried about by large teams. Managing projects and facilitating collaborative work requires a number of software tools, including time tracking tools, presentation software, and virtual meeting applications. Technical communicators use meeting based presentation software on a regular basis, during both live-meeting and remote sessions.

How project management and collaboration software are used in organizations:

• In product based organizations, presentation software are used to do product demos and product update presentations.
• Knowledge on meeting related software are considered a great asset for new graduates since technical communicators will be expected to be part of product development life cycle throughout the lifetime of the product, before and after its release. Presentations are made on a weekly basis about product updates.
• Presentation software are also used during training and development workshops within the organization.
