Review: 5pm

June 2, 2010

5pm is web-based, on demand project management software.  It looks lovely and the user interface is intuitive.  It’s very easy to get going and the help feature is good if you get stuck (they have videos and a blog which covers new features and useful info like downtime). The main downside I could see is [...]

Intelligent Planning: interview with Vanessa Carpenter

May 12, 2010

Putting together a project schedule is all well and good, but it only really comes to life when you add in people.  After all, you can’t have your number one resource doing too many things at once.  And how many times have you mentally pencilled in a task only to find out that the person [...]

Points of view: an interview with Bob Light

March 29, 2010

There’s a relatively new software tool on the market – a tool which had it’s funding pulled after failing to make it big in 6 years, and was rescued from the rubbish bin by someone with practically no project management knowledge.  Sounds like a disaster?  Actually, Bob Light sounds like just the kind of person [...]

Fixed Date Feb & ThePlanIs.com

February 3, 2010

There are some project dates that you just can’t move.  For example, my first attempt at knitting baby clothes for a friend’s newborn.  I couldn’t say to her to hang on a bit because the jumper wasn’t ready.  It had to be wrapped and ready to go the moment I got the text to announce [...]

Projec.to: it’s magic!

January 11, 2010

I get contacted often by people asking me to write project management software reviews, and I am really bad at getting round to it.  A book sits on my desk until I have reviewed it – a constant reminder that I have reading to do, but software… it’s just an email with a link buried [...]

The phone connection cuts out and I’m left listening to nothing.  Over in Canada Christophe Borlat, General Manager of Genius Inside, is also holding a dead phone.  No matter.  We’re on a web conference, so he types on his screen and I can read the new plan:  forgot phone lines, let’s talk on Skype.  A [...]
