Though Microsoft Project is a capable project management program, not everyone needs its power. If you want help managing a business project but using Project feels like swinging a sledgehammer to swat a fly, try a less ponderous alternative.
Web-based project management services are fairly easy to set up. You don't have to install software on your PC; and since all project information is stored online, any team member with Internet access, a Web browser, and an e-mail account can participate, even remotely.
