Your business moves quickly, so organization and efficiency are key. As deadlines, projects, and tasks pile up, how can you be sure nothing slips through the cracks?
In a rapidly-changing and fast-paced business world, project management tools track your progress and improve collaboration by giving the entire team clarity.
If you use a WordPress website, project management plugins are a must. And if you already use Ninja Forms to create WordPress forms — or you’re interested in getting started — all the better!
At Ninja Forms, we offer several project management integrations for workflow success.
Why integrate Project Management plugins with WordPress forms?
What do forms have to do with project management? The information you receive via web forms directly influences your tasks and projects. Rather than move that data manually, Ninja Forms’ project management plugins do the work for you.
For example, when a client fills out an event registration form on your site, the below project management tools can shuffle that information directly into your project management dashboard, allowing the appropriate team member to address it quickly.
The 5 Best Project Management Plugins for WordPress
At Ninja Forms, project management plugins for WordPress come in two forms: native or via Zapier.
Ninja Forms + Project Management Tools: Native Integration
1. Trello
Trello is a popular project management tool that uses a Kanban-style methodology, which is a visual approach. Tasks are organized using boards, lists, and cards, allowing users to instantly see the various stages of their projects, from “to-do” to “in process” to “complete.” Move the cards along as you make progress — it’s very satisfying! Trello also offers workflow automation and calendar tools for complete efficiency.
Trello is an affordable project management solution with a variety of plan options. There’s a limited free version plus three paid plans with enhanced capabilities.
Ninja Forms offers native integration with Trello, allowing you to connect your WordPress forms and project management tools with ease. Learn how to connect your Ninja Forms, and Trello accounts here and how to create Trello cards from WordPress form submissions here.
Ninja Forms + Project Management Tools: Zapier Integrations
The below project management plugins for WordPress can be integrated with Ninja Forms via Zapier. Zapier is an incredible tool that allows users to unite their favorite digital products for a more seamless workflow. See the top Zapier integrations for WordPress here!
To integrate any of the following PM tools with Ninja Forms, you’ll need to:
- Create a Zapier account
- Get our Zapier add-on (Note that our Pro and Elite plans include Zapier)
- Create an account with your desired PM tool (Monday, Asana, etc.)
2. Monday
Monday is a comprehensive digital platform featuring tools for CRM, marketing, software development, and — of course — project management. Their PM solution helps users plan projects, manage tasks, track time, and automate workflow. Like Trello, tasks can be organized in a visually-compelling way. While Monday has robust functionality, it’s still user-friendly.
Monday plans include Free, Basic, Standard, Pro, and Enterprise, so organizations of all sizes can find the appropriate solution for their needs.

3. Asana
Another popular workflow tool, Asana, is a common choice among large brands looking to reduce silos in their organizations. Their PM tool allows you to organize your projects into lists, timelines, or boards for greater cross-department efficiency. Asana also offers informative reporting for organization-wide data, allowing brands to prioritize their highest-impact work. Like the other PM solutions on this list, Asana includes workflow automation and app integration.
Choose between Asana’s three plans: Basic (free), Premium, and Business.

4. Basecamp
Basecamp takes projects from disorganized to delightful. This solution unites all aspects of project management into one platform, featuring message boards, Slack-style chats, file sharing, visual task organization, and more. Basecamp’s simple design means teams can focus more on completing their work and less on deciphering confusing layouts and functionalities. Basecamp’s founders are committed to simplifying work, even writing books on the subject.
Basecamp offers two plans. The basic version is $15 per month, while Pro Unlimited costs $299 annually.
Here’s how to integrate Basecamp and Ninja Forms using Zapier.
5. Jira
Jira is often used for work like web development, IT support, and technical writing, though it can be beneficial for any industry. It’s rooted in agile project management, a framework that takes an iterative approach to projects. This tool allows users to track bugs and deployments as well as tasks, so you can see why it’s so prevalent in technical fields.
Jira offers four plans ranging from Free (up to 10 users) to Enterprise (up to 35,000 users).
