Part 1 of Distributed Project Management

With the start of our new company looming, we have projects to plan! So I have been checking out project management tools that allow me to set up projects and manage them online. There were two tools that I have taken a look at, both using Firefox:

1. Whodo.es which I found to be unusable in Firefox. I could not full in all information to milestones or assign tasks to the milestone. I did get a response to my feedback on this issue within a day. But I thought I might have had restricted functionality because I was using the Free version. I suspect that it is because I use Firefox. The Ajax Magazine review of the the product was very positive, but I won’t be using this tool.
2. Zoho Project Manager is the tool we have chosen for our company’s project management needs. I have found the tool easy to use, easy to add users to, easy to create meetings. The free version does have limitations, I can only create one project. However after this first project, I am sure we will be purchasing a version of the Zoho tool… once we have a little money in the register.
