I use Basecamp and while I think it’s useful for somethings, I don’t think I’d use it to manage a big team. It definitely has its upsides but software development projects are not really what I think it excels at.
I see no one has mentioned Clarizen yet.
Clarizen project management software does everything you need -
It breaks down a big project into milestones, and you decide who is responsible for what. As people get their tasks done, the program tells you what is urgent, what can wait and what is done.
You can share specific projects with your clients so that they can either only see the progress or actively participate in the program.
And it allows you to upload files that everyone can then see.
I think Clarizen fits all of your criteria - so it is worth having a look at their site and taking the tour.
We’ve now moved from Basecamp to Apollo HQ (thanks for the tip Steven!) as we fell it offers good value for money and allows us to consolidate our previous setup that was a mixture of Basecamp, Highrise, and Daylite into one single service/browser tab. It’s quite slick too.
Hello..
There are many software available which help in managing the work more efficiently and keep the update of it. I have a client management software and it keeps all the record of my work and also with the help of it, my business has been raised. I used Maximizer software.
i went through many of these systems and none really fitted. |So i rolled my own in it most basic form using CI - and its great for me. Not usable for any other business, but suits mine. It even runs through to the billing and does my tax return figures… so don;t exclude that option.
This is the most interesting answer so far
There are many ways to manager our web projects. As developers, I was surprised to only seen one reply regarding a custom solution.
I wonder how many others built their own either with EE, CI, or something else.

I’m actually working on my own system now. I used Basecamp for some time, but needed other features, and did not use some of the existing features. I also did not use it enough to justify a monthly subscription expense. So I’m building my own, and using it for one of my clients too.

That’s awesome man!
I remember a while back (years ago?), there was a thread here that a developer had started.
He was planning on releasing his template files and a tutorial/description of how he set one up. I think this was before 2.x was released.
I’m sure that now, with CI powering the back-end, it would be an even more powerful project manager.
