Thank you and now for Massimo: He does have the same surname as the Godfather so we should do as he says!!!

Hello, I am Massimo Castiglione and I'm doing a study at the University of Palermo on the classification of Project Management software in a university thesis.

With this goal, I want to ask you if you could kindly fill in this short questionnaire asking to evaluate (with a score) the features that a Project Management software should have.

Thank you very much for your attention and for your help.   Check Out the Information here.

Thanks for your time

Planning Planet would like to introduce the latest evolution in project planning from the founder of Acumen and Pertmaster NA.

BASIS is Dr. Dan Patterson’s newest venture and contribution to the project management community.

BASIS helps organizations build better plans, faster.  Traditional CPM tools are good for tracking project execution, but don't support the upfront planning process.  BASIS was created to help organizations build better plans in less time.  Use your CPM tool to execute your project, use BASIS to ensure the plan being "executed" is actually achievable.

BASIS will be available in September.  If your organization wishes to see BASIS in action before September, sign up for the Early Adopter program to gain insight and offer feedback on this evolutionary planning solution.
