ActionThis

ActionThis is an extremely easy task management tool that helps you increase productivity and eliminate wasted efforts. As the developers emphasize “unlike other project management and collaboration applications, ActionThis focuses on execution – helping you and your team track and manage tasks through to completion”. Thus, though the opponents of using OPMTs argue that people just spend (waste) extra time with such kind of services, this point of view can hardly be considered as a relevant one as far as ActionThis is concerned. At the same time there are some really important things that are missed, however we will talk about them a little bit later. For now let’s check the screenshots, so you can see the way this tool looks and works.

Here is the Dashboard with Task List:

As you can see the Dashboard consists of 6 different panels, so you can check everything you need. Despite the fact that it looks nice, given page can hardly be considered as a really informative one.

Here is the Detailed View of a Task:

This page provides all the information about the task. Moreover there is an opportunity to leave comments if you want to. Although you can’t see it on the screenshot, at the very bottom of this page the full list of subtasks (if there are any) is displayed.

The last thing we are going to check is Project Overview page:

The nice feature of this page consists in the fact that you can see the way tasks are organized (tasks with subtasks and etc.). Unfortunately there is no way to check it anywhere else, even Dashboard does not provide this information. Thus given feature mainly is the most important reason why you will need to check this page quite frequently.

Main characteristic features:

• Simplicity and intuitiveness
• Opportunity to create and manage action items alongside your Outlook email messages
• Unlimited storage for premium members
• Secure SSL encryption
• Opportunity to export ActionThis projects to Excel for further analysis and etc.

Pros and cons:

+ nice looking and easy-to-use tool
+ opportunity to create subtasks (as many as you want)
+ commenting on tasks and subtasks
+ description for project, tasks and subtasks
+ customizable detailed reports
