Some, more groupware oriented, provide a vast spectrum, including e-mail and chatting. While developing Teamwork, we made several choices about what to include and what not. The choice for Teamwork has been guided by this simple princliple: include only what <strong>will not sharply conflict with acquired user habits<\/strong>, and will have a <strong>rich integration with the rest of the system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><em>Examples of what we did include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">&#8211; &#8220;boards&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; sticky notes<br \/>\n&#8211; to-dos<br \/>\n&#8211; a calendar<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">All these have a natural integration with project management, bringing together personal and team management. So we put them together in a unique, integrated solution; you don&#8217;t have to get three separated products from us to get this functionality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><em>Examples of what we didn&#8217;t include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">&#8211; e-mail client<br \/>\n&#8211; chat services<br \/>\n&#8211; file management<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The three integrations above are probably used by most in standard ways, and happily too: you are not going to change those user habits with the new project management software; so the work we have and are doing is to integrate with the existing applications, as smoothly as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Notice also that probably most users <em>already<\/em> have a calendar application, and others that may overlap with what we provided built-in, and for that we are working so hard in extending seamless integrability (most previous posts talk about this in fact).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:justify;\">Current and future developments<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_778\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-778\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Wikisymbols.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-778 \" title=\"Wkisymbols\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/wkisymbols.png\" alt=\"Wikipedia logo\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-778\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wikipedia logo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">This is for the actual situation; but usage of the web is evolving all the time, and more integrations are now needed: in Teamwork we always assumed that the contents and documents related to projects and work which would not be articulated in tasks, issues and to-dos would be handled by other document management software, and then somehow connected to projects (say for example with file storages). But with wiki and blogs, content is more and more inserted directly online, and we should support this also inside Teamwork. One can currently do this by simply creating custom portlets connected to a Wiki service. But as with most of our solutions, we would like something organically integrated with the rest of Teamwork functionality; for example, content editing would naturally blend with exposure of Teamwork objects to <a title=\"REST definition\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Representational_State_Transfer\" target=\"_blank\">REST<\/a> and similar services, and in-place customizations of pages. So this is one of the (non trivial) directions we are now exploring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">If there is an organic integration that we are missing, just post it on our <a title=\"Teamwork feedback\" href=\"http:\/\/feedback.twproject.com\/\" target=\"_self\">feedback service<\/a>!<\/p>\n<pre>The quoted products, services and images may be registered\ntrademarks of their producers.\nImages that require attribution are linked to their source.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some project management applications provide minimal functionality: just a Gantt drawer.
