Re: Project Management Software
It actually was chartConstructor which prompted me to look into this. All I know is that it is a Cocoa app and I don't believe the author is interested in taking it cross platform. I have purchased it and like it a lot although it seems to be fairly basic in its current form. I contacted the Micro Planner folks and they are not OS X native yet but are working on it. They say they will have a release prior to support being dropped by Apple. They did not give a date but I'm assuming that could mean this January as they say that if purchased now, the OS X native version would be included as a free upgrade. They're product is very expensive so it isn't really a competitor to MS Project in the way chartConstructor might be if it was cross platform. I still think a program written in Rev that did both GANTT and PERT charts could be killer. Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't know about Micro Planner.

RE: Project Management Software (OffTopic?)
I still think a program written in Rev that did both GANTT and PERT charts could be killer. Only if it could handle the four types of float calculations, milestone slippage (preferably graphical) and resource levelling (with applicable re-analysis of the critical path). Also a client server based model would be ideal so task/resource allocation can be updated by the delegated stakeholder etc... As you'll know Project Manangement is much more than MSProject or GANTT and PERT charts. However these are vital planning and monitoring tools. Where there is a HUGE gap in the market is modelling an effective computer based communications structure around the PRINCE2 (http://www.prince2.com/whatisp2.html#intro) framework... (Prince (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured method for effective project management. It is a de facto standard used extensively by the UK Government and is widely recognised and used in the private sector, both in the UK and internationally...) ... whilst integrating those components which PRINCE2 deems to be outside its scope such as GANTT, PERT, WBS, NPV etc... A mamoth task, but what a product !

Project Management Software
I would like to find out if anyone is working on Project Management software. It is not something I'm interested in writing but would be interested in buying. There is no cross platform software which does both GANT and PERT charts that is current. FastTrack Schedule is a very nice cross platform program but it only does GANT charts. Microsoft has abandoned Project for the Mac and, of course, there isn't anything I'm aware of for Linux. I'm putting this out as a good application to be written in Revolution. I don't know enough about project management to write this myself. Bill Vlahos ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Not a real Project Management software, but a powerful PERT chart tool: Inspiration.com. With its unique change between Diagram and Outliner view and its show checklist-feature you can do great PERT charts. With brainstorming function, symbol-links, text-notes and voice recognition and a lot more features you can do more than in any other tool I know. And you have a lot of export/import features. But it has no classical GANTT chart with a calendar integration. Depends what you need. And its cross platform... regards Wolfgang M.
