• Easy Projects is great for project management. It allows you to assign users, set tasks and end dates, and keep it all together in one working file/job. It's a project manager's dream -- you can look inside and see exactly what is going on and any missed deadlines.
• Easy Projects allows good customization of the fields. We have worked it so that in a job file, we can enter info about things specific to publication design -- size, file format, delivery location, etc. And we've been able to change these further over time as our needs change.
• Easy Projects allows for archiving of completed jobs. You don't have to see them every time you log in, but it's great to be able to go back and search through completed jobs (even several years back) to see what was done last time, who was assigning, costs, etc.
• Easy Projects allows you to pull reports and export them. This has proved helpful when we needed an overall log of jobs for a client or to pull a large number of costs.

• Timing Out - when editing a story or bug, occasionally Axosoft will time out and all changes will be lost
• Viewing past sprints can be hard to locate
• Multiple users within a Story - Axosoft could do a better job managing multiple users on the same story
• User Interface isn't entirely user friendly and looks a bit outdated

• Would love to see a way to create a project plan that is user friendly with various colours
• More robust reporting that would provide easy view to budget by task by person
• Would like to view various projects in different windows without going back and forth

• Better project coordination -- everything is all in one place and all team members can see/work off the same file.
• Better job archiving -- we can look back on recurring jobs and see what was done months (or even years) previously
• Helps us collect more info up front -- due to the fields project managers need to fill out, it steps us through the process of asking our clients all the right questions to make sure we have the info the design team needs
• Negative impact is that because it is so integral to our work processes, there is a "learning curve" for new employees when they start. So we do have to spend more time training them and ensuring they are doing things correctly in the system.
• Negative impact is that because of its lack of mobile and table-friendliness, if team members are out of the office, we can't use Easy Projects. We have to rely on email and sometimes, things can get missed that way.
