ProjectSpaces Online Project Management Tool Now Includes Gantt Charts for Enhanced Team Collaboration

Popular online team collaboration tool ProjectSpaces announces the addition of Gantt charts to its suite of project management features.

June 24, 2008 (FPRC) -- Alexandria, VA -- ProjectSpaces announces the release of powerful new workplan and Gantt chart functionality. The new release greatly enhances ProjectSpaces’ capabilities for online project management and team collaboration.

The new functionality allows groups to easily manage complex work plans, track progress and deadlines, and notify team members of activity status.

The application automatically generates simple and intuitive Gantt charts that multiple team members can update in real time simply by editing project details. Real-time, online data ensures the entire team has access to the correct version of the project work plan and schedule at all times, and that teams can avoid the need to install costly and complicated software on every team member’s computer.

“The new online project management functionality enhances ProjectSpaces’ powerful and easy-to-use feature set for online project management, knowledge sharing, and team communication. Document sharing and collaboration is easier than ever. Groups can easily manage multiple versions of documents, comment on documents, and notify designated users of changes,” said Chris von Spiegelfeld, of Project Spaces (http://www.projectspaces.com).

Online, editable ‘shared documents’ can be updated and edited by large numbers of users without the hassle of downloading and uploading files. Announcements and discussions provide powerful alternatives to email to reduce unnecessary traffic and ensure users pay attention to important team news and activities. The team calendar allows a group to manage one unified calendar and subscribe to updates and content is easily exportable into common file formats.

“Customers repeatedly cite the fact that not only does ProjectSpaces do what they need, but it's simple enough for busy people to actually adopt and use, unlike some of the more complicated tools on the market,” said Spiegefleld.

For groups and organizations that are involved in large numbers of similar activities or projects, users can create a template that can be easily cloned and reused over and over again. This allows a group to set up a master workplan template once, rather than reentering similar tasks and dates over and over again.
