Tasks are undoubtedly the focal point in Project Management. However all projects still revolve around countless meetings, briefings and other events. Today, more often than not, people rely on individual calendars to manage their time, which differ by platform and features even. Although compatibility and integration capabilities are greatly improved, we still end up shuffling between multiple desktop/web-based/mobile calendars.

Hence the inclusion of a powerful calendaring and scheduling engine in Deskera. Each project has its dedicated calendar(s), all events are shared among team members. No more sending countless invitation emails, waiting for RSVPs, etc.

Let me show you how simple and effective it is to use Deskera’s calendar:

• Creating New Calendars:

  • Multiple calendars can be created and project events can be classified by their nature for efficient organization.
  • Color coding of calendars helps you to identify the events at a glance when you overlay calendars.
