If you are not ready to swing into the Microsoft’s Project Management Program but still want to be able to track project tasks and time spent on them, you may want to take a quick look at their new Eclipse Manager Product. There are two versions, the free one really is just a slight step above Microsoft Planner but the Pro version adds several additional key components to make it really functional.
For just $1.99 per month you can upgrade the free version of Eclipse Manager and add the following functions:
- Track Costs - Cost tracking lets you assign values against tasks, great for projects where you will invoice.
- Offline Usage - Eclipse Core requires a constant internet connection to sync the files to the server. With Eclipse Pro you can take your computer offline and then sync the tasks when you reconnect.
- Export to Excel - Eclipse Pro lets you export your projects to Excel.
- Review - With the Review page you get to see the bigger picture view of your projects and tasks.
- Access to Reports - Eclipse Pro allows you to use the reports page to see insights into your past and current progress.
So if you are interested in finding out more about these products, you can access the Guide Page and look through the different functions by going to: http://www.eclipsemanager.com/guide
If you don't see it in your Windows 10 Start Screen, try going to the site and sign up for it and down load the app. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/top-free/apps/pc?category=Business&cid=eclipsewebsite
