Addressing Microsoft Project's Gaps








Looking for an inexpensive and quick way to address the major gaps with MS/Project, such as issues and risk management, scope management, documents and templates, etc.? Project Perfect, out of Australia, has a product that'll do just that, extending MS/Project's capabilities to be more useful for PMOs and those looking for a broader solution.

In addition, they have an excellent website with links to white papers and a good project management blog. Check it out...

Jerry, I know you'll get the comment from somebody - Microsoft Project Server 2003 has much less of a gap than earlier versions in this respect. With SharePoint Services project document management, risk and issue tracking and management all has reasonable functionality, including linking any of the entries to specific tasks. SharePoint Portal takes the functionality further.
That said, it's interesting to see a secondary industry of add-ins to fill functionality gaps and the white papers in your post are worth checking.

Graham, thanks for the update. I didn't realize Project Server 2003 had addressed all that. That's great news. Unfortunately, I haven't used that version.

As you said, it's still good to know there are some inexpensive products on the market to extend the product in various ways.
