Applause

When faced with managing a project that involved four teams in three different countries I was very worried about how to keep things running smoothly. Originally I managed all action items by e-mail. It did not take long to determine that this was inefficient and prone to problems. As the weeks went by and the ‘Action Item’ e-mail grew longer and more unmanageable, I knew that it was time to look for an alternate solution.

Originally I started using Tasks. While Tasks offered order in an otherwise chaotic environment, it lacked one key element: a Multi-User interface. Enter Tasks Pro™.

When Alex posted that Tasks Pro™ was to be released I was excited to give it a try. First I signed up for an trial account and used it for a few weeks to make sure that it would do what I needed. After the trial period I purchased Tasks Pro™ and have not looked back.

Tasks Pro™ has brought order where there was confusion. I highly recommend Tasks Pro™.
