Within 5pm the Timeline View provides a Gantt-style chart for managing your projects schedule. Now you can not just view, but also drag-and-drop tasks and projects to alter their beginning and ending dates!.

If you would like to see how the Timeline view can help you to organize and update your projects and tasks, please feel free to take a look at our short video tutorial.

As we all wrap it in this week at the office, how is your project management software helping or hindering? Do you find the tools you’ve been using make it easy to keep an eye on the highest priorities and ensure it all gets taken care of before you head out to the Christmas party?

There are an infinite number of ways to handle project management, each with their own strengths and weaknesses relating to the size of your projects and the teams you work within. With any luck, you’re able to get it all taken care of in one central location, quickly and easily, so you can get back to focusing on your work. Your project management tool should be so intuitive you need barely think about changing your start and end dates when that last minute task gets pushed back over the annual Christmas shut-down. You need to be able to quickly drag-and-drop your tasks when date estimates change due to the holiday rush, and this is a good time to consider whether or not your existing software makes that another little headache for you to deal with. Whether you’re team is using Scrum and Agile, or you’re still working through Waterfall methods, your tool needs to stand up and flexibly handle changing priorities.

We just introduced 5pm automatic email reminders. By setting auto-reminders on through the settings window, you will ensure 5pmweb stars sending you a daily email with all your tasks. Today’s tasks will be shown along with those that are overdue, so you can stay on time with all your important to do items. Take a closer look at this hot new feature.

Email notifications in 5pm are handy for notifying your team members about updates or comments you made. Now, if your comments contain files, you can attach those to the email notifications, so your team can check them without logging into 5pm. Just make sure to keep your attachments small (up to 2Mb) - a lot of servers don’t accept large ones.
