Let the Project Wizard guide you through a series of brainstorming questions to build goals, combat obstacles, assign tasks, reflect on similar projects, etc. so nothing is forgotten. Once you've gotten the hang of it, start from scratch, naming tasks and sub-tasks, re-arranging them with drag and drop to break your project down into manageable steps for others. You can also consult the project template library and use successful projects to make your own templates.

A page-specific Advisor is available for you on every screen. So is a Feedback button, to let us know how to make the product keep getting better.

Create task-specific and attachment-specific comment threads, reply to others' comments, and of course, create a general comment thread for the project as a whole. And don’t forget the Feedback button on every screen, so you can send comments to us.

Import contacts from Outlook, including name, email, company, title, phone, and avatar (or profile photo). This will make it faster to add people to projects because their names autofill when you start typing.

Stay on top of everything. On the Overview page for the project, see approaching tasks for the whole team or for each participant. The center column shows recent activity with completed and assigned tasks, comments from other members of the team and newly attached documents. A click takes you to the page where anything occurred. The pie-chart visually displays which portions of the project are completed, approaching, and overdue, at a glance.

Use any standard date format you like. Even international ones. Set regular days/hours, holidays, and extra work days, according to your team’s schedule. Set user permissions for each team member, as owner, editor, reader, or client. Assign tasks to as many team members as you want.

Issue reports in Excel, Word, PDF, or plain text for Tasks (cost and last comment optional); Individual Assignments; Phases, Goals, Team & Obstacles; Comments, and a Cost Report. Or, export to Project KickStart for additional export access to Microsoft Project, Outlook, or ACT.

Save time by pulling contacts from Act! into Webplanner and pushing tasks from Webplanner into Act!.
