Project Management Software (OffTopic?)

[Gary Rathbone]

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 !
