  • It is obviously true that for each project manager take care of a lot of things like managing the documents, collaboration as well as communicating with the team, conducting frequent meetings with the team so as to ensure that every one is updated regarding any recent changes made in the action plan. To manage all of those I am using some tremendous tools. Which are available in www.teamplifier.com

  • Basecamp est clairement décrite comme la référence des outils de gestion de projet. Pour preuve, Collabtive propose un "basecamp importer" et la fonctionnalité est demandée dans les forums consacrés autres solutions.
