Teamwork Project Manager

Another review that makes us smile - Overmortal

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:13:00 GMT

It really bringtens up my day when we receive your feedback and encouragement so I was delighted when Dan send me the link to another TeamworkPM review that he had just found. It seems the guys at Overmortal are impressed. :D "Basecamp is a fantastic project management solution that is well-deserved of the attention it gets, but at the end of the day, we use Teamwork PM in our company." Their full review is available here: http://www.overmortal.com/blog/post/20-teamwork-pm-for-project-management.....

Adding multiple files to a project

Sam Kidd — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:56:00 GMT

For all of you who are new to TeamworkPM (TWPM) I want to over the next few weeks to share some top tips on using TWPM and also to show off some of the features that we have. Today I’m going to show you one of our most powerful and useful features that we have which is the multiple files uploader.  Once in the file section within a project you can upload as many files as you want in one go into the project that you are working on. This is a very fast an easy way to upload files into a project and it’s something that is often missing from other online Project management s.....

How to create Task Templates

Sam Kidd — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:44:00 GMT

I thought I would write this quick blog post on the subject of “task templates” as we have gotten a lot of feedback from you all asking where and how do we setup task Templates. Because of all this feedback we are looking at another way to access these as well as an easier way to find/create them, but in the mean time I wanted to write this quick tutorial to help you all out with task templates. Step 1: Go to the setting tab at the top right on the dashboard view Step 2: In the settings page you will see the Task List Templates section, click on the blue Edit button to go th.....

New email layout for uploaded files.

Sam Kidd — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:00:00 GMT

We use TeamworkPM everyday in work ourselves and we often find thing that start to annoy us with our own product, and because we have no one else to complain to apart from ourselves I guess we had better do something about it.  One area that we feel has been letting us down and getting under our skin is the email messages which relate to files when they are uploaded into a project.  Fiona, in the office here, will usually upload a new design and say, “this is my first draft, what do you think of it” So I get an email with the message and a link to the project it&rsquo.....

New servers for TeamworkPM

Sam Kidd — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:23:00 GMT

Some of you may have noticed a few small moments over the past few weeks where TeamworkPM has been responding a bit slower than normal, this has been due to our growing number of users putting extra strain on our current servers. This has been both a good and bad thing for us. The good side is we have learned a lot about optimising TeamworkPM. The bad side to this increase in users is, there is only so much optimising one can do, so to combat this we are now weeks away from moving TeamworkPM over to our new cluster of high-performance servers. These servers will provide all the power and perf.....

Application Server Upgrade

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:24:00 GMT

Just a quick note to let you know that over the last weekend, we stayed up very late to find the best possible window to update the underlying application server. This is something more akin changing the engine in your car than just an oil change. At 3am on Saturday night, when the worldwide network traffic was at it lowest ebb, we put up a message to say that we were going to be down for a little while and started to feverishly update our servers. After an amazingly short downtime of only 30 minutes, Teamwork was back up and running with the new engine, ahem, new application server r.....

Updates in May

Sam Kidd — Mon, 25 May 2009 11:18:00 GMT

Howdy people! I have just been looking at our blog and I see that we have really been neglecting it over the last month. (sorry about that) It's been due to us been up the walls here updating TeamworkPM as well as working away on some nice new features that you guys have been requesting from us. It's pretty much been just heads down here for the last month. There has been a lot of updates to the software over the last month and I just wanted to make sure that you were all aware of our roadmap page listing the recent updates at the bottom of the page as we release them to the live ve.....

Creation of resources is simply, easy and fast! The form to create a .....

Update : Time Section : Permission changes

Daniel Mackey — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:20:00 GMT

The time tracking feature is one of our most popular features of Teamwork Project Manager and we get alot of feedback and requests on improving the functionality. Today we have changed the permission levels relating to this section. Before today, anybody that had Can Log Time permission could edit and delete any entry in the Time section. We have changed this to the following: Administrators can delete / edit all time entries Project Administrators can delete / edit all time entries Everybody else with permission to Log Time can only delete / edit their own time en.....

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:27:00 GMT

More storage space for our personal plan.

Sam Kidd — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 03:30:00 GMT

Who ever says size doesn't matter doesn't know what they are talking about!  That's why we have increased the amount of storage space you now have with our personal plan. This came about the other day while the guys were taking a break from working on the API.  We were all just sitting round the office having a chat when the chat turned into a bit of a competition to see who could come up with the quickest and easiest update to Teamwork  that our customers would 'actually' want. We all threw out loads of good ideas and a few real crap ones .....

New features round-up

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 07:05:00 GMT

Wow, we have been busy! Lot's of fixes and improvements have been added. Dynamic roadmap page added to website You can stay on top of the our progress through our pretty powerful Roadmap page which gets updated automatically from our own Teamwork installation and also from our subversion logs so that as we add features to the list and work daily on Teamwork, you can see the changes. Company contact details now listed on People page I was a bit shocked when I realised that we weren't listing the company contact details when you picked a company on the people page. How did we mis.....

Preview : Graphical view of all projects on Gantt chart

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 04:10:00 GMT

Over the last 2 weeks we have received 56 requests for a Gantt chart view of projects or a graphical way of seeing at a glance how your projects are shaping up. We have always been cautious of adding Gantt charts but we feel the time has come to introduce a basic graphical gantt chart view of your projects' progress. One of the hardest part of scheduling projects is finding a free time slot. To accomodate this new graphical view, 2 new fields have been added to projects Project Start Date Project End Date The fields are of course optional but if they are used, you can view.....

300%+ Speed Increase!

Peter Coppinger — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 07:30:00 GMT

You'll be delighted to hear that we have just rolled an update out to the servers and Teamwork Project Manager is now over 300% faster! How did we manage this? Well basically we save your browser from repeatedly checking for and downloading new files. Now when you click on a page that you have visited before, the only thing that will load is the page HTML ie. just your data. All the images and code will be loaded already. Check out how much faster the Project Overview page loads now: That's right, it's over 300% faster. It used to take 1.74 seconds (On a 2meg DSL line) and now .....

How to enter tasks quickly

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:01:00 GMT

Here is a quick tip for you that nobody knows about and has been added for quite some time. When you are adding several tasks, and you are about to click the "Add This Task" button so you can start entering the next task, a handy shortcut we added is to just press control-enter on your keyboard. Check out this video.......

Teamwork gets OpenID

Peter Coppinger — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:14:00 GMT

At about 3pm today I looked at our own installation of Teamwork and an overdue milestone "OpenID integration for TeamworkPM" was glaring at me in red pixels. I'm juggling a lot of important work at the moment but I was in the mood for getting down and dirty with something interesting. I just felt like getting stuck into a new feature... something important... something on the roadmap... and this was just the ticket. I shut the door to my office, took the phone off the hook, ordered chinese and started into the code. I honestly thought it would only take me 3 hours. (when will .....

Irish Blog Awards

Sam Kidd — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:53:00 GMT

It's been a good year so far in the TeamworkPM offices so we thought we deserved a night out , so what better way to do this than by sponsoring an award at the Irish 2009 Blog Awards. TeamworkPM sponsored the Best Newcomer award on the night. The Irish Blog awards were set up a few years ago to pay tribute to Irish blogger and to recognise the hard work that goes into entertaining and informing us all who read blogs while sitting at work with a coffee in the morning or while chilling at home when there is nothing on TV now thanks to the iPhone on "the jacks".....

Feature Update : Generate Time Report Per Task List

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 06:46:00 GMT

One of the items most requested from users is the ability to report on all time logged against a particular task list. While we are working on a dedicated Reports tab which will give us the flexibility to offer better and more varied reports, we have added the Task List Time function today. To access, click the List Options tool on the task list you would like to report on and click Time Report. This will display a new popup dialog allowing you to change the time frame for the report, view the amount of Billable and overall time and gives you too options to export to either CSV or Excel......

Important : iCal Feed Updates

Daniel Mackey — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:29:00 GMT

We have updated the iCal feeds on the Calendar and added the following: Ability to subscribe to My Calendar which only shows events and items specific to you Ability to subscribe to Everyones Calendar which shows all company wide items including your own items. Items that show in the feed include: Events Milestones Tasks This update requires a re-import of the calendar address. Information on how to do this is available here : index.cfm/page/tutorials We tried to minimise the disruption to existing iCal feeds but unfortunately there was no way around adding.....

Calendar & iCal Updates - View Tasks in Calendar

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:01:00 GMT

One of the most popular feature requests from people is to include Tasks in the Calendar and iCal feed. Today we rolled out an update that allows people to quickly see tasks due on particular days from the Calender View. You can quickly see the number of tasks per day with late tasks highlighted in red. Clicking on the Tasks will bring you to a new page listing all tasks for that particular day.

Adding iCal Calendars to Outlook 2007

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 12:12:00 GMT

Step 1 Open Outlook 2007 Click on Calendar from the Outlook Toolbar on the left of the screen Step 2 Click Tools from the main menu Click on Account Settings... menu option Step 3 A dialog window will pop-up a.....

New Feature: File View Thumbnails

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:37:00 GMT

At Digital Crew, we eat our own dogfood as they say in the software business; this means we use our own software on a daily basis and it helps us spot the flaws and identify ways to make the product continually better. Today I needed to find a particular image on the files page of a project and it was difficult to do so without thumbnails. This spurred me into action and an hour later, we rolled out an update that allows you to see previews of all your image files. There's been a lot of subtle updates lately that we haven't been blogging about. For example, on the settings page, you'd fin.....

Custom Domains now support full unique domains (eg. www.myprojects.com)

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:56:00 GMT

The custom site address feature we advertised on this blog and has really taken off for us with lots of customers now using their own custom sub-domain names for TeamworkPM while still hosting their projects on our servers. We think it's really nice for our customers to really make Teamwork their own by using their own domain name. As far as we know, no other similar product such as BaseCamp or GoPlan offers this ability to their customers. 2 days ago a customer in Texas had actually registered a completely new domain for use with his teamwork account (something like www.companyNameProje.....

Company Calendar iCal Feed

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:49:00 GMT

We have just released an update that allows you to subscribe to your company calendar from your favourite calendar application such as Outlook, Google Calendar, iCalendar, Sunbird etc When you view your calendar you will see a link Calendar iCal Feed in the calendar sidebar which will allow you to subscribe to events you or your co-workers add.

Custom Site Addresses

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 07:35:00 GMT

By popular request, we have now added the ability for you to change the URL at which you access your TeamworkPM site to another web address. What does that mean? Well, if your site address was something like http://mycompany.teamworkpm.net/, you can now change it to something like http://projects.mycompany.com or http://pm.mycompany.com etc.. Or even a full new domain name such as www.mycompanysprojects.com. That's cool, I'd like to use http://pm.mycompany.net/ - how do I set it up? It's easy... Point the domain you want to use to 82.195.157.120 (ask somebody technical to set th.....

New Feature: The "Today" Tab

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:22:00 GMT

Today we added a "Today" tab to the Dashboard and Project Overview pages. Many of you requested this feature and it just goes to show that we really do listen to your requests. This is a fantastic way to quickly see exactly what tasks you need to be working on today across all your projects or for a specific project. More great UI features coming soon. Keep the feedback rolling in! Aside: We are knee deep in development of an API for TeamworkPM so stay tuned........

New Update : See tasks due today from the dashboard

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 05:09:00 GMT

Based on the sheer amount of feedback. most people want to see exactly what needs to be done today and systematically work their way through the tasks. Today we rolled out a new update that shows a list of all tasks grouped by project that need to be complete "Today".  This can be accessed from the Dashboard and has a yellow notification badge. We will be implementing this in the Project Overview section of individual projects also......

More storage space for TeamworkPM users.

Sam Kidd — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:40:00 GMT

Thanks to the growing demand from some of our customers who have been requesting more storage space within their current plans, and the fact that we have just purchased some spanking new servers, we now have more storage space to go round for everyone. So whats changed in the plans, well to start off we have increased our Business 1 plan from 500MB to 4GB. We have  increased the Business 2 plan as well, up from 5GB up to 10GB and we have also increased our Corporate plan from 10GB up to 25GB. All this new space should take the pressure off having to watch the files .....

New Feature : Date Entry Format Options

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 04:25:00 GMT

One of the most frequent requests from users is the ability to enter a date in a format other than dd/mm/yyyy Last night we rolled out an update to allow users to set the format they wish to use for date entry through-out the application. You can choose: dd/mm/yyyy mm/dd/yyyy Existing users can edit this from their My Account page. This option can be set while editing and adding users to your installation. The default remains dd/mm/yyyy but a future update may tie the default to the installation timezone. As always, we love hearing your feedback to drop us a line!.....

Support for over 20 languages - Parlez vous francais?

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:42:00 GMT

TeamworkPM in Arabic TeamworkPM in German Many companies who use TeamworkPM work Internationally with suppliers and clients all over the world or are themselves based in non-English speaking parts of the world. TeamworkPM allows each user to choose the language for the interface that suits them the best. Over the weekend, we rolled out support for an additional 17 languages to bring the number of supported languages to 22. The full list of supported languages in TeamworkPM now is: Arabic Bulgarian Chinese Croation Czech Danish Dut.....

Speed Improvements

Peter Coppinger — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:10:00 GMT

Last week, we quitely rolled out some improvements to the speed of Teamwork Project Manager. The speed that the application loads should now be noticably faster for the following reasons: We now load 2 medium sized files instead of 20 or so assorted stylesheet and javascript files. We compact the code and remove all whitespace from the files to make the download as small as possible. We use something called e-tags to instruct your browser not to download a file again if it has it already. We are working on some other measures to make TeamworkPM even faster... stay tuned......

Everyone's Calendar

Daniel Mackey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:13:00 GMT

The calendar is working out great for a whole load of people but another common request is to have an Everybody's Calendar option in the calendar chooser drop down. Todays enhancement to the calendar allows you to view a full calendar of all peoples scheduled events on the same page. No longer do you have to choose their specific calendar to see what they are up to. We also added in the persons name next to the event to make it easier to see who scheduled what. Its a small change with a big benefit to usability!

Calendar Updates : Edit Event In Place

Daniel Mackey — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 09:15:00 GMT

Finally the big permission architecture change is in place and working well, so its back to fine tuning various aspects of the existing features. One of the areas that alot of people requested changes is the calendar view and we couldnt agree more. We have just rolled out a small but important change in how you edit events. Before you had to select the day and edit the events from the days events list on the left hand side. This was unintuitive and cumbersome so its been enhanced. Now, all you have to do is click the event in the calendar day and a lightbox popup event editor is displayed......

Major Update: New Permissions Architecture

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:47:00 GMT

Hello All - You may have wondered why we were so quiet - the truth is we've been locked in a basement working night and day on a new permission architecture for Teamwork Project Manager - over 1 month and a half in the making, this update will provide you with better tools and options for managing which areas of you project your staff and clients can access. Without further ado - here is a screenshot of the new Project Permissions page: As always, your own company is listed at the top. Other companies, who have at least one member who has access to this project listed are undernea.....

Calendar & People Page Overhaul

Peter Coppinger — Sat, 10 May 2008 08:37:00 GMT

Another day down at Digital Crew, and today we can go home happy as we have got a whole list of improvements implemented and rolled out to the servers. Improved Calendar The calendar is now much much much much prettier. We redid the colors and layout of the entire month view, milestones and events to make it much prettier. See the screenshot. Event alerts All calendar events now have events alerts. We have both mobile phone text alerts and email alerts working (but at the moment only the email alerts are available to the public). These alerts are a fantastic way of making sure .....

Local time now displaying correctly

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 05 May 2008 08:07:00 GMT

We were getting reports from Soeul, Korea, that the displayed time was one hour ahead of what it should be. It seems our logic for calculating the local time didn't play well with Daylight Savings times (DST). Hours of difficult code later and this issue is now fixed. The time should now display correctly for every timezone regardless of DST. Thanks to Min Jeong for reporting the problem to us.

The small things are important!

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 03 May 2008 06:11:00 GMT

We got a great suggestion regarding the size of the new message content area from one of our new users last night and as its the Bank Holiday weekend over here, I said I would add it to Teamwork Project Manager today. Choosing text area dimensions is a juggling act; make them too small and the user has to scroll constantly to establish context and make revisions; make them too big and you risk wasting valuable screen real-estate! To enable the best of both worlds, I have implemented a feature that grows and shrinks the message writing area depending on the length of your message p.....

Updates : Comment replies via email

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:43:00 GMT

The new comment system is working out brilliantly here for us and makes the team collaborate ideas more efficiently. The one thing I get finding myself doing was replying to the notification emails to reply to the comment....I was so used to the reply by email functionality of project messages! Tonight, I added the ability to reply to comments via emails too. Any email notifications for comments placed on Tasks, Files or Notebooks can now be replied to and your new comment added to Teamwork Project Manager! Its the small things that count!.....

New Feature : Comments, comments, everywhere!

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:22:00 GMT

One of the most requested feature from customers and our own staff is the ability to add a comment to an item. While the messages serve as a good discussion ground, there are times where you want to add a comment on a notebook, task or file. This weekend we implmented a generic commenting system on the following: Tasks Notebooks Files We are debating on whether there is merit in being able to comment on milestones. The comments are fast to add and even faster to view. Notifications can be sent via email and also show up on the Dashboard and Project Overview page. The .....

New Feature : Task List Templates

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:58:00 GMT

One item that has been on our roadmap for quite some time and a feature lots of people have asked us for is the ability to create Task List Templates. Task List Templates are groups of tasks that can used to create new task lists across all your projects. As you projects grow in number, you will find yourself creating the same tasks over and over again. To make this experience better, you can now create the templates from the Settings page. One you have a number of templates defined, a new option to use this template is available when you create a task list. At this point, you c.....

New Feature : Quick Add Multiple Tasks

Daniel Mackey — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 02:41:00 GMT

Adding tasks to Teamwork Project Manager is fast and easy but there are times where I find myself adding multiple tasks and wished it was easier. Most of the time, the task particulars are the same with the actual task being different. There are loads of ideas flying around in here on how we can extend the functionality of the tasks section such as: Import from Ms Project, CSV etc Task Templates Copy tasks from an existing project etc While all these items are on the road map, I wanted something quick and dirty so last night I took the time to allow you add tasks .....

New Feature : Choose which items show on your Late and Upcoming Notifications

Daniel Mackey — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 02:41:00 GMT

While it is nice to see absolutely everything thats going on across your organisations projects, sometimes the shear amount of data is over whelming. At any given time, the most important items that I need information on are items assigned to me. To help make Teamwork Project Manager more flexible, easier to use and more efficient, we have added a new feature that allows you to set if you want to see late and upcoming items from everyone or just you. Its as simple as clicking a link to change the view and is persistant across sessions. This Settings Bar is available on the following pages.....

New Feature : Send Task Reminder Email

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:44:00 GMT

While looking through the late tasks on one particular project, I found myself wishing I could nudge or alert one of my colleagues that they had a late task that really should be complete or I felt they were neglecting. Today (as the St. Patricks Day Parade passes by my office window) I added a new option on the task tool bar called Alert. The Alert option is only available on tasks that are assigned to somebody and sends a friendly reminder email to the person assigned the task. To use this option, simply click on a task and choose Alert from the task toolbar that loads in......

What needs to be done next? All upcoming tasks due in the next 7 days

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:04:00 GMT

Using Teamwork Project Manager every day to manage over 100 projects gives me a good idea of what is required to make somebody more productive. One of the questions I find myself asking everytime I log in is "What do I need to do next?" To answer this question automatically, I have added a new feature and tab on the Dashboard called Upcoming Tasks. This works in the same way as Late Tasks and is signified by the blue badge notification icon. This will bring you to the Upcoming tasks due in the next 7 days screen which allows you to work with the tasks directly. One of the great .....

New Feature - All Late Tasks Over All Projects

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:35:00 GMT

One of the primary functions of Teamwork Project Manager is the ability to set tasks for a project. We recently added the Task Due Date option and worked hard at integrating this new functionality across the software. Sometimes though you may not set a date on an individual task but instead tie the task list to a milestone which has a due date. What happens when this date has passed and the milestone is late? You miss some tasks. As its St Patricks Weekend (Irelands most famous holiday) , I figured I'd get some solid work done on Teamwork Project Manager and add a feature I have wanted .....

Bug Fix : Reply by email not working for some emails

Daniel Mackey — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:25:00 GMT

First off, I must apologise to some people for the amount of emails and comments from messages that may have come flooding in. We had a slight issue with the reply to message by email functionality which caused a bit of a clog up of emails that should have been parsed and attached to your messages. This issue was specific to only a few installations and is fully resolved now. Again, I apologise for the inconvenience, the only good thing is that no message has been lost but the dates may be out of sync with the time they were really sent.

March 2008 Roadmap

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:08:00 GMT

We are rolling out improvements and updates almost daily . Much of the work is under-the-hood stuff that goes unseen. We recently added an automatic database update facility that will ensure database updates are rolled out easily (allowing us to provide improvements that much faster). More work involves making critical interface improvements - for example, we had noticed that Internet Explorer got a little slow when there were loads of files on a project so last night we rolled out an update that allows the files pages to render more quickly. And Dan added the option to mark milestones a.....

New Feature: Daily Late Milestones and Tasks Email

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:10:00 GMT

Since we added the feature to set dates on tasks, we are steadily integrating the addition with many areas of the application. While we have lots of notifications through email and RSS, there was one major report I really wanted to help fine tune my day : Daily Late Items Report Basically, the Daily Late Items Report is an email sent at 4am GMT to every user that has outstanding Milestones or Tasks. Like the All Tasks PDF Report, the data is nicely grouped by Project with any late milestones showing first and then all the tasks grouped under the task lists. This report has one more spe.....

Update : Private Notebook Pages and Private Milestones

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:57:00 GMT

I have been wanting to implement this for ages and while we are implementing the ability to mark any object as private, I said I would start with Notebooks and then move on to Milestones. It makes sense that we allow not only messages and files to be private (accessible to members of your company only) but also Notebooks, Milestones and Tasks. You can now edit a Notebook or Milestone and set it as Private. The Private Tasks section will be here in a few days. Another quick update while I was working on the Notebooks section is the ability to rename notebook pages. A bit too long overdue :-.....

Update : All Tasks, Tasks and PDF Report

Daniel Mackey — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:55:00 GMT

Thank you to everyone for their very valuable feedback and suggestions. We have taken quite a bit of this on board and worked on introducing a few of them this week. The main area to get a much needed addition/update was the All Items - All Tasks page. Since we introduced Task Due Dates we have been slowly integrating this feature with other areas of Teamwork Project Manager. One of the areas crying out for this data was the All Tasks page. We have now a specific Report for all tasks with the following features: Ability to view all tasks for Everyone or per user Shows a more co.....

HTML Notebooks released

Daniel Mackey — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:48:00 GMT

Another important feature has been rolled out this week after many requests - HTML Notebooks. The Project Notebooks has helped us a huge amount and is a great place to: Collaborate on blog posts Write content pages for websites Press Releases Database schema mapping Proposals Internal company documents Important emails etc The problem with the initial version is we relied on Textile for the formatting. Textile is a markup language enabling rich text style formatting without using HTML. Textile is also not too intuitive and has a learning cu.....

TechFires reviews Teamwork Project Manager

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:45:00 GMT

TechFires.com reviewed Teamwork Project manager today and we are delighted with the review! Thanks guys. I’ve recently been evaluating Teamwork Project Manager as a means to keep my projects and teams on task and on schedule. Featuring a nice clean interface, efficient time and task tracking (including due dates on individual tasks), and really nice collaboration options, I’m really impressed by all of the available features. Support has been prompt and excellent, updates are frequent, and communication from the developers via their blog is outstanding. The online project .....

New Feature: Overall Search & Project Search

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:15:00 GMT

Today we implemented another hotly requested feature, the quick search. In the header you will now see a link "SEARCH". When you click this link, the quick search interface will display. Enter your search term and press return and all sections in the current project, or all your projects (if on dashboard) will be searched for a match. The results should display almost instantly. We hope you find this useful!.....

New Feature: Dates on Tasks

Peter Coppinger — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:23:00 GMT

Again, we've listened to your feedback and we committed ourselves to getting one of the most requested features implemented for you. Today we put live changes that allow you to specify the Due Date on individual tasks! Before we uploaded this change, the only way a date could be associated with a task was if that task was related to a milestone. But that was very limiting. Now, when you add or edit any task you have the ability to optionally set the due date for that task. Date Picker Some of our competitors expect you to painfully type in dates; however we know how busy you are.....

New Feature : Collapse and Expand Task Lists

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:18:00 GMT

One of the problems we faced on various projects was the shear amount of task lists. On one particular project, we have over 30 task lists i.e: Suggestions, Must Do ASAP, Nice Additions etc As a result, the Tasks page was taking quite a while to render and it was difficult to see the particular task list you were currently working on. A lot of people wanted a way of expanding and collapsing task lists so we weren't the only ones having the issue. I decided to implement this feature over the weekend. The state (Expanded / Collapsed) is persistant on your machine using tiny cookies and makes t.....

New Feature : Notebook Categories

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 04:11:00 GMT

A number of people requested that we add categories into the Project Notebook and I cant believe we didnt think of it from day one! It's something that we found was important and needed as our own Project Notebooks are growing in size. Today, I added categories. A new button is available that will allow you create a new category and provide a brief description. This little update also makes it easier to view notebooks and follows the style through the application. Existing notebook pages are not affected and are displayed first followed by the new categories. Here is a quick peek screenshot.....

New Feature : Project Roles

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:21:00 GMT

While working on a specific project, there are many times I need to know who to delegate a task to. To facilitate this, we have added a new feature called Project Roles Project Roles allows you to define roles per project and assign team members to this role. Administrators are responsible for creating and assigning roles and a role can contain multiple people. People can now see the defined roles and know who to contact regarding specific project questions......

New Teamwork Project Manager Feature: Files

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:15:00 GMT

Yesterday we launched one of our most requested features - a dedicated “Files” section. When you click into a project, you will now see the new "files" tab. We worked very hard to present the files sections with an uncluttered and intuitive interface. When you access your list of files, we tried to keep the visual impact at a minimum to provide the user with just what he/she needs. Advanced features are kept a click away to reduce to noise on-screen. So no training manuals should be needed here.   Upload multiple files in one go When you click "Add F.....

File & Document Management / Uploading support coming soon

Peter Coppinger — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 02:37:00 GMT

Teamwork Project Manager is about to get an important update - we are only days away from launching the long-awaited files section. Features include Each team work project will have it's own files section. A flash-based file upload control will allow your team members to upload hundreds of files in one go ( something none of our competitors are offering). Files will have version control - you can upload new versions of any file and view or remove the old versions. It's all about the speed The files sections has been programmed to be fast - for example, there a.....

Calendar Functionality : Live For Testing

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 06:02:00 GMT

Today we launched a test version of the My Calendar feature. The calendar is a frequently requested addition to Teamwork Project Manager and will definately help you to organize your day. You can add calendar events quickly and easily such as meetings, birthdays, conference dates etc which can be viewed by your team members! Of course, you can mark some events as private if you dont want other people to know what your up to! Features of the calendar include: Create event types and color code them Add / Edit / Delete events Have all day events or events that occur at a certai.....

Happy New Year - New Features On The Way

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 07:07:00 GMT

Happy New Year to everyone! We are working hard on new features and many of them well over due. Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions, we listen to all of them so keep them coming! A few items on the priority list and coming early in the new year: Files Section - Definately the most requested feature! 90% complete as I type... Dates on tasks - This is one of the most requested features after files and will be here shortly Multiple Language Support - Each user can choose their language of choice Gantt Chart  - Following on from Dates on Tasks G.....

Message Reply By Email Notifications

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 04:55:00 GMT

As a follow on to the last Blog Post, I have extended the functionality of the Reply By Email feature of the Message Section to send email alerts when a reply has been sent via email. The way it works is that everybody who is participating in the message thread will automatically receive a notification of the reply by email. Hope you like it! Let me know your thoughts....

Updates To Messages Section

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:41:00 GMT

Hey all! Since I have access to my email on a mobile device, I always thought it would be cool to be able to reply to a message via email. I am delighted to announce that this functionality has been implemented. Perfect for users who receive their email via a Blackberry, iPhone or PDA. In the next few days expect this functionality to be further enhanced to include: Ability to attach files to your email that will be attached to the message post Notify all users talking in a conversation that a new reply has been added Hope you enjoy this feature and find is as useful as I do!.....

November / December Updates

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 07:07:00 GMT

We have been busy for the last few weeks making vital changes to Teamwork Project Manager. Not only has the interface been redesigned, alot of functionality has gone through the ringer and we are extremely happy with the results. Some of the major improvements made include: New interface for Task Lists. Clicking a task will now load in a toolbar with the following options Edit - Allows you to edit the task Log Time - Allows you to log time spent on the task Move Task - Allows you to move the task to a different task list Set % complete - Al.....

TeamworkPm Review on KillerStartups.com

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:26:00 GMT

It seems that TeamworkPM got reviewed yesterday on KillerStartups.com. I'm happy enough with the review so please check it out.

Complete Interface Redesign

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:46:00 GMT

I have spent the last 2 days under house-arrest redoing the interface for Teamwork Project Manager. I called up Adam, our graphic designer mystro on Friday night and asked him to meet me at 1pm on Saturday. Adam duly turned up and we got stuck into the redesign. Roll on 7pm and we had a much improved interface design worked-out. What's new? In a word - curves. In 3 words - curves and simplicity. This is the before screenshot: And now the after screenshot: I put the changes live at about 8pm. No doubt some customers will be surprised when they log in tomorrow morning! .....

CSSMania!

Peter Coppinger — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:35:00 GMT

Dan submitted the TeamworkPM.net website (which you may be reading) to CSSMania.com and we got listed on the homepage. We received thousands of hits and hundreds of sign-ups in 24 hours. So thanks and welcome to anybody who found us through CSSMania. We are delighted that our website and product has got so much exposure. Now, apart from this blog, so far, we've kept the launch of TeamworkPM pretty hush hush but this was our first major annoucement - we have arrived!

New Feature: Track Billable Time

Peter Coppinger — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 06:04:00 GMT

Several people requested that we extend the time tracking feature I added 2 weeks ago so that they could track billable time on projects. Ask and ye shall received - I put aside 30 minutes to add in this ability just now. In the coming days, I'll add in the ability to generate invoices from these items. Stay tuned.

Project Risk Analysis and Register

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:53:00 GMT

An important component of project management is for your whole team to understand the aspects that may impact a projects cost, schedule and performance. We have now added a new project section that allows the project manager define risk sources and define the probabiliy and impact these sources may have on a project. The theory is simple. Add a risk source (e.g : Data migration issues) and gauge the probability of the risk happening on a scale of 1 - 9, gauge the impact on the project using a scale of 1 - 9 and define the areas of the project which are impacted if the source is realised. (C.....

New Feature - Tasks - Long description Support

Peter Coppinger — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 11:29:00 GMT

It's one of these things that was easy to implement but makes a massive difference - I added the ability to attach a longer description to any task item. It took about 30 minutes but it's so much neater and helps ours users keep organised. As always, I tried to keep the visual impact on the application to a minimum. The new feature shouldn't clutter the interface or get in your way......

Project Milestones Mini Calendar

Daniel Mackey — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:46:00 GMT

While working on a project yesterday which has many many milestones, I decided it was high time we added the ability to quickly look ahead at the next 3 months. I added a 3 month mini calendar view on the Project Milestones page which color codes the days of the month that certain milestones fall due. I had one small issue where a late and an upcoming milestone were on the same day. After some thinking I came up with a nice way of displaying days with different types of milestones. Play around to see the effect ;-) The way it works is that the 3 month view starts at the month that the longe.....

Project Reports - Bring Teamwork To Your Meetings!

Daniel Mackey — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 05:12:00 GMT

Project Management is only as good as the information that is both supplied and generated. We realise that there are many aspects to good project management and sit down meetings are an integrated process in organising your team. Our latest addition to Teamwork Project Manager allows you to get a PDF report of each particular project. On the project overview, there is a new button Project Report which gives a structured breakdown of your milestones, task lists and tasks. Click the Download PDF button and make your offline meetings more productive! Your report is fully colour coded .....

Tabs & Header Improvement (I think)

Peter Coppinger — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 01:27:00 GMT

I'm not a graphic artist by any stretch of the imagination. But tonight when I sat down to force myself to work on the new and long awaited file section, I decided instead to work on improving the page title header. I played with all sorts of shades and effects before finally settling on the simple plain color you see below. Once I was happy with that improvement, it suddenly struck me that the rounded edges of the tabs were slightly too much. I also adjusted the selected tab so that it has a slight gradient from white to grey and is a little taller than the other tabs. What do you th.....

Tastes Like Salt - Security Upgrade

Peter Coppinger — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:20:00 GMT

On Teamwork Project Manager, we have been using high security Hashed passwords from the start. Today I upgraded TeamworkPM so that from now on all passwords will be stored as hashes with an additional seed value - a technique called a Salted Hash. This is an industry accepted best practice and should be implemented by all online web services (but isn't)......

Error reporting in TeamworkPM

Peter Coppinger — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 06:10:00 GMT

We take bugs seriously. We hate them. We want your experience to be perfectly smooth. For this reason, If you are using Teamwork Project Manager and something goes wrong - a query fails to execute, a page takes too long to load or we have some bug in the code... within moments, all Teamwork Developers are send emails and mobile text messages informing us that something is wrong. This has rarely happened but it's an excellent feature that instantly switches our attention from whatever we happen to be doing , to keeping Teamwork in tip-top shape. Just letting you know - we are dedicated.....

Todays New feature: Time Tracking - Delete Items

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 06:00:00 GMT

I had 2 glaring obmissions from the Time tracking system I added the other day. One was the ability to edit a time log entry. The other way the ability to delete an entry. Pretty basic stuff. Tonight I've added in the ability to remove an existing time log entry. When you delete an item - We confirm you want to delete it (I may change this later to match the rest of the applications Do-It-and-provide-an-undo style later). A "deleting.." message appears in place of the delete option, complete with ajax-in-progress animation icon. An ajax call removes the entry chec.....

Task Progress : Percentage Complete now added

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 09:44:00 GMT

Another quick update and feature added today. You are now able to set the progress complete of each individual task using the Task Toolbar If you set the task progress to 100%, the task is now marked as complete See this post for more information : Moveable Tasks

New Feature : Moveable Tasks

Daniel Mackey — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 08:31:00 GMT

This new feature has been on the Suggestions List for absolutely ages and today I really needed it so instead of Copy, Create, Paste, Delete I added the ability to the new Task Toolbar to move a task to a different Task List This is how easy it is now to move a task

Weekend Programming Stint = Time Tracking Added!

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:41:00 GMT

I promised you more features so this weekend, I ignored Ireland's otiose efforts at sports and locked myself in my home office. Armed with only my trusty beaten Dell laptop, Homesite+, MySQL and 2 litres of Jolt cola, I engaged the code in anger... 13 hours later and Teamwork Project Manager now supports time tracking and a host of other minor improvements. View the image gallery below. (If you are viewing this post using an RSS reader, you will need to visited the website).

People On This Project

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 07:35:00 GMT

When you view a project, there are times where you would like to know quickly who is currently working on the project. We always had this feature but it was not that useful other than telling you the names of the people. I updated this today to pull in the User Cards for all the people on the project including extra details such as Email Address Contact Numbers Photo Title Whether an Admin or not. Below shows a before and after screen:.....

Dashboard Upcoming Milestones Mini Calendar

Daniel Mackey — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 05:37:00 GMT

Another usability update on the dashboard page. There were many times where I wanted to look ahead at my upcoming milestones from the dashboard page without having to click away. Today I added the ability to choose how many days ahead you want to look. You'll see 3 new links available:

Today's New Feature: Sticky Dashboard View

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:37:00 GMT

Before I outline today's improvements, let me first explain the dashboard custom view. Dashboard Custom View On the dashboard you have 2 views modes - the full view and the custom view. The full view shows the latest activity in all your projects. The custom view only shows the latest activity in the projects you have currently starred. To "star" or "un-star" a project you simply click the star icon beside a project's name. After a second (we have a slight delay to give you time to star several items) the view changes from the full view to the custom view. The cus.....

Quick Add Links Per Project On Dashboard Added

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 05:32:00 GMT

One thing I found after months of using Teamwork Project Manager is that there is no easy way of creating items from the dashboard apart from a new project. This evening, it bugged me so much I went away and added it. On the dashboard now where the projects are listed, I added 3 links per project to create: A New Milestone A New Task List and ability to add tasks right away A New Message The change looks like the following: Hope you find it as useful as I do ;-).....

Todays New Feature : Project Creation Activity Item

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 09:50:00 GMT

One thing that was on our list and we found necessary was to get some notification on the Dashboard when a new project is created. Along with the many UI updates I added late last night, this is the most useful and looks like this on your dashboard: I also updated the RSS feed to included the New Project notification.

IE6 Support Finally Added! Phew!

Daniel Mackey — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:36:00 GMT

I finally got the last of the IE6 show stopping issues ironed out and Teamwork Project Manager is now updated to allow IE6 users! There is one little quirk on the task page which I am still working on but it is more an annoyance in the UI than actually stopping tasks from being added/edited etc If you find anything strange, let me know and I'll have it sorted! On a side note, according to Google Analytics 59% of our visitors are currently running IE6! That was far more than either Peter or myself imagined......

Your password is secure

Peter Coppinger — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 04:41:00 GMT

That feedback feature I added has worked out great so far. We've got some great suggestions and enquiries in. One customer used to feedback option to contact us. He had used the option to retrieve a lost password and wondered why the password we emailed him was different to the password he originally provided. The answer, I replied, is security. We do not store your passwords! Instead we store a HASH of the passwords. A HASH is a one-way transform. For example in the database, the password "tulsar256" might have been transformed to a string like "DDC3954CB4BC3AFE4A278.....

Today's New Feature: Feedback Added

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 06:56:00 GMT

So 1 day down and we've had a monkey-load of installations! Just about everybody is using the free account... so I guess we'll have our work cut out convincing people to upgrade but that's OK... I relish the challenge. OK, I've decided that i'm going to try to add at least one feature, bug fix or enhancement everyday. Today I added something that really should have been there from the start... the ability to um, well, cancel one's account if you must. Cancel Account Not a feature I relished in adding but it had to be done. Before we cancel the account, we try to encourage the user to.....

We have launched!

Peter Coppinger — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 12:32:00 GMT

We have finally launched!! And what a wild ride it has been getting everything ready. The Website - Final Days About a 5 days ago we had this marketing website almost complete. We stood back and looked at what we had created... and we decided... it sucked. Against the pressure of the looming launch date chiseled in stone on the preview website, we started again. We threw away the old website and said to our designer, Adam, "Hey Buddy, um... we don't like the site. Can you cook us up something prettier?". Lo and behold, he disappeared off the face of the Earth for 2 days and r.....

Teamwork Project Manager Launches

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 12:30:00 GMT

We got there! After a gruelling few days hard work and an extremely long day yesterday, Topper and myself finally hit our launch milestone and Teamwork Project Manager went live Already the feedback has been excellent and a roadmap of features will be defined and uploaded today sometime. People really really like the UI and the Teamwork PM approach to Project Management Some of the features I cant wait for myself, such as: Project Notebooks - Like a mini version comparing word processor without the crap Windows App (My Baby) - A tabbed multiple project installation host for Te.....

Location / Timezones detection added

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 03:26:00 GMT

Its 3.24am - I'm been Working on detecting where the user is from so that I display the correct timezone for him. It's not as easy as you might think. For example, if a user is in Djiion, France, the timezoneId should be 56 , an index into the timezones table which says this is GMT+1. 12 Sept I have messages finished with about a week now. The flash uploading is working nicely but I'd better do some testing with older browsers. I just had an idea - we did some research a while back on a project for .net one click install and we now can't remember where the code is or the steps to enable.....

Getting There...

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:13:00 GMT

TeamworkPM is really coming along nicely now. We are using it daily to manage our 50 or so active projects at Digital Crew - so we really are "eating our own dogfood", as they say. Because we are using this so-much, we have come up with a fist-load of useful features and optimizations that will really benefit our customers when we release. Which reminds me, after some debate, we have finally set the launch date - as you should be able to see in the countdown above if viewing this post on the Preview site. So 51 days left! Why are we taking so long when we already have this whol.....

Weekend Programming

Peter Coppinger — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 11:10:00 GMT

Working on the weekend just fixed a few bugs on TW. Nothing too stressful. I finally marked today in the date picker calendar with a slightly different style. When fixing the bug "Todo list can be created with no name"... I just decided that it would be nice to not force the user to put in the list name and to give them it a good default name - something better than "Untitled To-do list"... How about "To-do List - Wednesday January 20". Dan has been working on the RSS feeds so I just added the overall RSS feed to the home page. I really must stop playing ar.....

Sexual New Tabs

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 10:34:00 GMT

Today Dan added sexual new tabs to the header. A major improvement over the old blocky tabs our competitors use. Unfortunately I had checked-in my work-in-progress on the messages section last week and when Dan updated the live copy with the latest version from source control - it installed my half-done work. We'll have to be very careful making updates when this goes live. I should mention we have a mechanism in place for displaying an "Upgrade in progress" message on the screen while we make major changes. ASIDE: Last night I dreamt up a way to prevent javascript files from c.....

Project Quick Dropdown Upgrade

Peter Coppinger — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:40:00 GMT

I have loads of work to do but while using Teamwork, I had to enter a new project. I found it annoying to have to click to the dashboard and then click new project to quickly add a new project. I had been checking the project dropdomn menu to see if the project I needed already existed.     Then I thought, I should really be able to add a new project from the drop down. It makes sense: the user scans the drop-down, can't see the required project and should be then able to quickly add it. So that's just what I've done - the dropdown now had an OPTIONS sections at the bottom .....

Messages are tougher than they look

Peter Coppinger — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 10:45:00 GMT

Message categories are a cause for thought so excuse this braindump. If I just copy the installation categories to the projectMessageCategories table, I will end up with a massive database with the same categories repeating again and again for each project. This is easy to manage but swells the database with records. I want each project to be able to have it's own categories so I suppose I just have to bite the bullet and do it this way. The other way was to allow multiple project to reference the same categoryId... but this would cause management headaches - what if project 1 remov.....

Coming soon: Messages

Peter Coppinger — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 07:26:00 GMT

In the office on Sunday at 7.30pm - I want to get the messages section done tonight if possible. Been busy all weekend. Hopefully Dan will have found to put the initial teaser website live. I'm starting to put  in the code everywhere I want to copywriter to modify text. I've just finished designing the messages and message files tables. I have a idea for the messages page - I'm going to list just the titles and switch to full message view when a user clicks on a message. Updated and new messages will be in bold......

Improved Email Quality

Peter Coppinger — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:26:00 GMT

Some testers had said the emails looked like spam on first glance so I have just improved the format emails are sent. The from address is now much neater and from signup onwards, it uses the installation name like no-reply@InstallationDomain.com Also all email subjects are now prepended with the installation name. I also added the ability to resend welcome emails at Sam's requst yesterday - the dummy had entered some emails incorrectly for an installation and wanted to be able to easily resend the emails without having to delete/recreate the users. Looking forward to adding the Me.....

Teamwork Is Coming!

Daniel Mackey — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 04:32:00 GMT

Get ready to take control of your projects! We are about to launch Teamwork Project Manager and the excitement is building! We are working hard to nail down the final Version 1 features and add some extra helping of spit and polish to the app. Stay tuned for more discussion on features, screenshots of the project and insight into the products abilities!
