Free project tracking software

#1 Project Management Tracking Tool

Looking for the best free project tracking software? Meet Bitrix24, one of the world’s most popular free project management platforms available in 18 languages and used by over 6 million organizations in 187 countries.

What’s ‘Project Tracking’ anyway? Chances are you want to track your project progress, but what’s progress? What makes Bitrix24 great is that our project management software allows you to track virtually EVERY aspect of your project, not just ‘progress’.

1. Time tracking

Bitrix24 is capable of tracking time for each task and each project you are currently involved in. Project time tracking is absolutely a must!

2. Workload tracking

Bitrix24 tracks how much time was spent by each user involved in a task or a project. This is great if you bill by the hour and hourly rates for your employees or subcontractor vary. Bitrix24 is one of the very few solutions that comes with both project workload planning and project workload tracking (how many work hours were planned for the project and how many were actually spent).

3. Expense tracking / budget tracking

There’s a special app that tracks expenses that were incurred by your users as a part of working on a project. You don’t need to have a separate project budget tracking solution when you use Bitrix24.

4. Progress tracking

Product progress tracking in Bitrix24 can be visualized via burnup charts, which is very convenient

5. Deadline tracking

There are two ways to do project deadline tracking in Bitrix24. In addition to deadline view, Gantt charts are available for every project in your Bitrix24 account.

We could go on, because Bitrix24 can track just about everything for your projects, including bug tracking, issue tracking or client tracking, but it’s just easier to register a free Bitrix24 account and check it out for yourself.

Task management

Project management starts with tasks and in Bitrix24 tasks come in different shapes and sizes. Personal tasks, group tasks, sub tasks, repeating tasks, task templates and so on. Tasks and sub tasks are unlimited and you can delegate them to another person, if necessary. Checklists and workflow automation guarantee that nothing will be overlooked or forgotten.

Project management

Projects in Bitrix24 are unlimited, come with Gantt charts and employee workload planning, which lets you allocate specific number of hours and employees to a project and track time spent on it. There are different roles in Bitrix24 when it comes to projects, as you may control task set by you, assist someone or simply be an observer for a task that you neither set, nor is responsible for completing. Task counters show your project progress and if you are in danger of falling behind the deadline.

Project collaboration

Projects involve many people and you need collaboration tools that work for your co-workers and external users, such as clients or contactors, alike. Sometimes you need to hold online meeting or a workgroup discussion or reach someone who's available only via mobile phone. Bitrix24 does all that and more. No other project management vendor offers you as many social collaboration tools as we do. Your own private social network, employee directory, activity stream, comments, likes, tags, mentions - if you want it, we've got it.

Time tracking

Don't you hate when project management vendors don't include time tracking tools into their solutions as if time doesn't matter? We certainly do. That's we've added an option to track time spent on each task, mandatory clock-in and clock-out, if necessary, flexible workday settings, daily todos, time reporting and other time management tools. Oh, and don't forget about personal, group and shared calendars that are available to you free of charge.

Document management

Do your projects involve lots and lots of files and documents? You'll love Bitrix24, because our document management module comes with file sharing, cross-device document synchronization, online and offline editing options, versioning, and even your own file server, called Bitrix24.Drive.

Bitrix24 manuals are available at training.bitrix24.com. We also have a great YouTube channel that covers every aspect of Bitrix24 apps, from sales to planning to communications to document management. To download self hosted editions of Bitrix24 that can be installed on your own server and come with open source code access, please visit Bitrix24 Self Hosted page.
