They offer the full spectrum of features, from work and task management, to project and portfolio management

The reason is that their management team all come from a Senior Project Management background, having managed projects up to $1 billion in size
So they really understand how projects should be managed.

Their product is unique for 3 key reasons:
It’s easier to use than anything else on the market. While they offer free training, mentoring and support in the product, they say you don’t need it – you can login and create a project and a task list in under a minute.
Their project planning tool rivals Microsoft Project. You can import an MS Project plan, share it with your team and update it online. It comes with all of the most commonly used features from MS Project, as well as a few others – like being able to see your planned vs. actual view at the same time.
The great thing is that on the Dashboard, you can see the status of each project in real-time. So as teams are all logging in an updating task information, we can see the overall project status update as it happens.

6. Online Project Planning
Product Features
Online Project Planning
Here’s what the project planner looks like. It’s completely interactive, just like MS Project. So for instance, we can click and drag task bars to change their planned start and end dates and % complete.
We can also create large plans if we want to, with over 1,000 tasks and update them easily online.
And the best thing is that it’s simple and easy to use.
Also, every time we make a change, the system s all the people assigned to tasks and lets them know of the changes, to keep everyone on the same page.

7. Virtual Project Dashboard
Product Features
Here’s what the dashboard looks like
Every project gets it’s own dashboard. We can also have dashboards for project groups, and there’s an overall dashboard for the entire portfolio of projects too.
The dashboard tells us the health of each project, whether it's on time, under budget and what the overall progress is.
We can see the status of tasks been completed, how efficient our resource allocation is and whether there are any risks, issues or changes that need to be addressed.
We can also customise the dashboard by changing the layout of the charts in turning charts on and off.

9. Pricing - Simple & Low Cost
It's a really simple pricing model, we simply pay per user logged in to the system.
So it starts at $25 per user per month.
We can increase and decrease the number of users at any time.
We also get discounts if we prepay. So we get a 10% discount if we prepay for one year, 20% the two years and 30% three years.
In comparison to Microsoft project licensing which is around $1,000 per user for the desktop version and over $5,000 per install for the server version, it makes it a really cheap and affordable model.

4. First Rollout
There are 5 simple steps to trialling and rolling out ProjectManager.com
The 1st step is to take a Free Trial of the service online. We get 30 days to try the service in full, to see if it’s the right tool for us.
During this time we'll set up our first project. We'll choose a project that's relatively short duration and one of its fairly easy to track with only a handful of resources.
We'll also request a demo from their support team during this time, we’ll watch the video tutorials online and get help when needed so that we can make an informed decision about it’s success once the project is complete.
If it's a thumbs up then the next step will be to ask our “1st Tranche” of Project Managers to use the product.
If they use the product over a couple of months and find it beneficial, then we'll ask the remaining Project Managers in our Organization to use it.
Thanks for listening and any questions before I sign up for a “Free Trial”?
