PlanDone focuses heavily on completing projects and uses the collaboration element to make that happen. For the individual, besides the MyTop10, you have MyTimeline and MyTasks that act as your individual project dashboard.

MyTimeline is a visual representation of individual project deadlines based on the rate of action step completion versus estimates or ranges. Take a look at MyTimeline:

MyTasks is like a project inbox that shows personal progress on individual and shared tasks. Here's a visual of MyTasks:

Using the open-source wiki technology, PlanDone provides projects with a whiteboard that can be shared internally or externally (extranet) via invitation. The wiki provides a common place for documentation and editing including rollback and comparison with time, date, and user stamp so team members can see what changes were made when and by whom.

A project specific Chat/IM client allows immediate discussion between team members and the content of the chat session can be easily saved into the project documentation or individual tasks.

Each project has a staff area that allows for tracking of personal goals, organizational goals, and time off which can be integrated within the project data.

There's nothing centralized about projects in today's work environment so PlanDone is accessible on mobile devices (iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, etc.). SMS alert features are currently in beta.

The Technology
