Case Study: Sherpa Design Co achieves 75% faster project management and peace of mind with ActiveCollab

From Nightmare to Peace of Mind With ActiveCollab

Sherpa Design Co., run by freelance web designer and developer Andrew Folts, was struggling with a large website project that had spiraled out of control due to numerous client revisions and a patchwork of Word docs, emails, and memory. To regain control, Sherpa Design Co. adopted ActiveCollab, using its project management features to plan and organize everything from information-gathering and project templates to call notes and post-project debriefs.

Using ActiveCollab’s templates, tasks with due dates, assignees, status labels and file attachments, Sherpa Design Co. standardized workflows, captured lessons learned, and prevented repeat mistakes by copying debrief items into company processes. The result: ActiveCollab cut Andrew’s project-management overhead by about 75% in the first month, rescued a failing project midstream, and delivered measurable time savings and greater confidence in task completion.
