Project Management
Teamwork
Client work and project management.
What it is
Teamwork is project management aimed at client services, with billing, time tracking and client access built in. Client access, billable time and invoicing are built in, which is exactly what an agency needs and what generic trackers make you bolt on. For an internal product team most of that machinery is unused weight.
