Do a search for “the best online project management software” and you’ll find a gazillion pages on the subject. Many of these pages are just lengthy lists of all the tools that are available on the market (usually with the odd affiliate link thrown in…) and aren’t particularly useful in helping you choose a particular tool.
So, this is my short-and-sweet recommendation.
Depending on your work environment you’re either going to be a Basecamper or a Clarizen..er
Think of Basecamp as a shared to-do list with a bunch of other useful features. If your team is highly collaborative; you regularly work on small to medium sized projects; and your environment tends towards lighter, agile practices then you’ll want to use Basecamp.
Think of Clarizen as the definitive web based Microsoft Project replacement. If your team is a little more fragmented; you work on larger, more complex projects; and your environment is process heavy or requires predictive project management then Clarizen is for you.
After trialling dozens of online PM tools I recommend you take a look at these two great options.

We use Basecamp for our web projects. Although it has its quirks its the easiest to use piece of software we’ve come across.
