Intelligent Design
Projectfork consists of many extensions working together; but the streamlined interface will make you feel right at home as if you're using a regular, single component. Installing and uninstalling Projectfork is as simple as with any extension: A single package to install, and a single extension to remove from your site.
User Experience First
Projectfork looks and behaves like your average Joomla 3 extension for the most part so you can it pick up naturally. If you ever get stuck, we provide plenty of comprehensible documentation on our website.
Developer Friendly
Projectfork uses a Joomla-native code approach wherever possible and is written "by the book" and best code practices. There is no custom theme engine, no Zend or other framework - just pure Joomla MVC architecture. Looking to hire a developer to make some modifications? No need to find a "Projectfork specialist"!

I installed the component and got it working immediately. After a few hours of use, though, I started noticing bugs popping up with the file manager portion of the component. I researched the issue on the author's website and saw others had similar issues. Despite many people having this problem, the author has not issued a statement or provided a fix. I'm glad I did not buy the pro version
I didn't like the view of version 3 but I just installed the new 4.0 version on my main site to figure out what to use for my IT Business ticket system for just the IT Techs to use to keep track of projects and basic computer repairs and this appears to be just AMAZING!!
Probably the best solution for project managing inside joomla, it required a bit of effort to integrate but it's worth it!
I've been using the free version of Projectfork for a few months now, and it's by far the best free project management tool I've ever used. The free version is already a lot better than many other commercial solutions, and there are several extension that one can buy if needed.
I have been using this tool both for commercial and private projects. I have also got very positive feedback from one of my customers (with lots of experience from previous projects with other developers) who really appreciate how they are involved in the development and are able to follow dev progress and give comments.
The only thing that I've been missing is task dependency. But for a free tool, it's just excellent!

Tobias and team, well done! There simply is no alternative that comes close to ProjectFork.
The core extension is free, what were they thinking? Free? Open Source project management doesn't get any better than that. In fact I used to be 'afraid' of project management but not any more.
It just works - installed without issue, configured in just 10 minutes, integrated into my site with Registered users in 5 minutes.
The user interface is well thought out and constructed it is logical in its simplicity.
On my site with the template I am using ProjectFork looks great with no tweaks required.
Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking of using or providing project management tools to their Joomla! site.
Thank you!

Love this extension.
Before we started using this extension, keeping track of projects and details was a nightmare.
With this extension keeping track of every detail and due dates is amazingly easy.
My only complaint about this is this the swarm of email notifications, which is a good thing, but it is easy to lose track of emails with so many coming in. I wish you could filter emails so the person who edits/creates/comments doesn't get an email about their own update.
Highly recommend!

This is a very robust project manager,I use it for the construction industry. when i used their forum to ask questions , i got a response within 24 hrs. The program is customizable. I recommend getting the bundle, not only does it support them, it adds great features. Give it try!
Have been using the free version of ProjectFork for over a year now. This is a very useful extension for a distributed work force with multiple projects. A true benefit, particularly for a Web Developer, is the ability to include any Joomla User (read customer) as a project member. Some wish list items (cons) would be the lack of task dependency, and the lack of Project Completion tracking. But for a free component it is excellent.
Hi,
We would consider Projectfork a top a component and really prominent, but no application is good without appropriate support. We have installed this app, with the hope it would help our tasks, but it has a problem making conflict with Joomla templates, and it seems we are not the only ones having this problems. We reported the problem in Projectfork forum and someone came immediately saying it would provide a quick fix, but so far nothing and it has been already more than a week without any reply..zero! Not a word! Very strange and so, we only can tell by experience that support is really bad. We’re glad we didn’t buy immediately the buddle, otherwise we would throw away $99... so we just lost $19. Maybe we were unlucky! Hope you’ll be luckier, but watch out if you consider support important as we do.
Cheers!

This is an excellent example of a very professional extension. It's available as a free version with numerous paid for enhancements.
I'm currently using the free version to enable me to collaborate on projects more effectively with an associate. We'd been emailing one another and it was getting out of hand. This extension solves that issue.
The two things I'd look for in an update are:
1. greater functionality around date filtering - extending the utility of the tool into task / time management.
2. A printable reporting system for the various viewable formats.
But as it stands, for free, it's already an exceptional extension so it gets full marks from me.

For what this FREE component offers, so far, I have to say it's amazing!!!
Add estimates and invoices options, and it would conquer the market IMHO.
I've used almost all of the paid services, and many of those don't even come close to what this component can do, right out of the box, for FREE!
Good job Developers!

I am constantly amazed at how creative these Joomla developers are. This extension takes our community event site from simple to amazing. The structure of the tool allows the event committee to worry about the event and in doing their daily tasks keeps everyone else informed.
The use of visuals and a workable consistent user interface makes training a breeze and compliance for project updates easy.
I tip my hat to the development team. Very nice product and I am still dumb founded that is free.

Great tool. Emails are sent way to often with no backend control. Has a lot of little things I'd have done differently (and plan to change). However, a great start for those who want to keep projects (especially web projects) organized. I love how I can have customers set up tasks and upload files along with deadlines. Its very very useful.
With a little more control it would be 5 stars without a doubt.

It's a great extension. Looks very promising. But, either there's an issue with the access control/permissions in the component or I still don't know how to use it. And even though, THAT is an issue because the documentation is not very elaborate. So the missing star is attributed to poor documentation.
It's good it works in iphone/ipad. Makes sellers look very pro. Thanks ProjectFork!
