Do you work in Projects? You might already know about Projectplace, a useful online service (per per use) for project planning, structuring, communication and document collaboration. There are different editions of the service that simplify project management in everything from single projects to the company's entire project portfolio. I have personally used Projectplace in a project during the Autumn and can highly recommend the tool! Everyone - whether in house or from an external partner - had access to all the information they needed.
Now for my actual tip: if you are a Projectplace user and have an iPhone you can enjoy the service straight to your iPhone through the Projectplace iPhone app (free, the link will open iTunes). Unfortunately, I don't have an ongoing project to show screen shots from, so I took some from my old project and borrowed some screen shots to give you a picture of the app.
In other words, you get access to all your project documentation - straight in your iPhone. This can be invaluable when it comes to accessing your information and being able to make quick decisions. Opening ordinary MS Office files is a diddle and you get a special view for your latest documents. I miss having a view for all the documents - but you can get that by just entering a space in the search box and then search.
It's really easy to communicate with the project members through the Projectplace app - there are functions for commenting, guest books, push notifications, chat and you can of course call them as well. I highly recommend the Projectplace app if you want to take control of your project straight through your iPhone!
