Tell you what I’m after: a brilliant online solution like this, but that DOESN’T require everyone else in the team to use it in order to work.

I am usually the only one in my team who wants to use this kind of technology – the rest of my colleagues prefer to continue to use emails/spreadsheets. If I could manage and complete a project successfully using web tools, then they are more likely to sign up to the new way of working.

They will not come across immediately to something that isn’t tested by someone (me) first. And I cannot test it without them!

I've stressed here on many posts about the simplicity of apps. Planzone seems simple but i dont see great analytics about projects such as milestones completed and productivity of individuals etc. The tool i use is called Deskaway and i would recommend it to most people. The free account allows you to manage 3 projects with a maximum of 3 people i think. The pro account is $25 a month so a good bargain i would say...

Publishing a template means that you make it available to the whole Planzone community. However, you are also able to only “enable” it, and your template can then be used and read exclusively by the members of your workspace.
When you publish a template, you can publish it with or without documents (depending on the nature of these documents, you can leave in those that can be “public”, while you delete the rest).

By publishing your templates without the data, do you mean for all Planzone subscribers or just to people in the same company?

Hi Pamela,
thank you for this nice article.
About differences with BaseCamp, the most important for me is that Planzone is a mutli-project Management service. Thanks to a personal dashboard, you can collaborate in many projects and see quickly everything concerning you. So you can see easily all the most important informations.

Hi Christopher (thisismyurl). I have limited experience with Basecamp. It’s one of the ones I looked at briefly earlier this year and I decided against it because the free plan was too limited. Planzone’s free plan offers much more. I also think their project and resource management features might be more developed than those of Basecamp (but someone very familiar with Basecamp should make that call). It’s also available in all those languages!

There are different kinds of tools for groups. Google groups is more for general group management and communication. Tools like Planzone and BaseCamp are more in the realm of collaboration and project mgmt. There’s also tools just for event mgmt. The list goes on.

If you’re looking for something like Google Groups, you should give Convos a try:
