Thread: step up to this simple Web-based project management service

MANAGING and prioritizing tasks is key to meeting business obligations. Can
you improve the way you do this? I had a client who neatly printed each to-do item on a sticky note and slapped it on the bezel of his monitor, moving high-priority tasks higher and low-priority notes to the bottom and then on to his desk. But his system crashed one night when a new office cleaner removed the stickies and put them in a neat pile by his phone.



Several simple Web services can keep you and your team members organized. I like QGISoftware's 5pm. a relatively inexpensive, easy-to use service. It's no Micro-
soft Project, but it lets you create and update tasks and projects either on the Web or via e-mail; its visually appealing timeline charts allow you to quickly check your progress, and it integrates with some calendar services.
