Latest Projects 2.0 has one more polished facet to its product service - The collaborative chat. It helps in collaboration within project members and also in making decisions faster.

For Ex : We had discussed in chat for positioning of a link and finalized it iteratively using chat messages between our usability guy and technical team. Boy ! the final outcome after collaborative chat were more more intuitive and web2.0ish than the first cut done by the usability guy.

The collaborative chat took for 15 to 20 minutes and after the iteration the output was awesome.

In traditional way the usability guy would have forwarded the screenshot to team members through mail, some may give feedbacks and some may not. And also the time delay in getting the response/feedback for others is huge.

Using collaborative chat the decision can be taken within 5 to 10 minutes of collaborative discussion. The usability guy attaches the screenshot to the chat and asks for the feedback, the technical team would respond promptly and get things finalised swiftly.

You can chat topics and participants in each. Archive a chat after it is over. You can use the chat toolbar for effective messaging.

Explore the collaborative chat in Zoho Projects and get things done collaboratively faster.

 Zoho Projects = BLISS, a blog review on Zoho Apps by Fadil.

 Zoho Projects includes features which help me better control project resources. It does allow collaboration. It allows me to import Microsoft Project Files which is a plus. It can generate gantt charts. W007! Sadly enough, it does not sport NAD (Network Activity Diagrams) features. Still, it’s a very good online application.
