Teambox review

Teambox is an incredibly effective project management and team collaboration utility app for your iPhone. The Teambox iPhone app syncs with its online partner at teambox.com to keep you on top of tasks and responsibilities from your desk, your car, or your pillow. Wherever you need to be in your life, the Teambox iPhone app helps you manage projects with ease and efficiency.

As with any utility app, you will want to spend time creating projects and categories. You also have the opportunity to designate other people who may be part of the project. One of the excellent features of the Teambox iPhone app is the ability to assign projects by “organization.” For example, an entrepreneur or small business can designate multiple projects to the same client. If a different group of employees manages one project, then they may be linked to the project. If there needs to be one member of a team who needs to be kept in the loop, but not necessarily charged with responsibilities, then that person may have access to the project’s tasks and information. This ability to stay in the loop without endless email threads is an unobtrusive and effective resource within companies small and large.

The interesting feature the Teambox iPhone app and online tool brings to the table is a forum. You designate a “watcher” to monitor the conversation. So, instead of email threads where the right person is never copied, a conversation about a specific task or item can be created and tracked. The Teambox iPhone app has hit the nail on the head. Email threads are productive to a point, then they quickly become cumbersome and problematic. Once you and your team have decided on a solution, with one touch, you can change the conversation to a task to create a successful conclusion. The integration of the forum tool with the Teambox iPhone app will save you time and money.

You can create tasks and lists of tasks. With a project, rarely does one task complete a job. You have the opportunity to develop all of the steps necessary to complete a task for a project. You can assign a timeline and a team member to complete the task. During a project, you may think about ways to streamline the process for yourself and for your clients. You troubleshoot. You notice items that just simply cannot be changed mid-stream, but should in a future scenario. You can log all of these extra insights and inspiration in the pages icon. You can also integrate Google documents and sync with Google calendar.

Teambox’s iPhone app harnesses incredible functionality with the ability to be as detailed and thorough as you want. The interface is clean, modern, and attractive. The controls are responsive and intuitive. This is the kind of resource accessible to those less tech savvy, but interesting for those who are.

Teambox is an incredibly well-organized and helpful project management utility iPhone app with the unexpected price tag of free. Teambox may be the most functional free project management app in the iTunes store.
