Project management tool
Management by objectives and tasks
The Acollab collaborative platform has a complete project management tool.
The concept of collaborative workspaces allows you to divide your activity into as many projects as you wish and to manage user access permissions at the level of each project. A project is organized according to a two-level hierarchy:
- Objectives (or task list), which allow you to define the structure of the project.
- Tasks (grouped by objective) that have many attributes detailed below.
Main features of Acollab project management
Tasks list management
Tasks list allow the project to be divided into groups of tasks.
Task management
Each task has the following attributes:
- label and a description,
- level of priority,
- start date and end date,
- status (To do, In progress, Completed, Archived, etc…) and percentage of progress,
- milestone.
Task manager(s)
It is possible to assign each task to one or more managers. The managers will be notified as soon as an event occurs on these tasks. It is thus possible to visualize all the tasks associated with a team member.
Integrated time tracking
The platform’s time and expense tracking tool, Timecollab, allows you to track the time spent on the different tasks of your project.
Gantt chart
Gantt chart is a tool used in project management, allowing to visualize in time the tasks of the project. It allows you to graphically represent the progress of the project. This tool fulfils two objectives: to plan optimally and to communicate within the established schedule. The task start and end dates, as well as the percentage of progress, allow you to view the tasks of a project in a Gantt chart.
Comments
Each team member can leave a comment on a task, which makes it easier for participants to interact with each other for a better completion of the task.

Attached files
The ability to attach files to project tasks allows team members to quickly access documents relevant to the task, deliverables or intermediate working documents.
Task import / export
In case of similar projects, it is possible to import tasks from an other project to save time when initiating a new project.
Notifications
Email notifications can alert team members when a task is assigned to them, when a new task is created, when a task changes to a status that concerns them, etc.
Gantt Chart
The Gantt chart is a project management tool that allows you to visualize project tasks over time. It graphically represents the progress of the project. This tool serves two purposes: to plan optimally and to communicate the established schedule. The start and end dates of tasks, as well as the percentage of completion, enable you to visualize the tasks of a project in a Gantt chart.
View as a Kanban Board
The view of your project as a Kanban board allows you to visualize the progress of your project in columns! Generally, a column corresponds to a task status such as: “To Do,” “In Progress,” “Completed.” At a glance, you can identify unstarted tasks and those that are finished.
Project Template
In the case of similar projects, it is also possible to import tasks from a previous project to save time when initiating a new project. Indeed, Acollab allows you to create and save project templates that you can reuse for similar projects in the future. To do this, create a typical project that you frequently execute. Include task lists, your typical deadlines, and assigned responsibilities. Then, create a new project by importing the tasks from the template project to speed up the initiation of this new project.
Other Features of Acollab
Acollab is a collaborative platform that includes various tools: a shared calendar, a document management system (GED), a Kanban board, and more.
