Lucas uses project management software for managing all his projects. Which output of project management software is used to assign tasks?

Milestones Correct! Project management software defines the steps on how to complete a project based on input parameters, such as milestones.

online application software

One of the newer online collaboration systems.For instance, two or more users can access the same spreadsheet, word processor, or presentation software and share its data and information

Which category do Google Docs and Dropbox fall within?

Productivity apps Correct! They enhance productivity by providing services that businesses can use.

Although there are a number of social media platforms, they can be categorized into seven distinct types.

Social networking Bookmarking sites Social news Media sharing Microblogging Forums and blogs Social reviews

The following are examples of function-specific software:

Stock market management software to manage your portfolio Supply chain management software Communications and collaboration software, such as MS Teams Group teaching software, such as AdobeConnect Mathematical software, such as MathLab Desktop publishing Webinar software Robotic control software
