Tasks Lists and Tasks |

Task Dependency |
|
Task Dependency view helps the project team to get bird's eye view of dependent tasks with details like,
- Who are responsible for the tasks
- What tasks are dependent on each other
- When these tasks need to completed
Also dependency view links tasks so that the dependent tasks are automatically adjusted when a top task is rescheduled.

Milestones for a project |
|
|
Milestones can be used to group tasks together and quickly evaluate how close the project deliverable is to completion. With Milestones you can have a full control of what members are doing, how it is progressing and get a clear picture of key deliverables of a project.
Zoho Projects categorizes milestones as upcoming, overdue and completed so it is easier for you to have a quick look at what's going on in your projects.

Meetings |

Schedule team meetings, gather notes, post slides and manage all important meetings of a project from a central location using Zoho Projects. If you miss any important meeting don't worry you can see past meetings which lists details of meeting like presentations, gathered notes and everything that happened during the course of a meeting.
With this you can keep yourself up-to-date on the latest events even if you were not there.

Collaborate to get projects done
The real work begins once you finished planning our project. Now the good news: Zoho Projects is here to make your life easier. Through our set of collaborative tools, it is easier than ever to get the entire team on the same page.
You can centrally post and share files, create a project "intranet" with the built-in Wiki, hold a discussion board and much more.
Project Stream |

The Project Stream gives you a quick overview of the latest activities happening around your project.
For example - have any tasks been completed or opened? Did anyone start a new conversation?
You can also get a view of the status messages of your fellow project members, so it's easy to see what everyone is working on.

Document Sharing |

The Documents area provides a centralized area where you can store and organize in different folders your project documents. And, because Zoho Projects is integrated with Zoho Office, you can quickly create documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly on your browser, without having to install (or pay for!) any additional software.
You can of course still upload your Microsoft Office, Open Office, Star Office, AutoCad, Photoshop, ZIP files and any other kind of document that you might need for your project.

Forum Discussions |
 |
The project forums are interactive message boards where you can put a topic up for discussion and let ideas flow back and forth. Unlike emails, all the forum topics are available at a central location and is easily accessible by anyone involved in the group project.
By exchanging information with colleagues can make big ideas come alive.

Project Wiki |
 |
Wikis offer a simple and quick way for anyone to create web pages and publish them for anyone to see. With a Wiki, you can for example, create an "intranet" for your projects. Zoho Projects offers an integrated, effective wiki interface for your projects with seamless navigation.
With the integrated project wiki you can create, add pages, share and collaborate, organize and manage your project related content like documents, spreadsheets, presentations, embed YouTube video clips in a single place.
|
Online Group Chat |
 |
The always-on built-in chat room allows everyone on the project to quickly come together to discuss important topics and make decision faster. Best of all, it runs entirely on your browser so there's no need to install anything, no need to know all of your fellow project members AOL or MSN ids and most importantly, the transcript always stays there, so you can refer back to the decisions that were made.
By default, there is one chat room where all the participants can take part, but you can create other chat rooms to keep different conversations separate.
