Hi everyone, Regarding the research project management tool, I just discovered the app called TRELLO. A colleague of mine used this app to coordinate a team in a project. It was very successful and easy!

It is a web-based project management tool that is pretty easy to learn. There are also applications for iPhone and Android. It has very full functionality for the types of coordination you describe (assigning tasks to users, setting deadlines, commenting back and forth on task progress, adding attachments (via Google Drive or Dropbox), and more), and there is a robust guide available for help. Individuals on your team would create accounts and join your "Workspace" (for a group of people working on the same projects and tasks without the same institutional email addresses). For a large team (>15) you will have to purchase a premium service, but it's only $8.33 per month and allows unlimited users. I have used it while running a summer science camp with a co-director and I use it currently to keep track of almost everything I do as a grad student. I highly recommend it. https://*asana*.com Toby -Toby On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 3:08 AM, Martin Koechy <b-li...@martinkoechy.de> wrote: > Hi Greg, > > if anyone has a close-to-ideal solution I would be happy to learn about it. > > I have tried several web-based project management systems for a larger > project but found them to be either inflexible, complex/time-consuming to > learn (for busy PIs), expensive, or conflicting with various institutional > data security policies and restrictions.
