The Challenge
According to Donovan, “I wanted to find a piece of software which would allow me to formulate a plan of attack for completing my Master's Thesis in a timely manner.”
The Solution
Like many students, Michael Donovan didn't have a lot of time or money. But he needed results fast. As a Marine Biologist, project management was not his primary learning goal, so he didn't want to spend weeks learning a complex system.
Donovan says, “After downloading the trial version of Project KickStart, I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning evaluating your software. I am impressed with the ease with which I was able to create a Gantt chart, and with the professional quality of the resulting output. I showed the Gantt Chart that I made to one of my professors, and he was impressed enough to ask me for your web site."
The Benefits
For Michael J. Donovan, the facts were clear. Project Kickstart met his critical requirements:
- Easy to get up and running
- Readily available from website
-
Sophisticated and detailed Gantt charts
