4 Project Management Tips Straight From Our Customers
Time Tracking Is Vital To Productivity and Project Management
Jonathan Schroeder, a developer by trade, fell in love with Teambox (his words) due to the ease in setting up team collaboration. Yet, he thought the time tracking tool didn’t fit his needs just right.
And because Teambox loves open source, we make it possible to add your own apps.
Jonathan jumped on the opportunity and created a free chrome extension to start and stop time tracking in Teambox. A tool that worked great for his team.
What we know is that Time Tracking helps us stay on top of where we are spending our time.
Are you focusing your time on the right projects? This will be vital to your productivity efforts this year. So, start tracking your time and you will begin to focus on the things that matter most.
Geographic Barriers Are No Longer a Limitation
Our friends at Pyrrhic Studios shared with us how cross country project management can be handled with ease. Despite not being able to meet physically in the same location, Pyrrhic shared that “real time communication tools” are the greatest asset to effective online collaboration. Their artist can draw a rough draft sketch, upload it to Teambox, the rest of the team receives an alert, opens up Teambox and within minutes, a decision can be made.
Teambox also has a team half-way across the world. And companies like Pyrrhic have taught us some great tips on how we can improve our day-to-day operations no matter the time zone.

Break Down Tasks into Small Bites
Did you know we actually have a voting forum? We set this up so that our users can share ideas and vote on ideas that would help them the most.
And one of the ideas that came from this forum was for us to incorporate subtasks. We listened and learned. Now we are working on incorporating the ability to create tasks inside other ones and set priorities.
Research shows, we work better when tasks are smaller and more specific.
We just love it when great minds come together and collaborate.
