Technology was supposed to make our lives easier, right? While that sometimes doesn't seem to be the case, every now and then an online tool comes along to prove that technology can, indeed, make life a little easier.
A vendor I'm working with on a big, complex project turned me on to Active Collab, a subscription-based service that allows multiple users to post and alter task lists. You can also upload files related to the project, and create milestones as certain tasks are accomplished. I've found it fairly easy to use, although it's a bit confusing when posting new tasks to know how to add to an existing task list rather than creating a new task list. I've been told the professional version might be an improvement.
ActiveCollab has great potential even for smaller, less complicated jobs. Anything that has more than one person working on more than one task would benefit from a system like this. And it's especially useful if team members are at multiple locations.

This is so useful! I am just beginning to collaborate with an off-site scheduler, and this resource couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks for daring to blog, Joanne! It's already paying off! -Jen M.
