Project Management Tools Web 2.0 Style
Whether you own a small company or are working as freelancer, you have to manage your projects, task, clients, invoice etc at least sometime. This is the part I hate the most about working in design and ironically I work as a producer during the day!
That said, project management or any sized task is a really a tuff task if you don’t have the right tools. So after years of searching, I want to share with you some good online project management tools with web2.0 touch.
Free as a bird
Thymer
Thymer is a project management and task planning tool for people who hate project management and task planning. There are a lot of task and project management software out there? So what makes Thymer so special? Three things really: (1) Thymer has a novel one-page-design, (2) Thymer uses Natural Language Processing to figure out what you want, and (3) Thymer has a lightweight, intuitive and powerful interface that makes common tasks as simple as humanly possible. Getting organized has never been this painless.

Not So Free

ZCOPE
Ok so this puppy may not be free but it’s packed full of enough features to make the 19 euro per month price tag for a starter package seem okay, plus you get 30 days free to figure out if it floats your boat.
ZCOPE is a simple and secure web-service for managing projects and tasks, team communication and document sharing. With this platform you can immediately see what the team is doing and what is going on in the project. The easy to use drag-&-drop interface allows you to plan, control and report your tasks quickly.

Another great online project management tool that is SantexQ. It focuses on time and task management, so if it’s great if you need a simple and straight forward solution. It’s definitely one of the most affordable ones out there too – $10 a month for all the features, like a punch clock and file uploads!
Thanks for this Mark – there are so many out there to choose from so it’s great to have comments. http://www.SantexQ.com looks good. I like how it has timesheet management and also invoicing built in. Nice work.
