Project Management Application - Huddle Review

Huddle is a full-fledged project management application that offers a plethora of features. Business owners, marketers and teachers are among the professionals who might benefit from using this Web app.

The slide show at the site's homepage may lead you to believe that there is not a free version available, but that is not true: you can sign-up for a free account. Although it will not be as feature-rich as its paid counterparts, it may be useful all the same.

With this Web application you can create virtual workspaces. These are going to be the environments on which your and your team's activities will take place. Each workspace can be configured so that only certain users can have access to it. If you have two teams working on different parts of a project, for instance, you can create a workspace for each of them; the members of team A will not be able to interfere in the activities of team B and vice-versa. Besides, within the same workspace you can set different permissions for each user.

You can upload multiple files to every single workspace and organize all the content in folders and subfolders. With the built-in search tool you and the other users will be able to quickly locate any needed documents.

Once they are uploaded to Huddle's servers, your documents can either be edited or locked and you are given complete control over all things that are done to your files. You can even use the Web application to create files online; these may be either word documents or spreadsheets.

Huddle also works as an online task manager. You can use it to keep track of your project's deadlines and see if your team members have finished their duties on time or not.

Meetings and Web conferencing are two more features that you may put to use. Set dates for events, send invitations and promote conferences with phone, video and/or screen sharing tools. In case there is no need for an actual conference, you can handle discussions and brainstorming sessions with your team by using the Discussion and Whiteboard areas.

Huddle is a nearly complete Web application for those interested in online project management. This powerful tool offers enough resources to allow you to manage your team efficiently.
