J. Peter Bruzzese has an interesting post over at InfoWorld that might be intersting to the LiquidPlanner community entitled Microsoft’s Enterprise Project suite isn’t just for the enterprise.

Here is a quote…

…Does this mean Microsoft Project is for everyone? Not quite. Many will argue that aside from the cost for infrastructure (which would be removed somewhat by the hosted solution path), there is still a valid reason to consider other solutions due to the unnecessary complexity of Project and concerns that it actually doesn’t handle projections reasonably.

We’ve met may people who feel the same way and get that single point estimates are a completly broken way to model future events. If you feel the real Project Management 2.0 wave is really about the way we model and manage projects (not just moving the old way to the web) then Jim’s post is a good place to make your voice heard.

Do More in Less Time

In addition to ongoing performance optimization, we’ve added some new features in our latest release that allow you to do more in less time…

Under the ‘add’ menu you now have the option to Add multiple tasks - up to 20 at a time. You can also duplicate any item - project or task - which is especially helpful if you have multiple similar projects and don’t want to have to recreate the structure each time you add a new one.

We’ve also made some significant changes to the user interface (UI) in this release. Options formerly located on the ‘document’ tab have been merged into the collaborate tab. The new ‘history’ tab shows all of the changes made to the item since its creation.

Under the work detail pane, scheduling options ‘promise by’, ‘delay until’, and ‘on hold’ (formerly ‘don’t schedule’), are now on a new scheduling tab.

We hope these changes all add up to a more intuitive and useful product for you. Let us know what you think at feedback@liquidplanner.com.
