Project Management is one of the basic and important task for a business. Many organizations, big and small were found to be using more than one tools or more than one systems to manage its project management tasks. As entrepreneurs and business folks working in the corporate world, we frequently found that for every idea or move we had, we were using the lean canvas to test and validate weather we were on the right track.
It was found though, what we ended up was not very lean, all we has was post-it notes all over the office, the office boards were messy and difficult to read and there was possibly no way to know where we were in the process.
Leantime was thus developed for small and medium businesses as a solution to all the issues. Leantime was designed to be the plug and play for any business as an efficient project management system.
