Free Friday: Web-based Project Management Tools

Posted on April 25, 2008 by Matthew Burnett

That's right, it's Free Friday, a new technola feature that highlights free - as in free beer - tech tools and resources. This week, a few free web-based project management tools to help keep those milestones in check:

  • Project2Manage - A free, web-based project management solution that offers multiple levels of permissions for different clients & users, unlimited projects and the ability to post messages, manage tasks, develop to-do lists and create milestones.
  • Google Sites - Google Sites is another great free project management option, particularly given its seamless integration with other Google apps, like Google Calendar and Google Docs. Here's an example (from Google) of a project management site using Google Sites.
  • CentralDesktop - While only a limited version of CentralDesktop is free, this may be a good choice if you want to get your feet wet with a web-based project management solution with a lot of bells and whistles. The free version is limited to 2 workspaces, 5 users per workspace and 25MB of total storage space.
  • ZOHO Projects - Like CentralDesktop, only a limited version of ZOHO Projects is free. Compared to CentralDesktop, you get more storage (100MB) and more users (unlimited), but less projects (only one). -M

Thanks for the links. I just signed up for Project2Manage, and am loving it. I'm a web developer whose client base has grown too fast and I'm completely overwhelmed, and find myself spending time trying to organize my tasks that should be spent doing the work.

You can create multiple logins for yourself (and others with you), your clients, and others (for me this means sub-contractors).

You can grant them access to specific projects.

You can create projects, milestones within projects, todo lists within a project or within a milestone, and collaborate by leaving comments within a project or a milestone.

Each item on a todo list can be assigned to a specific user.

Thanks for the post!

I would like to know if anyone is using Project2Manage to track staff time as it relates to Federal/State Grants. Each funder wants to know what you are doing for them. It's very difficult to service clients and track the time you spend on phone calls, desk work, face to face, mailings, etc. It is increasingly more difficult due to the number of folks that need to be seen.

If there is anyone familiar with this web based software and would recommend, please e-mail me. jgriggs@wcnls.org

Thank you
