Keeping track of all the day-to-day business of a project is as easy as getting an online project management application. With Projecturf you can manage all of your projects through this internet application through any computer. This application keeps things simple as you monitor team members' progress as well as the individual tasks everyone has been assigned.

This online project management software takes advantage of interface customization options. Each project can be customized so that depending on your role, you can quickly get to the information you need. There are discussion forums for each project where the team can talk about the concerns or successes as they happen. If you want to stay up to date with what is happening with the project, you can set up emails so that as soon as anyone makes a change you will know.

Another concern with projects is managing the resources. With Projecturf you can manage all of your resources – employees, materials, vehicles and so on – so that you can make sure to utilize them in the best possible way. With all of your team members, you can keep track of all of their email addresses and email them when you make a change. From there Projecturf will automatically add the new resource to your project. Everyone on the team can upload documents to the project and you can track when they were added, who added them and even the types of documents added.

Projecturf’s most unique feature is its design section. Created specifically for designers, this area of the project management software lets you upload and display logos, graphics, layouts and designs for the development and completion of your projects. We felt this was an interesting feature simply due to the fact that we had not seen this on any other product reviewed. Calendars, milestones and tasks are all accessible by clicking the corresponding icon, as is updating them to keep your projects current. Once updated, milestones and tasks fit under two tabs, “Upcoming” and “Completed.”

Another one of Projecturf’s best features is the streamlined interface. Large icons line the top of the screen, presenting you with the navigation, updating and resource links you need to keep your project current. When you first enter your project interface, the dashboard will display such items as project briefs, update announcements and the tasks to be completed that day. Each of these items is quite important, though the software makes your burden light by immediately sending you alerts regarding your project. We found project navigation to be quite uncomplicated. Each interface icon leads to a corresponding area, which is divided into two or three tabs for different needs.

The main downfall of this product is the absence of features. Despite an intuitive interface, it does not make up for the tools that were left out. The Gantt chart isn’t interactive, which equates to even more work on your part in editing and maintaining project tasks. In addition to this, Projecturf does not offer tracking on budgeting, financials or workloads. Each of these makes up a critical portion of effective project management, which means their absence is all the more apparent.

An online tutorial gives you a step-by-step overview of the online project management software in its entirety. The software also includes FAQs, email support, forums and blogs as referencing tools to help you better understand not only basic functions of the product, but also best practices.

Summary:

Projecturf is a fantastic project management tool for graphic designers because logos and designs can easily be displayed, interchanged and tracked. The interface makes this product an easy one to learn, especially among non-technical users. However, the absence of major features makes this product suffer greatly in keeping up with competing products.
