Intervals is a web-based tool for project management, time tracking and task management developed by Pelago Corp. Intervals is one of the first small business productivity tools to combine time tracking and task management. This has resulted in Intervals being compared to other similar products such as Harvest and Basecamp.

History
Intervals was created in 2005 by a team of web developers in need of an online tool that would track time against tasks, and provide sufficient project management workflow. In July, 2006 Intervals was launched as a comprehensive solution for small businesses and freelancers.

Intervals was conceived by Michael Payne, a project manager certified in MS Project, and John Reeve to address the shortcomings of using MS Project in a small business environment as well as the predicted growth in Software as a service(SaaS).

Software
Intervals is built using Linux, Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL technologies. AJAX is also used to enhance performance and page loading times. Intervals allows users to create tasks, track time, manage projects, track payments and expenses, invoice clients, and run visual productivity and financial reports.

The primary focus of Intervals is to track time against tasks, and use that intelligence in the greater context of project management. Intervals enables project managers to communicate with teams and maintain client accountability.
