Coming up with a name for our web-based project management service — Intervals — was a lengthy, creative exercise. We had to whittle our way through a list of do’s and don’ts to find a name that meant something, and a logo that could capture something more than the hallmarks of a fad. Here are […]

The web-based project management space offers many options for small businesses needing online help with task and time tracking. We knew this when we built Intervals, but we went ahead and built Intervals anyways. Why? Because this is an enormous space, with many different businesses and many different needs. The web-based project management space is […]

We built Intervals for two reasons. First, we need a web-based project management service to track time and tasks, as well as overall workflow. And second, we tried a few of the web-based services and, at the time, found them lacking. The feedback from our clients was so overwhelming, we had to turn Intervals into […]

There are businesses who use Intervals to comply with various industry regulations — because it tracks time, task, and project histories so well — such as […]

As a developer I work much better once I have a list of tasks in front of me. I’m also required to sit in many meetings, which conclude with me trying to distill action items from the various topics of discussion. I’ve tried notepads, which work well, but rely on me recalling conversations behind numerous, […]

From the very start, before any code was written, we decided Intervals would be a chance for us to refine our philosophy of lightweight project management; time and task tracking coupled with reporting and invoicing. We’d done the heavy lifting in the past, using microsoft project, wallpapering our office with Gantt charts, allocating resources; it […]
