Appreciated your round-up of project management solutions, and thank you for including FastTrack Schedule in that list. Should any of your readers be interested in learning more about the Windows or Mac versions of FastTrack Schedule, they can visit our website and download a free trial version.
AY ask..
Do you think WBS Chart Pro is a good tool for Project Management? Can we find a similar feature in MS Project?
WBS Pro Chart has its good features but it is still far away when compared to MS Project. I will audit the software further and put up my findings here.
Stay tuned
Hi Amin
OK i did a check and found many shortfalls of WBS Pro versus MS Project (2003 Pro). It will not be able to do Progress comparison e.g Actual Progress versus Targeted progress. It tracks in a network array of Main task and Sub tasks, which in MS Project you can display an equivalent in the Network Diagram display and then go to layout and select Top down view.
Keep to MS Project, you are safer there
I wanted to know if the newer versions of the apps won't affect the project management software itself? Say for example, my project management software is on 2003 version of ms office, what happens with docs from different computers which ran on 2007 version?
MS Project 2007 will read 2003 versions without any problems. For MS Project 2003, you will need to download a patch from Microsoft so the program can extract the 2007 data files.
I was very familiar with Microsoft Power 2007. I don't know if there were updates released on the past 5 years after establishing it as a popular project management software versions.
Yes there a few updates for the 2007 version, Microsoft calls it SR2 and SR3, you should be able to get these updates on their web pages under downloads
