From first enquiry to final invoice, Sparky Projects runs the whole trip.

Sparky Projects overview

Projects & Clients

Fixed-price tracks a budget. Time & material and retainer track an hourly rate or a monthly hour allowance. Every project carries its own currency, and reports roll everything back up to your organization's base currency.

Milestones

Dated checkpoints with no assignee or time tracking, contract sign-off, phase gate, launch date. Free on every tier.

Tasks & Time

Kanban Board

To Do / In Progress / Done, org-customizable statuses, priority, and a dual-purpose estimate field, story points for Agile, hours or days for Waterfall/PMP.

Task Dependencies
