All of a sudden it seems that we are rolling out new services left right and center. The latest offer from Glass Obelisk is a hosted, online project management and organisation tool called Gosplan.

For those not familiar with the origins of the word, ‘Gosplan’ it is the abreviation of Gosudarstvennyi Komitet po Planirovaniyu a mouthful to be sure. Gosplan was an organisation dedicated to rolling out five year plans for the USSR. In a centrally planned economy these targets dictated the production aims and distribution of resources throughout the economy.

The link then for our offering is quite clear. The service is designed to help you organise, plan and coordinate projects and tasks. Whether that be just personally for yourself, or within an organisation, Gosplan is designed to help you maximise your time.

We have been using the service for a while internally. It helps us coordinate projects between staff members, and assign tasks which can be chalked-off when completed.

I will keep this teaser announcement brief, more information will follow and the site itself is going to be getting some major additions over the coming weeks. For more information about Gosplan, visit its website.
