Which Project Management Tool Should You Use?
Project Size is a Key Factor says Industry Leading Software Developer -- Project KickStart is one of the worlds leading project management software tools. Different factors, such as project size, are important points to consider when deciding on project management software.
(PRWEB) June 16, 2005 -- If you ever wondered which project management tool to use when organizing
information for your personal or business needs, Experience In Software,
Inc. has the answer. In 2000, the company released their innovative software
product Project KickStart (http://www.projectKickStart.com), a project
management tool targeting the needs of companies with small to medium-sized
projects. The programs ease-of-use, consideration of project sizes, and
affordable price have received high industry praise, including essential
reviews from PC Magazine and ZDNet.
When it comes to project management, Project KickStart considers
one of the most important aspects of planning software: project size. "We get many calls and e-mails from frustrated folks trying to plan an event or
product launch with Microsoft Project or another one of the larger project
management programs. We tell them that using those programs is like driving
a race car to the corner market, way too much power!" explains Roy Nierenberg, company president. Project KickStart was developed
to be user-friendly and it excels at that goal.
There are few products on the market with such versatility
and flexibility that are meant for smaller projects. According to noted
project management consultant and author, David McClure, PMP, the majority
of project environments are made up of relatively small projects involving
fewer than 20 individual resources. Typically they have durations of
less than six months (one year at the most) and a total budget of $20,000
to $1 million each. In fact, Project KickStart has been used by individuals,
professionals, and many non-profit organizations to plan everything from
weddings and church events to strategic business moves.
Experience In Software saw the need for an easy-to-use project
management tool when they began developing Project KickStart. Easy-to-use
software has been the mission of this Berkeley, California, company for
the past 22 years. Nierenberg says that up to that point, project management
tools that solved the needs of a professional project manager were thought
to be the solutions for everyone in an organization. These tools were
often introduced to companies by consultants or Information Technology
managers trying to create a one tool fits all solution.
For smaller projects, the needs for task planning and scheduling
are more basic. Experience In Software discovered that the missing success
key for planners of small projects was project-planning guidance. To
meet this need they created a Project KickStart planning interface with
the expert guidance to brainstorm and plan projects. Once tasks and resources
are assigned, a schedule is created using Project KickStart's Gantt chart.
It also has seamless integration with Microsoft Office applications.
The marketplace seems to agree with the Project KickStart
approach. It is one of the most successful project management and planning
software tools in its class. The http://www.projectKickStart.com website
lists success stories from many customers and high praises from the press.
