I have collected few premium (and not only) plugins for different services based on WordPress in my seminar yesterday on “Business 2.0 with WordPress” – http://www.slideshare.net/mpeshev/business-20-with-wordpress – and I’m still hunting more business niches based on the platform with little to none investment for a powerful platform that can handle a serious client where needed.

However the WP market has another plugin for PM that looks interesting to me – the Ndizi Project Management – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ndizi-project-management/ . From what I have seen it covers most of the functionality hidden in the other alternatives and gets a bit deeper. Unfortunately it’s in beta now, however ratings on the plugin page seem positive enough to me. The system has invoicing and interesting time tracking – something viable in my opinion.

let me know if you’ve come across a better solution. pls email me at vince (at) akiragraphics.com

has there been any movement on this concept? this idea popped into my puny skull a month ago and is hasn’t left. it seemed like the same idea popped into the wordpress collective consciousness a year ago and then fizzled out.

since 1999 we’ve built or used every imaginable project management tool out there. my reason for wanting to use wordpress as a PM tool is this: we build wordpress sites; I want my customers interacting with it from day one. that, and it’s got the foundation to make a decent PM tool.

I’ve looked in every nook and cranny on the web to find examples and implementation of wordpress for project management. there are plenty of bits and pieces. what I have not been able to find is something very critical to what we do: presentation, revisions, and approval of comps. what I do now is create a central page, like “homepage comp, rev 1″. on this page are thumbnails, linking to the attachment page where I have comments on. it works, but it’s still a manual process. as I move through the rounds, I take the old round (menu item) and drag it under a main menu listing named “project docs and archive”. the winning comp gets a page of its own. I do the same for documents, using google doc embedder to display the doc on the page.

can I get your thoughts on a smarter and more automated way of handling this? I don’t need a full-on online proofing system (yet). just something that allows for comments (easy), sign-off (a text box so they can initial is fine), and revisions (ummm). I’ve looked at editorial workflow plugins (edit flow) as examples. can ya’ll give me your thoughts?

thank you,
