LessProjects is a web-based project management application that sets itself apart from the competition by focusing more on getting things done than communicating with clients. Whereas other applications let users share status reports and updates with clients and outside vendors, LessProjects bills itself as a task-based system that lets users assign items that need to be done to specific team members and rank those items based on the level of importance.

For users of Google’s Gmail service, LessProjects makes signup a snap by integrating directly with the login you already use. From there, you’ll be asked to enter your company’s name to receive a unique subdomain where collaborators can find your projects. Each project is made up of “specs,” which are essentially to-do list items that can be moved between phases of the project. Each spec should be assigned a priority level, assigned to a team member, and given a status that can be changed as the task progresses.

For anyone who likes knowing where they’re at with a project at any time, LessProjects makes it easy by listing the percentage of the project that has been completed right on the main page. In addition, coworkers who wish to share advice or collaborate on a certain task can post sticky notes for others to see, much in the same way they might leave a Post-It note on the desk of a colleague. Finally, for users who juggle multiple projects at once, LessProjects lets you toggle between projects with ease, making it an essential tool for anyone looking for a more effective way to manage their task-based projects.
