At www.employeesuggestionbox.com, the employee can give input on any topic, vote on the latest issues,brainstorm and improve project collaboration.
Keeping clients in the loop is another important aspect of project management. The creators of www.myclientspot.com have considered this point. Their simple program allows for the client and the project team to view upcoming schedules, project status, hours worked, file sharing, calendar sharing, and collaboration with sub-contractors all on one site. However, This is a costly endeavor. There are better sites that are free.
Changes within the project are a common occurrence. The creators at www.jumptree.com have captured this theory. With projects stats and accountability sections, nothing goes undetected. It allows for top management of any task ,at any level.
When managing projects successfully, there is a need for organization. With www.project2manage.com you can accomplish this task. There are applications from milestones, messages and even to do lists. This is a great first time user program. I personally find it better for my daily life organizing the family, homework and grocery shopping.
With so many programs available, in all aspects of project management. Explore and investigate until you find the one that is right for you and your business.
I have began working with www.basecamphq.com it provides a wide array of collaboration tools for both internal and external projects. The i-cal( a calender for any organization freak) allows for your schedule to be posted and anyone needing to set up a time to accept a spot. This is an invitation site that allows file sharing, time tracking, to do lists and it is all ran off of the dashboard. One can coordinate schedules with all team members, keep track of data when your out of the office, advise and communicate with contractors and consultants. Create workshops and seminars.
This tool seems to be broad based. It offers programs for Ad agencies, architects, web designers, publishers & authors, study groups, associations, real estate agents, accountants,project management. You get the drift. Anyone you can think of can benefit from basecamp.
There are two options when you set up a project, active or archived. Once a project is achieved you can no longer edit it. Another great feature is the SSL or the Secure Socket Layer. Simply put any data sent from your computer to basecamp is encrypted for your businesses private needs. This site allows 50 GB of space for files, and you can have unlimited clients and users. Total aggregate time is another outstanding feature that allows you to run reports in any area.
They offer a free 30 day trial as long as you subscribe to one of the three packages ranging from $49 - $149. This includes a free real-time chat tool for businesses. It is kind of like IM but in a business setting. So basically you are getting a two for one deal.
