Project Management Experiences with MrProject

Hi,

first of all:
	thanks to the developers of MrProject
	coming up with this fine piece of software!

I'm now using MrProject as the central planning tool. Before that
I did everything with flat documents (actually HTML pages). But
with the growing complexity I had to get a Gantt chart for a better
overview. (The Gantt chart also makes things more obvious to the
developers: "when I don't get this finished in time I'll be in trouble
soon")

I now manage two Project Plans with a total of about 220 task from now
to march 2003). It takes a couple of seconds when opening such a project
in MrProject but then it has a good responsiveness.

I'm using the newest version (0.6 at this time) together with the
previous version (0.5). Reason for that is: 0.6 can't print, so I print
with 0.5 -- this works ok, but from my point of view the print
feature would be great in 0.7. (A bug in 0.5 printing: if printing over
multiple pages things which overlap from one page to another will get
cut off.)

Something which makes things a little bit complicated is the missing
"holiday" feature. It would be great if I could enter public holidays
and also time periods where my "resources" take a couple of days off
(vacation time).


But anyway: MrProject is a great help already. After all it does it's
job to help me plan my tasks and resources. So: Thanks again to the team!

Cheers
Raphael
