Kiwi Manager
Friday, May 30th, 2008Kiwi Manager is an online project management tool available hosted or self-hosted. It appears to be designed for graphic/marketing agencies. Features within projects are: document management, approvals, forum, mockup, task manager and tickets.
From the word go the system confused me. It opens to the projects page, where there are a list of ongoing projects and in tabs the projects at different stages of development. I was lost for a bit… Once I worked out how to get into a project the various features were laid out in tabs (standard layout that works well.) I first played around with the document management feature. It took me nearly five minutes to work out how to add a new file/folder. The system isn’t very intuitive. In addition, the system is too techy. Eg. Folder and file names cannot have spaces, when uploading documents you are asked if you wish to place them in root, file directory, etc. I stopped testing at this point as I could see myself fielding too many calls from confused users…next!
