Barb, It sounds like we have the core of a requirements team, as well as a coder or two willing to help. I really would love to be part of an effort to build a good project management tool. I've got room on my web page for a requirements document. I think what we would need more than anything is a site to sponsor an email list. Any suggestions? Jim Barb wrote:
Hi there,
I'm not a member of this list but my Other Half is and he's forwarded me this discussion thread since it's a long time interest and concern of mine as a project manager. I find MS Project a completely useless, frustrating time and energy waster and I've given up on it professionally. As a survival strategy, I've had to design processes and utilise available company tools/utilities in custom combinations to replace it. This is a kludge, of course and makes ISO 9001 compliance more difficult than it should be. I'd be very interested in helping generate a requirements document and participating in the development in any way I can.
Note: I am not now and never have been a programmer. However, I've been involved in project management for a long time as well as program development from a management perspective.
