New web application Project2Manage is a free online project management tool. It has quite a few useful features, such as:
- To-Do lists
- Task assignment
- Project Milestones (with dates assigned)
- Messaging
- RSS Feeds
- Project Sharing among multiple users
- Unlimited projects
- Multiple permission levels for users
- Collaborative writing tools
What it does not have is the ‘heavy’ PM tools, such as detailed project plan building with the gantt charts and whatnot. It also doesn’t have other heavy PM tools like budgetting and resource allocation. It also has ads, but they are no more intrusive than a typical blog’s ad service. If you are building a small, informal project, this looks to be a great, free tool. There are definitely times when a lightweight tool is exactly the right tool for the job. This is a handy, free alternative for just such times.
