Blog: Use Your Space & Conquer Office Workflow
Collaborative Software

Not only can Collaborative Software, or groupware, help run a project, it can also help organize a small business or association. I've had clients ask for advice in this area, and I've also been doing research for a new course that I'm teaching "Project Management for the Professional Organizer."

This is not an extensive list, but is some of the most popular collaborative tools on the market. Note: this list does NOT include software with traditional project management features such as Gantt Charting – I'll give you that list next week! Most are available as Software As a Service (SaaS) where it is hosted via the web and users pay a monthly fee; some are free.

Are any of them Free and Open Source Software?

Thanks for your question. I updated the blog to show which of the software packages has free options. I also added Google Docs.
