How satisfied are you with the project management methods and supporting software within your organization?
In a report of Ernst & Young (prominent Dutch accountancy organization) it was stated that implementations of project management software frequently fail.
As part of completing my Masters thesis at the University of Twente I am studying the success of project management software and methods. I made an online survey to measure the success of the software.
Gladly results of my survey are starting to come in. According to these MS Project is still the most used PM software. But it certainly is not the most successful in many cases.
You can help me with this study by filling in an online survey. It will only cost you 5 minutes (20 multiple choice questions).
What’s in it for you?
After filling in the survey you will receive the research results. These results will give you a clear picture of which project management software and methods are leading at this moment. Moreover you can see at a single glance, depending on the circumstances, which type of project management software is the most successful.
You are NOT obliged to fill in your email address in the first name field; a random combination of characters/figures will do. This way your identity remains protected.
With kind regards,

Hi!
I’m posting this here, cause I just want to share some personal experience with the community.
As many of us I've tried MS Project and was disappointed, as it seemed too hard for me and my team for learn and work in. I’ve heard that Web 2.0 apps make your business more agile, so I’ve decided to give it a try. I made 3 criteria upon which to decide which software would suit my projects. These were: simplicity – I didn’t want to waste any time on training, transparency - I wanted my clients to be able to get a clear picture of the project work in progress and adaptability to my needs – I wanted to use the software anywhere, always get information on my team’s contributions into a project and I wanted the tool to work well with the other applications I use, Outlook first of all.
I spent some time surfing the web, till I found Wrike http://www.wrike.com/. I also found some kind of recommendation from www.gantthead.com there, so I figured the tool is worth trying. So now I’ve been using the tool for half a year already. Wrike actually does a good job. I love the option of managing tasks via emails, and I’m really glad I can share part of our work space with our clients, for them to see what we’re working at the moment. One more advantage is the tool is very easy to use.
I know that it could be hard to find the right application and in this case a piece of advice could be greatly appreciated. That’s why I’ve shared my practices here. You are very welcome to ask me more about our work in Wrike.
