5.0 out of 5 stars Project management made easy, December 27, 2010

TurboProject is an incredible bargain.
As an expert on project management tools I know that this is a winner.
TurboProject allows up to 32,000 activities which should be ample for any project - even putting a man on the moon. It allows for unlimited work breakdown structure levels (WBS) so you can detail your projects appropriately.
Resources and materials can be added & assigned to any task and the rate of expensing allows an incredible array of control (fixed duration, fixed effort, fixed rate, elastic - and effort or duration driven expense.)
TurboProject has a lot of capability and is a serious critical path method (CPM) tool. As such you need to spend some time working through examples before becoming proficient - as with all project management software. If you decide on the express version available at turboproject.com it has the fewest options for complexity. The professional version has multi-project aggregation ability and can easily detect resources that are overallocated. It's a wonderful tool to determine the optimal number of people to make your project complete in the shortest time possible for the least cost.
The minimum duration allowed is 1 day, so those needing micro-scheduling will not find it appropriate, but for the other 99.5% of us this is not an issue.

For a product 1/20th the price of other products I find this product amazing in its capabilities. If desired, help is available at kolinger.net
