A good place to start an assessment of PM products is to consider the features generally offered by these programs, and see if they match your needs. The following list summarizes features available in Microsoft Project (heavily discounted for qualified nonprofits through TechSoup Stock ) and is comparable to the features offered by most leading PM programs. Project management software should improve the way things are done at work. It should get the job done, it should be something people will use and it should be something which is easy to get budget for. These are the guiding principles behind Vertabase Pro project management software. We believe in delivering powerful project management tools that are easy-to-use and that actually will be used.
There are a lot of bells and whistles in the project management toolbox that nobody ever uses and that become a graveyard for good intentions to get better organized. We avoid those distractions and concentrate on the features in our project management solution that can make a real difference in how you do your work. At the high-end are PMs managing multiple projects or operating in a mature project organization where utilization is managed across all projects and there are executives with accountability for portfolios of projects.
