Online project management tool LiquidPlanner has come out this week with a complete makeover for its latest v3. The goal was to motivate users to actually have fun while managing their workflows. The company took design elements from Facebook and iOS and redid their entire user interface, adding the ability to drag and drop entire projects to reorder them and easily create to-do lists. You can quickly zoom in to a particular project element to focus exactly on what you care about and create templates to make it easier to get started with new projects. They also came up with a new dashboard and better search algorithms.
This is a crowded field (Basecamp is one we use internally at RWW) and we’ve written about others in this market such as Mavenlink, Wedoist, and Clarizen, just to name a few.
LiquidPlanner launched in June 2008 and is now deployed by more than 600 organizations, typically by teams with 10-50 users. Various pricing plans are available, starting at $29/seat/month.
