• Constant communication: Online project management tools keep everyone on the project team informed and updated. All team members need to do is log on and they can easily view projects and tasks they are assigned to, update project information, and see whether or not a task is billable.
• Tracking: Easily monitor time, view due dates, find out project status and see who’s doing what in a clean and organized way.
• Central Repository: Upload and share relevant files and store FTP, contact and various project information all in one, easy to access place. No more scraps of paper lying around - by using project management software, you can stay focused on the tasks at hand, rather than hunting for bits of info.
• Reporting: Project management tools like SantexQ allow you to take project data and turn it into Excel spreadsheets. This information can be very valuable for sharing with clients, looking at team performance and forecasting for future projects.
• Billing and Invoicing: For those businesses that run on billable hours, you know that keeping track of hours spent on a project is essential. The right online PM tools can help you keep track of billable hours and turn them into invoices with just a few clicks.

Webinars. Short for Web-based seminar, a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web. The concept may seem simple enough, but can they be used as a tool for project management?

We just attended a webinar on Social Media  yesterday brought to us by Hubspot.com. The session was very informative and even gave us an opportunity to ask questions and get live answers. Webinars are a great way to communicate, share useful information and interact with people from across the globe. Before, “seminars”  meant taking a business trip and typically paying a fee to attend. Now you can easily learn valuable information from experts for free, all through the miracle of the Internet. Not only this, but webinars can be recorded and replayed for anyone who missed them.

In the world of project management, webinars can be used in a few ways: you can let your team members know about an upcoming webinar so they can attend and ask questions, you can refer clients to a webinar so that they may learn more information about the service you provide (this is especially helpful with things like social media and SEO), or you can hold your OWN webinar to interact with and help train new or existing team members. It’s high time we start using the incredible power of the Internet to better communicate, inform and bring our project teams closer. In a sense, webinars are another form of online project management tools.
