Teamweek (virtual resource management tool) is an online project management tool, especially useful for time-sensitive and calendar-based projects.[1] It enables easy planning of resources according to specific project tasks in a calendar timeline, providing the user with a visual overview of a project.[2]
The possibilities include easy coordination of task and resource allocation among team members, enabling an optimised resource use and time scheduling. Each task can be assigned to a specific resource (team member) on a specific date in the calendar, providing the team members with a very visual overview of the project period. Due to the specifications, Teamweek is an excellent tool for coordination and task allocations within semester projects (project conducted by 4-7 students during a semester term) or a bachelor/master thesis if made in collaboration, where a structured process is key. Though still applicable for multiple other project types.
Teamweek is a result of the Internet of Things era the society currently is exploring, where everything is to be available online and so is the population.[3] Following the development from planning on hard copies to desktop programs ending, currently, in online project management.

Big Idea
Teamweek is based on an online calendar, in which each member of the given project has a row for assigned tasks throughout the project period. Each task can be customised with a colour, description, duration time, and daily workhour estimates. Finally, when a task is marked done, the design of the task is changed indicating that the task is no longer active.[2]
