Yesterday we looked at productivity plugins for your business website, one area I have been looking at a lot lately is using WordPress as a project management tool – my whole business is based around WordPress so it makes sense to use it for project management as well?
Up till now I have been using things like Basecamp to track projects and collaborate with the team working on it. I thought I would look into what WordPress can offer so today’s post is a round up of the plugins I found – I will make a follow up post later on with a full review of the plugin I chose.
Project Tasks
This WordPress plugin is a complete flexible Projekt Task Management System. It helps you take control of all tasks when developing a WordPress Theme in a team or with a client.
CollabPress
CollabPress adds project and task management functionality to WordPress. Easily create projects and assign tasks to users. Works with WordPress, Multisite, and BuddyPress.
Ndizi Project Management
Ndizi Project Management is a Project Management solution, akin to offerings like Basecamp. But it’s free and runs under WordPress.

iProject Web
iProject Web is an easy to use project management and task management software. It has a minimalistic set of features required for organizing effective project team work. It simplifies collaboration between team members and is designed for people online.
Gamatam Tasks
Gamatam Tasks tracks tasks between Worpress users, allowing users to edit the description, change the task status, change the priority and assign the task to a different user. It is not as comprehensive as most issue trackers (no work flow etc) by design, I found a lot of clients looking for something more useful than a spreadsheet or todo list, but not as complicated to use as bugzilla, trac et al.
WP Task Manager
Wp-Task-Manager is a plugin for wordpress which add a small task manager inside the administration panel. You can add task to your self or to the other contributor of the blog.

WP Project
The WordPress administrative interface is friendly and comfortable. For web designers and developers, there is no better place to spend your time. Instead of having to visit several disparate websites to manage your projects and project progress, why not do it from the WordPress interface? Well, now you can with WP-Project.

Some great plugins there Oli, most of which I hadn’t considered before so thanks for taking the tme to write that. Nice to see a fellow UK WordPress based company doing great things too :)
Hi there, Thanks – Have added your blog to my reader :)
The only one I knew of before was wp-project. The others were all new to me (which is weird, as I run a PM website for a very long time and I try to keep myself updated with the latest in PM ).
Thanks for sharing….
I’ve tried many of these in the past few weeks trying to find exactly the same thing. Â Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to find one with all the features I want. Â I’ll be very interested to hear your final decision and feedback.
I also found this one in the past:Â http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/propel/
So… which one did you choose?
Hi. Thank you for sharing the information.
Have you decided which one to use? I’m very curious to know.
Hi, Oli. Thanks very much for this excellent post. Have you finished your evaluation of them yet? I’d love to know which one you chose. Cheers! – Storm
May be you didn’t find WP Project Manager before.
