Using Google Docs you can create your own lightweight project management tools and through simple and powerful visual management provide the people involved with shared information that will give transparency into progress and problems
Compared to most commercial project management tools using Google Docs is very flexible. That way the tools can be adapted to how the processes of the project continuously improve. And not the other way around.
The demonstration is based on more than 2 years of experience using Google Docs for Agile processes in a distributed development context.
