Don't take PC Magazine's (early in our development we achieved a five star rating) or our word for it, read a professional project manager and reviewer's observations and with the free demo make your own decision:
"First as a project manager, and most recently as a project management consultant, I have often recognized the limitations of traditional project management software in some project environments. Project management software packages are designed to plan and schedule a series of activities required to be accomplished in some relatively fixed order in relation to each other. They focus on determining the critical path and the shortest path through the project, which allows all of the activities to be completed. They are generally powerful, often necessary allies when confronted with a large project involving perhaps several hundreds or even thousands of activities which draw on a large number of often interrelated and limited pools of resources to accomplish the tasks. The class of software termed "project management software" is, in reality, project scheduling software which uses often complicated mathematical algorithms to redistribute resources and rearrange activities in order to make the most effective and efficient use of a limited set of resources to complete a project within a specified time and budget.
However, there are huge numbers of projects which fall into a different category. This category includes small, low budget or short-duration projects which are neither mission critical nor high risk. The majority of these projects do not have the budget, management resources or time to enter data into or use a full blown project management system. These projects may not involve interdependent activities or interrelated resources. They do, however, need management attention to stay on schedule and within budget while delivering the required scope and quality.
In fact, the majority of project environments are made up of relatively small projects involving fewer than 20 individual (usually human) resources. They typically have a duration of less than six months (one year at the most) and a total budget of $20,000 to $1 million each. They are not high risk, mission critical or in a key result area of the organization's strategic plan. These small projects are often discontinuous and involve several points in time where all work must cease while something is reviewed, money is raised or approved for release to the budget, or another entity develops some piece of the project required before the remainder of the work can continue. The environment which I will call "small project" is also normally one where many small projects are being done at the same time. Often, some of the projects are on hold, but they still require monitoring and management at some level. This is an environment where ManagePro excels..."
It's Priceless
"To have a software application that integrates everything from strategic planning to project management and something that will remind me to talk to the people I work with, for and who work for me is... priceless."
It's Indispensable
"I have found ManagePro to be indispensable as the means of managing... strategic issues and small as well as large, complex projects from early conception through to closure and handover. The strength of ManagePro is its flexibility to permit the user to structure the user interface to suit the way he/she works."
It helps you and others stay on course
"I've used ManagePro for 7-8 years. Like others, I was looking for a solution to the problem of establishing strategic and tactical goals, and managing multiple projects... With ManagePro I have been able to track all of our projects, develop and implement strategic plans, and ensure that the plans are in scope and on course."
