Project document software provides project manager, stakeholders and project team with solutions for improving project workflow and accelerating data exchange. Project document software means better organization of projects, improved control over workflows and secure access to project data.

When you apply project document software to projects, your project team can perform tasks according to project schedule as well as plan calendar events, manage documents, organize contacts and run project workflow. Project document software allows associating project documents with tasks so you can document, comment and report tasks.

Here's a list of features that project document software delivers to you:

• Managing project documents lifecycle
• Running collaborative project design document flows
• Filtering project design documents and project initiation documents
• Commenting project documents
• Emailing documents and related tasks
• Managing information by sharing project initiation documents
• Protecting documents by setting project documents user permissions
• Reporting project documents and analyzing project design documents

To apply these features to your projects, you can use VIP Task Manager, a group collaboration and project management program. An intuitive tree directory interface of VIP Task Manager allows you to restrict access to project groups and tasks, so that only specified team members will be able to review and edit project data. Comments Panel and Notes Panel let document tasks and create project progress records.

As documents can be associated with tasks and every task has a set of statuses ('Draft', 'Punt On Hold', 'Complete', 'Cancelled' etc.), you can use VIP Task Manager to organize and manage project documents flow in which task statuses show development stages of current documents. For example, you can create a project design document or project initiation document, attach it to a task, and set 'Draft' status for this task. This document can pass through multiple stages during its lifecycle and get such statuses as 'Created', 'In Progress', 'Submitted', 'Approved', and 'Archived'. The number and titles of statuses can be customized as VIP Task Manager has a built-in workflow management tool. You can use this tool to add, edit or delete task statuses.

If you need a simple yet effective single-user program to manage your tasks and project documents, you can try VIP Organizer . This software allows attaching documents to tasks, creating categorized to-do lists and setting pop-up reminders, so you won't forget to complete an important task, submit a document and go to a meeting.
