Teamwork (project management)

Peter Coppinger and Dan Mackey founded a company, Digital Crew, in 2007. This company built websites, intranets and custom web-based solutions for clients in Cork, Ireland. Frustrated by whiteboards and software management tools, Coppinger wanted a software system that would help manage client projects and which would be easy-to-use and generic enough to be used by different types of companies. Originally 37signals Basecamp users themselves, Coppinger and Mackey were frustrated by the limited feature set, and by Basecamp's apparent inaction on their feedback.{{cite web|publisher =DomainSherpa | website = domainsherpa.com | title = Interview with Peter Coppinger 6 March 2017|url=https://www.domainsherpa.com/peter-coppinger-teamwork-interview/}}{{cite web|title=Why we moved from Basecamp to TeamworkPM|website = foliovision.com| url=https://foliovision.com/2013/04/basecamp-v-teamworkpm}} In October 2007, Coppinger and Mackey launched Teamwork Project Manager, nicknamed TeamworkPM. In March 2015, this was renamed as Teamwork Projects.{{cite web|title = Teamwork Introduces New Products Desk and Chat | website=Project-Management.com|url=http://project-management.com/teamwork-introduces-new-products-desk-and-chat/}}

In 2014, after two years of negotiations, TeamworkPM bought the domain name 'Teamwork.com' for US$675,000 (€500,000).{{cite web|title=Irish software company buys Teamwork.com domain for US$675,000 | work = Silicon Republic|url=https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/2014/01/22/irish-software-company-buys-teamwork-com-domain-for-us675000}} At the time this was one of the most expensive domain name purchases by an Irish company, and involved the transfer of a domain name which had been dormant since it was first acquired by the original owner in 1999.{{Cite web|url=https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/2014/01/22/irish-software-company-buys-teamwork-com-domain-for-us675000|title=Irish software company buys Teamwork.com domain for US$675,000 - Enterprise {{!}} siliconrepublic.com - Ireland's Technology News Service|last=Kennedy|first=John|date=2014-01-22|website=Silicon Republic|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-05-23}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/cork-based-company-teamwork-com-set-for-rapid-expansion-1.2238572|title=Cork-based company Teamwork.com set for rapid expansion|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en-US|access-date=2016-05-23}}
