    Gain complete control over your projects with a flexible, user-friendly tool

    Project management solutions are supposed to make organizing and keeping track of projects a breeze.

    But too many of these tools are overcomplicated with such a steep learning curve that it almost makes you want to go back to spreadsheets. (Keyword: almost.)

    What if there was a simple project management tool that offered quick onboarding to make your team more efficient and organized sooner rather than later?

    Time to get ActiveCollab.

    TL;DR

    Organize and track unlimited projects with unlimited tasks and dependencies in Kanban, Gantt, or list view
    Alternative to: ClickUp, Asana, Monday
    Easily track time on projects, and update availability records to handle out of office requests
    Best for: Digital agencies and software developers who manage a variety of projects, teams, or clients simultaneously

    Overview

    ActiveCollab is an all-in-one project management tool with an intuitive interface that helps you keep organized and deliver projects on time.

    With ActiveCollab, your team will never lose track of another project task, file, due date, or conversation again!

    You can break down projects into actionable tasks, assign due dates, and attach files to ensure team members have everything they need to complete the task on time.

    Assign tasks directly to team members, tracking their progress through the comments.

    Got assignments that can't begin until others are completed? Connect tasks with a dependency and use automatic rescheduling to make sure they’re assigned at the right time.

    Task card with assignees and due dates

    Break your project into tasks and subtasks while adding due dates, assignees, and files.

    When dealing with multiple projects and clients, it’s easy to get mixed up if you don’t stay organized. (“Wait, did they say they wanted ‘more class’ or ‘more crass’?”)

    With ActiveCollab, you can group tasks into task lists categorized based on the phase of the project, like discovery or ideate. Or you can group by the type of project, such as admin or marketing.

    You can also use labels to add progress details to each task—assigned, in progress, blocked, completed, approved, and more.

    Finding specific tasks on the platform is easy when you can search for tasks using the search feature or filter tasks based on task list, assignee, due date, or labels.

    Project task overview

    Get a bird’s eye view of all your project tasks, filtering by task list, assignee, due date, or label.

    Not everyone likes to visualize projects in the same way. (“Are you a Kanban gal or a Gantt guy?” Wow, BuzzFeed is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one.)

    With ActiveCollab, you get to choose how you view your tasks on the platform based on your own preferences.

    Choose Kanban view for columns, Gantt for a timeline view, or List to see your task lists—giving everyone the opportunity to have an overview of what they need to work on and when.

    Kanban board of project

    View your tasks in Kanban, Gantt (timeline), or list view—whichever way you work best!

    Tired of using yet another spreadsheet or app to track your time on projects?

    With ActiveCollab, it’s all in one place! You and your team can track hours spent on each project in the same platform using the integrated Stopwatch.

    That way, you’ll know exactly how many hours to charge your clients and identify inefficiencies in your processes to improve them!

    Time being tracked for each task

    Track the time you spend working on projects with the easy-to-use Stopwatch feature.

    Reports give an overview of what every team member is working on, providing key insight into activities and allowing you to better plan and use your resources.

    You also won’t need to use any additional spreadsheets or apps to keep track of when employees take a vacation or a day off.

    Instead, manage all availability records for the entire team on the same platform, making it easy for everyone to see who is available and when.

    Availability record

    Create availability records to show when you’re on vacation or taking a day off.

    It’s time to declutter your workspace. (Don’t worry. Your Harry Potter Funko Pops are safe... for now.)

    ActiveCollab puts everything you need to manage projects and keep your team organized in a comprehensive, intuitive platform.

    Your team will be more efficient and complete more projects with fewer roadblocks.

    From the founders

    April 25, 2021

    Hello Sumo-lings, Ilija from ActiveCollab here 👋

    Let’s just say that this deal was 15 years in the making. Over the years, we’ve been evolving and refining the product based on tens of thousands of comments coming from as many customers from all corners of the globe. That experience is applied in mixing our new Plus plan, which packs evergreen project management and collaboration features in an easy to understand, yet powerful productivity environment.

    You’ll love the structure and organization ActiveCollab adds to your work, while your team and clients will like that it’s easy to learn and use. Just don’t let the simple looks and shallow navigation structure fool you. The app packs many useful features that will reveal themselves when you need them but stay off sight when you don’t.

    For example:

    -When you reschedule tasks and their dependencies, the system will automatically work around weekends and holidays.

    -Project templates are created from successful projects in two clicks for future reuse.

    -Your time entries will be automatically rounded to increments your agency uses.

    Apart from the Plus plan that we’re launching now, two more major initiatives are targeted for spring/summer 2021:

    -A brand new mobile app

    -Team chat

    The mobile app will help you stay in the loop while you are away from the computer or relaxing on a sofa. All the latest news and updates are pushed to your phone or a watch, without you needing to check the app or bug people for status updates.

    The team chat adds an extra layer of communication features to the software. With private one-on-one and group chat, teams can find new ways to work together. And it’s all well integrated with the rest of the product, so there’s no data duplication, forgetting to invite someone, revoking access, strange data bridging, and flaky integrations. It’s one app with a single goal - to help you get your projects done faster and easier through collaboration.
