Software to help people commit Project Management.

Marketshare leader is Ms Project. We will bury you.

Micro Soft is broadening the reach of Ms Project. In the words of partner Business Engine , "They (Microsoft) want to make Project into a platform, which is the way we have always seen it," he said. (Though [BE] seems to have a top-down budget/ConTrol attitude...)

My vision is a product called Project Flux. Similar to the killed-by-BlogGer PyRa.

Here's one possible Name Space. Another is PmXml.

My short-term hack plan: use ZWiki (Collaboration Ware, Wiki For Collaboration Ware)

Tweak ZWiki:ZwikiTracker

• add some fields like assignedTo, expectedCompleteDate

• use ZWiki's built-in Hierarchal Structure to mimic a hierarchy of tasks

• body text of each task item/page is like a WebLog/AppLog entry. (And ZWiki let's you set up any page to support email subscription for updates.)

Structure the wikis for an organization as follows:

• root/central wiki for central/cross-project info, plus a single Zwiki Tracker

• SubWiki(s) for each project requiring significant documentation (User Stories, etc.)

Most discussion happens via EMail (and in person), then is recorded to the appropriate wiki pages, because Summarizing Is Necessary.

Note this makes it difficult/tricky to view a single-project Recent Changes/WebLog view.
