Project management systems is a pretty crowded space - with many large multinational companies offering a range of products, many of which we have used. Many of these products offer sophisticated tools for the overlapping needs of
- Project Planning
- Task Management
- Resource Management:
- Time Tracking:
- Budgeting and Cost Management
We have tried many of these but have never found a tool that suited our needs. In our case, we look after several websites and apps and perform a mix or regular maintenance and ad-hoc updates. We wanted a quick and easy tool to
- Tracking work requests and task creation; and
- Generate invoices, or at least exportable fee reports
A key philosophy behind the tool is it must be quick to use with the least amount of barriers for busy (and occasionally stressed) time-poor people: The least amount of required fields as possible, intelligent sorting and predictable defaults.
