Http://contentcube.com is a great site to support the file management, sharing and presentation aspect of project management. It is built for designers and focus on the professional image formats they use like PSD, AI, EPS, PDF,etc. Very visual interface and dead simple to use. Can be used in complement to many project management work-flow tools.

Another project management software worth looking into for your homework assignment is Intervals. It’s a web-based tool built by and for web designers, developers and freelancers. There is a free plan and you can use it to track time, tasks and projects.

Dan,

Thanks for your input. I don’t think I explained the “hourly wage effect” fully and went back and revised it a bit.

I agree that sometimes we get caught not charging for all the hours worked. As the saying goes, poop happens so the next time you learn to figure those into the estimate.

Cheers,
Johnny

I’ve never known someone who was self employed to base their goals of the day on the amount of hours that they work instead of tasks that needed to be done. That seems peculiar, indeed.
I fall into the trap of not charging for all of the hours involved. Tasks like research that took a little longer than I expected, or simple software glitches that caused minor delays.
Thanks Johnny!
