We are in need of finding a Project management software package. I would certianly prefer that it would run in windows but the primary requirement is that it functions well, not that is is windows based. I have experience with MS Project. It seems to do somethings ok but has many quirks that I hate. It is also lacking quite a few capabilities that I would certainly like to see in a product. Those I can think of I will list below to see if anyone knows if their package will do them. Assign resources to a Pool as well as Individually. Meaning I can request a person by name on one task. And also select "HW Engineer" for some other task. And that same person may do both task but in the second case ANYONE assigned to that pool could. I realize this might get complex but it certainly seems like a nice feature. The ability to fractionally assign resources. MS Project allows me to assign things on a fractional basis but that is FIXED. If I want someone to do .3 of their time on a task, no problem. But if I have that person assigned to a number of tasks. One being a long one with low priority and another being a short one that will happen in the middle I don't belive it will interrupt the long even, much less assign .6 time to it. Or allow the long task to procede at full load until this .6 takes some away from it. I guess those are the main things I can think of right now. Does anyone know of a Project management program to perform these tasks?
