Topic: feature ideas & requests / Resource/Capacity Planning

One of the features that MS Project and other similar tool do a poor job at is resource and capacity planning. I’d like to be able to see a visual representation of my booked and committed resources so that I can identify potential times where I can initiate a new project. This feature should allow me to look at resources, by project, across days, weeks, or year(s). @task, the online PM tool, have a great version of this feature in their product.

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Move Over Microsoft Project

I would agree that having access to some of the more advanced features of MS Project would make LP a more powerful, but I would very
careful not to lose ease of use in the process. eProject (now Daptiv) suffered from this issue. They did a great job incorporating a lot of advanced features, but at the end of the day (in my opinion) they created a tool that had a learning curve that scared away a lot of users that were hoping for a simpler version of MS Project.

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Requirements...

I would agree that this would be a great feature. Over the last few years, I’ve been using Gatherspace.com as a requirements gathering tool. This tool allows a project manager or business analyst to enter individual requirements and the system automatically assigns each one a number (REQ1, REQ2, etc.). These requirements could then be linked to specific use cases that would allow the PM/BA to have full traceability back to the requirement when they were testing the user cases during quality assurance.

As the head of an 8 person Project Management Office, I’m always looking for one tool that would allow me to manage all aspects of a project in one place – with a straightforward UI. I’d be happy to assist LP further on defining this feature because I believe it will be well received by a large group of your current or future users.
