Project Management 2.0

Friday afternoon last week, our crack interactive p.m. (Megan Potter) and I took a working lunch to discuss some of our floating ideas about interactive project management. We'd recently kicked the tires on a few well known platforms such as Basecamp by 37 Signals. In the end it seems that although most products out there have the essential elements we require such as:

• to-do lists
• schedules
• client and project classification
  
• prioritizing
  
• collaboration

In the end we just felt like the online systems were too closely represented another companies work flow and style. We consider ours unique enough in places that make their software chafe a little on us.

In the end we decided to create a medium-elaborate system of our own using Google Apps, Blogger, Twitter, and some duct tape. Who knows, maybe after this we'll end up making our own flavor of an online interactive p.m. system and resell it as a service. I doubt it thought.
