Seamless Project Management Integration for Act! users

CRM Powered Project Management takes the Labor out of Collaboration

Act! users excel in organization and task-oriented planning, but they don’t typically identify as “project managers.” This term often implies advanced training, certifications, and complex concepts like Gantt charts and critical paths. However, most projects are straightforward, involving goals, tasks, and people. Plans are created with clients, tasks are assigned, and collaboration ensures completion. Act! users approach projects by starting with the contact, then planning, and breaking it down into delegated tasks. This is precisely how Link2projects is designed. See the workflow below.

Link2projects features a user-friendly interface that guides you through a simple wizard to create your project:
  1. Select the contact(s): Use the search tool to find contacts from your database by contact, company, or email domain.
  2. Select users: Choose the Act! users from your team for task assignments, and delegate accordingly. Standard edition allows delegation of Contacts, and Team Edition allows users, as well.
  3. Organize the project in Act!: Link2projects creates an Opportunity in Act! where all tasks, participants, and contacts are organized. Progress is tracked under the Opportunity, with comments and task updates recorded as notes and histories in Act!.
  4. Task updates: Contacts get assigned a personalized link where they can post comments and clear tasks. Act! users in Team edition are assigned a personalized project session allowing them to comment, update, clear, and reschedule tasks. Act! user updates are written to the project and Act!, while Contact changes are written to the project, and queued for the Planner to commit to Act!.
  1. Project tracking: Project organizers can monitor team progress, add phases and tasks as needed, and use various project themes for better organization. They can also import from past projects or templates.
  2. Accountability: Share the project with Contacts through an online link for progress reviews. Act! users that are participants will see project updates through their shared session, and the Act! users who are not participants can check the linked Opportunity for progress reports and see the project activity history and completion percentage.
  3. Project management tools: Link2projects offers PM tools such as Gantt charts, goals, obstacles, reporting, and dashboards for Agile & Waterfall, all tailored for Act! users.

Link2projects simplifies project management for Act! users while providing essential project management tools.
