Every project’s tasks, hours and documents, and the client’s sign-off

Project management for Indian businesses: tasks on a board or a list, hours logged, documents kept with the work, and deliverables your client signs off.

An add-on to the Operations set

What it does

Projects, tasks, hours, documents and deliverables

A project holds its team, its tasks and the hours spent on them, the documents that go with it, and what it hands over for approval.

The project

What it holds
A code, title and description, a status from draft to completed, a priority, start and due dates, and a budget.
For a customer
Pick one of your customers. Leave it empty and the project is marked internal.
The team
A project manager, and people added as managers, members or observers.
Branch by branch
Each branch keeps its own projects.

Tasks

Tasks and subtasks
Each with a person assigned, a priority, start and due dates and the hours it should take. A task can sit under another.
A board or a list
On the board every status has a column — pending, in progress, review, done, blocked — and a task is dragged across. Or read them as a list.
Your own tasks
The projects dashboard lists what is assigned to you across projects, with anything past its due date marked.

Hours and documents

Hours logged
Each person logs their hours with a date and a note, against the project or one of its tasks.
Documents with the work
PDFs, images, Word and Excel files and ZIPs, up to 10 MB each, on the project, a task or a deliverable.
Comments
A running thread on the project, for the people working on it.

Deliverables and sign-off

Deliverables
What the project hands over, each with a due date and, if you like, the task it comes from. Submitted for review when it is ready.
Approved in the office
Ask someone on your staff. It waits in their list of pending approvals.
Approved by the client
A link the client opens without signing in, to approve or reject with a note.
The deliverable follows
Approved once every approval asked for is in; rejected if any one is rejected.
  • The link, sent by you
  • An answer given
  • The deliverable’s status

How a deliverable is signed off

The client’s sign-off, through a link

The client needs no login. They open the link you send, answer, and the deliverable’s status follows.

The deliverable
Marked submitted when it is ready. Asking anyone to approve it puts it in review.
The link
Enter the client’s name and email and a link is made for them. You send it yourself — nothing is emailed from the office.
What they see
The project, the deliverable’s title, a box for a note, and Approve or Reject. No sign-in, and no files.
Their answer
Given once, with their note. Open the link again and it shows the answer already given.
The status
The deliverable turns approved when every approval is in, or rejected on any one rejection. Each request and answer is recorded.

What a project takes from the rest of the office

A project reads your customers and your people. The work, the hours and the sign-offs stay on the project.

  • Takes from

    Customers

    The customer a project is for, picked from your customer records. Leave it empty and the project is internal.

  • Takes from

    The people in your office

    The manager, the team, the office approver and everyone who logs hours are people who sign in to your office.

Before you buy

Projects questions, answered

The things a business asks before moving its jobs over, answered directly — including the ones where the answer is no.

No. A project keeps no prices and makes no invoice, and its hours are not carried onto one. Invoices are made separately, as they are for any other sale.

No. Hours are logged — who, which day, how long, a note and the task if there is one — and read on the project. There are no rates, no billable flag and no approval of hours.

No. Tasks are read on a board, a column for each status, or as a list, each with its own start and due dates. Tasks do not depend on one another.

No. You enter the client’s name and email, the link is made and shown to you, and you send it yourself — by email, WhatsApp or however you already reach them. Nothing is sent from the office.

No. The link opens one page: the project’s name, the deliverable’s title, a box for a note, and Approve or Reject. Tasks, hours, documents and comments stay in the office, and the deliverable’s files are not shown on it — send those the way you do today.

No. Projects is an add-on to the Operations set, priced a person a month on top of it, for the same people.
