Web-based Project Management Services

What's the problem?

Your research project's team is distributed across multiple institutions or work schedules, and you need to keep everyone up to date with the latest project documents or other files.

Why should I care?

Exchanging project documents on a flash drive or other removable media may work ok for 2-3 collaborators, but gets unmanageable with larger teams. Emailing each other as changes are made can get confusing, too. A teammate coming back from vacation or a conference would have to sort through lots of emails to figure out which ones contain the most recent files, unless you email an archive of every project file every time the smallest change is made to any file. And that has its own problems.

What's your solution?

A web-based project management and collaboration system can provide space to keep multiple revisions of project files in one universally-accessible location.

It can offer access to project files to team members at other universities. Team members can be notified of project activity through an RSS feed.
