Projecturf brandishes unlimited project management storage

Projecturf is jumping into the project management fray, sporting unlimited storage, collaboration and communication tracking, and the aim of providing the speediest project capabilities out there.

Projecturf is geared toward Web developers, including .NET, PHP and Ruby developers, as well as Web application developers. According to company executives, developers using Projecturf can set up a project team and create tasks in minutes.

Chuck Pearson, CEO of Projecturf, said the main feature that makes Projecturf a more compelling project manager for developers is unlimited storage, as there are no restrictions on the number of files a user can upload.

Projecturf purchases storage offerings from managed hosting provider Rackspace at reasonable prices to offer such capabilities, according to Pearson.

“Storage nowadays is sort of an inexpensive thing, and in our mind not that big of an issue,” he said. “It’s been something I think a lot of competitors have used to increase prices.”

Pearson said developers can enter the URL of the IDE they’re most comfortable using. By linking the IDE with the Web-based Projecturf, developers can log progress of the tasks being carried out.

“If I’m a developer working on a website, I’d be able to put the direct Web addresses for those environments into Projecturf so that all staff and clients and whoever needs to review things would be able to log progress and keep a long history of exactly where they are in development,” Pearson said.

Another feature that Pearson talked about was automatically generated Gantt charts in Projecturf’s Tools section when tasks are created. Projecturf also has a project completion report that gives a percentage of how much of a project is complete at any given point.

There is a discussion forum within the project manager that logs discussion comments, which Pearson said is helpful when developers are working on multiple projects. Projecturf will send out an e-mail notification to all team members when a new comment is posted in the forum.

“The nice thing about that is that you might be working on projects that take you months to get finished, and you’re working on a lot of them at one time, so it’s keeping track of all communication,” Pearson said.
