How to Use Google Apps as a Project Manager
Google Apps, the multiuser business and organization cloud computing service offered by Google, allows for fully integrated services between users. This means you can utilize features included with Google Docs between other work users. If you are working on a project with others, the calendar function will be the most useful application to use as it means you can specify work schedules, see colleague's schedules and organize around that time.
