To collaborate online, the company depends on group software like chat, wikis, Basecamp for project management, and PlanHQ for business planning tools that were clunky, expensive, or nonexistent just a few years ago.

We like using PlanHQ because it is not a project management tool.  It is an action management tool and it focuses on helping your organization build your plan around you most important goals rather than a random list of to do items.

"A living, breathing wiki that captures and manages the elements that make up a strategic plan."

"It’s proving to be a useful tool for keeping the executive teams of startups focused on their primary goals"

"Guides start-up entrepreneurs through the planning process, asking about important topics..."

"PlanHQ can be a helpful way to visualize where you want your business to go and to keep on top of your goals"

"I love the way PlanHQ gives the staid business plan a dynamic jolt, turning it into an active document that adjusts to changing circumstances."

"The advantage of working in PlanHQ is that you can co-opt other members of your team, organizing the scheduled goals and sub-actions around different individuals."

"The company allows for a Web 2.0 platform for employees, advisers and investors to get updates on the business plan and projects."

"Takes what is often a static text document or spreadsheet, and turns it into a tool that can be used well beyond the planning stage"

"It's greatest benefit is how it challenges you to think through and answer for the whole business picture of your venture"

"PlanHQ is sort of a paint-by-numbers process, which makes it an especially useful resource for people interested in starting a business"

"An application which I’m personally excited about, is designed to help you and your team create and maintain your company’s business plan."

"I am not a big fan of formal business plans, because by the time the ink dries there are usually changes. This product is the solution to that issue."

"It's the forefront of new business"

"Plan HQ is an amazing tool for success, it provides a framework to build your business"

"Specifically for groups working on business plans."

"If you are looking to develop a business plan and you are collaborating with others, then PlanHQ may be a solution for you."
