Project systems: Looking for a universal solution to manage tasks

Any well-coordinated project has a clearly defined workflow which includes tasks, action lists, and event schedules. Such a project requires project system software that helps run tasks and action lists according to schedule. Project systems can provide you with a productive work environment to manage tasks, processes and schedules within projects and to assist your employees in managing daily workflow and personal to-do lists. All workflow details, work papers, documents, and a complete history of projects are kept within project systems.

There're many different systems (e.g. desktop or online) on the software market. For example, Microsoft project system. This is a popular desktop program which is also known as MS solution. It offers powerful features for planning, scheduling and managing projects. However, this software is quite expensive, and lacks collaboration so not every company can afford it. They are also popular but they require Internet connection to access projects stored on web servers. In addition, those systems require regular fees to be deposited for web services.

Often free project systems seem to be a great alternative to both Microsoft project system and any online tools. As it may seem at first glance, any free solution offers similar functionality and it's absolutely free! However, free systems have essential disadvantages, like spyware and viruses, a lack of tech support and tutorials, and instability and poor performance. It's recommended to use tools for demonstration and examination purposes only.
