Show HN: Project management and collaboration app for agencies

8 points by bendtheblock 15y ago ↗ HN

This is an app to easily manage a workload of multiple projects and to ease collaboration between teams.

We built it on weekends whilst running our agency and it’s still very much in development.

I’m posting it because I’m interested on what HNers think we should focus on next:

* A ‘client view’ of each project?

* Project level permissions to allow freelancers to access particular projects?

* Estimates vs Actuals – see how they compare and use this data to predict future delivery times.

Much appreciated!

As a developer who's worked at an agency for a few years, I think this is a good start.

Considering that an agency's business model is basically just selling time, I would focus on estimates and scheduling resources.

Thanks Brett. I think that's a good point about agencies just selling time. The area of estimation, or at least measuring the accuracy of estimation, is something that a quite a lot of our beta testers have flagged up as something they'd like to see in the product.

I like it I'd love it if it had git integration

We considered making it development specific but most of the interest has come from a more general audience.

How would this work? You'd reference deliverables in individual commits? And maybe add time in the commit too? E.g:

git commit -a -m "Added delete confirmation [t:20]"

Would add 20 minutes to a matching deliverable name (the project would be derived from the repo).
