SANTA BARBARA, CA. - January 8, 2009 - Intervals, the growing online project management service for small businesses and freelancers, launched several new features in the fourth quarter of this year. The new features will give customers a more comprehensive approach to managing day-to-day workflow. In addition, Intervals doubled its customer base over the second half of 2008 in the midst of a challenging economy.

The milestones feature allows Intervals users to group their tasks into scheduled deliverables and manage their day-to-day workflow. The following functionality is also included:

• Automatic alerts for upcoming and overdue milestones

• Organized deadlines and deliverables

• Reschedule project deliverables and tasks based on project changes and client delays

• Lightweight scheduling features

• More adaptive to agile development methodologies

• A calendar view of tasks, milestones, and notes

• Hover view to show important information about tasks and milestones without a click

• Drag and drop functionality to easily reschedule milestones and tasks

• Add notes for important dates or team calendar items

• Ability to customize the calendar items using filtered views

• Weekly graph for tracking billable and unbillable time

These upgrades are only a few of the ongoing enhancements being applied to the popular web-based project management service. The Intervals team is always implementing feedback from its customers in the form of bi-weekly updates. "Being a web-based service allows us to respond quickly to our customers," stated Michael Payne, the Chief Architect of Intervals. "Our customers have suggested many ideas that have found their way into Intervals. We pride ourselves on being able to give our customers what they want without turning Intervals into bloatware."

In following with Pelago's philosophies on web-based services, new features will continue to be added at no additional cost to users. And pricing plans will continue to be based on the number of projects being managed, with no penalties for creating additional users on the account. "Intervals so far exceeds any other similar products that there's just no comparison," said Dave Hime of go9media. "Intervals has allowed my small team of four to take on and manage more work while getting paid more for the work we do."
