SUMMARY

Any tool that can help developers to complete projects on time and within budget is worthy of consideration. "Remember The Milk" takes full advantage of the web to allow you and members of your development team to take control of tasks instead of being controlled by them.

PRICE: Free to use

GETTING STARTED: There is nothing to download. To start using "Remember The Milk" to create and manage your "to do" lists simply sign up for a free account on the web site shown below. It doesn't take long to do so and then you can start experimenting with the host of functions that have been incorporated into the software. The good news is that the software's design is intuitive so you won't have any trouble creating your first "to do" list.

SUITABLE PLATFORMS AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The "Remember The Milk" web based application can be accessed using a PC, Linux, or Macintosh computer that is running one of the following Web browsers: Firefox 1.0+; IE 6.0+; Mozilla 1.7+; Netscape 7.1+; Opera 8.0+; or Safari 1.3.1/2.0.1+.

PROS:

• It's free so that's a great start!
• Being a web-based application means that it can be accessed anywhere and anytime that you have access to the Internet and a web browser.
• The potential to dramatically improve communication by being able to share information with others in the different ways that are provided.
• All aspects of task management have been taken into account. But personally, the aspect that I have found the most useful is the ability to set up reminders. These reminders are versatile too, in that they can be set up to be email reminders, instant messenger reminders, or SMS reminders.
