Task/Issue Management for groups: Colabolo
Wednesday 22 July 2009 | Written by Richard Brunton | Cool Tools | Comments (0)
Colabolo is a collaborative team management tool for tasks and issues, a simple project management tool that isn't dependant on a certain desktop (almost!) as it runs on Adobe Air.
It looks an interesting tool to bring teams together who are working on a project and just need a simple task manager. Although I do like the more complex collaborative team management systems, this does look like a simple to use and nicely put together application.
Here's a quote from the website about what it can do, just an extract from the overview and sales speak:
...efficiently assign, track and resolve task assignments, business issues, sales leads, approval requests, document reviews, support requests, defects or any other collaborative task that requires a coordinated team effort...
Some of the features are:
- Manage your tasks as simply as you do email
- Receive all updates at the built-in Inbox. Not via email
- Integrate with email account to interact with your customers
- Organize your issues by type, status, assignee, priority
- Filter issues by type, status or assignee
- Discuss with your colleagues using real-time commenting
- Drag and drop files to share them
- Receive push notifications to your dock - You don't have to go check them
- Customize the issue workflow to match your business process
- See the task/schedule list as a project plan with live updates
- Review progress of the project and tasks through the customisable, individual dashboard
- Mobile versions are coming, iPhone is here now
Colabolo looks an interesting and powerful small tool for managing projects across a wider group.
While I'd like to look into it at my work the very fact that it needs a desktop install is a barrier. I might try using it for work outside of my day job and Filmstalker - I use Toodledo for my own task management - as I'll be working with one or two clients.
