communication. Project KickStart provides real-time reports and information
to keep you and your team informed. Choose reports for each phase of
your project: including project planning, project management, and advanced
Gantt chart reports to keep you informed of the latest project assignments,
status, schedule and more. If your reporting or analysis needs can be
better served by another software application that you use, we provide
exports to the following: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook,
Microsoft Project, ACT!, MindManager, and WBS Chart.
