1656.0. "Project Management" by ANT::SMCAFEE (Steve McAfee) Fri Sep 02 1988 16:59

    Anyone know of any project scheduling software for the Amiga?
    Preferrably mouse/graphic oriented.

    If not, maybe someone would like to write something :-)

1656.1	not yet...	LEDS::ACCIARDI	Heisenberg may have slept here	`Fri Sep 02 1988 17:26`	19
	I once tried LogisTix, but it stunk, so I returned it. It actually used spreadsheet cells to represent tasks and milestones. Once a critical path was identified, the cells would animate and scroll through the critical path. It worked, but what a royal pain to understand and setup. By comparison, I sat down and was using MacProject within 5 minutes without even cracking the manual. Grrr... Almost makes me want to buy a Mac... almost. Lionheart Software has little ads for PERT stuff in AmigaWorld. I once called them and tried to get a description of the software, but wasn't very impressed with the answers I got. No Intuition interface, ASCII based graphics, etc... Grrrr.. Ed.
1656.2	Gant	MTWAIN::MACDONALD	WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25	`Wed Sep 07 1988 15:18`	2
	There is a public domain Gant chart program out there. Don't remember what BBS I saw it on. But there is one.
1656.3	Anything new?	CADSE::CARR	Asleep at the mouse	`Mon Sep 24 1990 01:09`	10
	Since 2 years have gone by since the last reply, has anything shown up on the market in that time for project planning on the Amiga? I'll be doing lots of this in my new position and wouldn't mind using something decent at home. I've played around with AmiGantt on FF248 - it's ok as far as PD s/w goes, but I'd like something a bit more professional. (I've crashed my system a number of times while using it). Otherwise, I guess I'll have to sit down in front of one of the Macs here in the dept. and start playing around with MacProject. -Dom

	Run MacProject on your Amiga with a AMAX ? Seriously, it would be nice if there was professional project planner for the Ami, but... Or MS-Project on a Bridgeboard. Mike
1656.5		LEDS::ACCIARDI	Larger than life, and twice as ugly	`Mon Sep 24 1990 08:16`	5
	Amigannt is at release 3.0 and is quite stable. I've been meaning to upload it, but keep forgetting. I'll make a sincere effort this week. Ed.
1656.6	AmiGantt is well worth the price	ULTRA::KINDEL	Bill Kindel @ BXB1	`Mon Sep 24 1990 18:09`	12
	Re .3: I've been using AmiGantt on a project with about 80 tasks while I'm waiting for QWIKNET for my VAXstation. It's a LOT better than nothing, but not in the same class as the $400+ tools available on the Mac or PC. I've found two occasions that lead to GURUs. 1. AmiGantt doesn't look for closed dependency loops. If you modify a task to depend upon itself (directly or indirectly), a visit from the GURU will be forthcoming. 2. AmiGantt's reporting logic seems fragile, especially when attempting to produce a PERT chart of a complex project.
