Subject:RE: Alternatives to MS Project/Project Central From:"Dick Margulis " <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 11 Jan 2002 07:59:24 -0500
Darren is right about Primavera. The company I work for makes a more generic product suited to all kinds of development projects, including software development. We use it internally to manage all aspects of our own software development, including documentation. However, this is an enterprise solution, not something a doc manager is going to buy and install for a department.
If anyone is interested in learning more about it, we are running an online discussion session next week, entitled, "A Survey Of Software Product Development Management Practices." Write to me off-list for information on signing up.
I hope, because I am not identifying a company or a product and I have no expectation of this leading to any sales, that Eric will not consider this an ad. Please? If I've crossed a line here, I apologize.
