Thanks for your comments. As I work with Project in a box, I am impressed with what I can do with it.

I already have a pre-release copy of the new Personal version. Guy H. set me up and I will provide feedback as I work with both versions. I do need to prepare for a team scenario, not just for me.

Thanks for this which is an excellent starting point and really hitting the nail on the head. The Plan/Gantt etc is absolutely critical to the project and planning is the first steps to success…but the rest is, as we all know, a long way and usually involves loads of documentation, interaction and communication. All of which needs managing.

We developed PROJECT in a box to work alongside a planning tool to help users follow a method either off the shelf or custom developed in delivering a project/process consinstently, collecting and managing the required documents along the way.

As the products have matured we have added email integration, report creation and a range of interfaces and tools to help the PM with their day to day activiites. I’m interested to see what you think of tese as you explore further but one thing to note is that there is a change coming very soon…

You are using our single user licence version of our full server system which to be honest is pretty heavyweight for a ‘personal’ tool but behind the sceens we have been producing a commercial Personal Edition which has most of the core features of the full server system but runs as a files only portable application. This is very helpful to personal users as you can take it anywhere on a USB stick and just plug it into a host wndows PC and be off and running…great for contractors/consultants who don’t ususally don’t have admin rights to install stuff on the PC they are sat in front of.

If you want to give this new version a whirl let me know.
