Barvas
Barvas is a project management software that aims to provide an all-in-one solution for any task from start to finish. It does this by incorporating multiple features that are useful to teams but typically found in separate packages: mind mapping, chat, task management and scheduling. Barvas allows its users to work together to define a project's goals, create a plan of action, schedule specific tasks, and watch as things progress. Barvas places special emphasis on the development stage between planning and delivery. They believe that a failure to communicate and understand key requirements is ultimately what leads many projects to fail. To remedy this, Barvas both encourages and provides a platform for its users to plan scrupulously until no detail escapes notice.

Barvas is one of those rare pieces of software that is both suitable and affordable for individuals and businesses alike. Whether you are a freelancer or a multi-location business, Barvas provides a seamless way to carry your ideas along through a project from start to finish. Freelancers should keep in mind, however, that one of Barvas' biggest strengths is that it allows a project manager to easily keep track of the work has been done on a project. Without a team, Barvas loses a lot of its luster.
