Manymoon Project Management Software

Manymoon is free project management software that incorporates Google Apps. The free membership entitles the user to unlimited tasks, unlimited projects, unlimited users, Google Apps integration and document uploads. Storage space is limited to 5MB; however they offer two different upgrades for small monthly fees. The easy to use web interface allows users to create projects, assign tasks and track progress. Commands and tools are housed in submenus and tabs to keep visual clutter on any given page to a minimum. Your home screen looks more like a Facebook newsfeed than the dashboard interface you might be used to from other management software. You receive updates here based on the recent activities of members on your project team. Things like the creation or completion of a task or a project, what any member is currently working on, and additions to the project team will all show up here as they occur. Manymoon has links to Twitter and Facebook along with their own pages so you can receive software upgrades. Manymoon’s tight integration with Google Docs makes adding documents to a task or project a snap. It retrieves a list of your documents and you just pick which one you want.
