Good online project management software will allow users to view detailed reports of the status of a project. This is exactly what OnePlace offers.
OnePlace allows users to view reports for any workplace or project, and be able to visually see the status of that project. Now, project managers will be able to see at a glance how many tasks are completed, how much time has been spent and which team member has been working the most.

In online project management, the ability to track time spent on tasks is almost as important as the ability to manage tasks in the first place. Knowing how long it takes to complete a task or a project aids in project planning and ultimately the team’s success of that project.
For small business project management, effective time tracking can mean the difference between a well-oil machine and an over-worked stressed out team. You want to make sure you are planning appropriately for the capacity of your team, as well as giving yourself enough room to complete quality work in a timely manner.

A main component of our small business organization solution is online project management. We are all very organized people, and like to help others stay organized as well.
Because of Post-It Notes, calendar updates and reminders on your cell phone, there are just as many ways to manage tasks as there are tasks to complete. And while we love it when stuff gets done, we want to make sure the people in your business are remembering what to do, and getting the right things done.
Here are 5 ways to manage tasks more effectively to ensure greater efficiency:

I recently came across an article published in October 2009 from Web Worker Daily entitled The Pomodoro Technique: A GTD Alternative?” After reading the article, I found myself relating to the issues that the Pomodoro Technique claims to alleviate.
If you’re not familiar with it, the Pomodoro Technique is a way to manage time and projects to get the most accomplished. It targets those people who are easily distracted by outside factors when trying to get work done, and those who have anxiety over looming deadlines and the “ticking clock.”

Hello,
We upgraded OnePlace on 2/15/09 at 9:00pm CST.
We are excited to announce the OnePlace Dashboard. This is a desktop client that allows you to use Team Pulse without having to open up your browser. It has a very useful notification feature that informs you of a new Pulses via a popup notification window. You may have already seen the advertisement for it in Team Central. You can read more about it in the online Help.
One other change that we want to make you aware of is how we updated Time Tracking for Tasks. When you are tracking time for a task and set the status to In Progress, OnePlace will automatically start a timer. Then when you complete the task you will be prompted to apply the elapsed time to the task. There's no need to manually keep track of time for tasks. You can read more about it in the online Help.
Check out the rest of the enhancements and bug fixes in the Recent changes section of the online Help.

2008 was a very busy year at Riverock Technologies. Our sole mission during this entire year was to prepare for successfully launching OnePlace into the market. Every day was spent focusing on this goal, which we achieved back in September when we released OnePlace for general use, and officially opened the proverbial doors for business.
So, before we close the books on 2008 and turn our attention towards the year to come, we thought it would be fun to take one last look in the rear view mirror to see what happened to OnePlace during this past year.

Scheduling your work is something that seems so obvious to me now that I am surprised that every productivity application does not do this. The concept is so simple that it is often overlooked. This feature is crucial in helping me manage the chaos in my entire life.
Most people already use a calendar to schedule all their appointments. Some even go so far as to schedule blocks of time for getting their own work done. However, I have yet to meet anyone (other than other OnePlace users of course) who actually plans "when" they are going to do each task on their list. There are countless side effects of not scheduling your work. Here are just a few:
