    We've got a multi-site project and we're looking for a collaborative project management package with as many of the following features as possible:
    • Basic task entry/duration
    • Task dependencies
    • GANTT charting
    • Integrated Status Reporting
    • Dashboarding
    • Integrated Change Request Management
    • Collaborative -- Server Based, Supports Multiple Users
    • Exports/Imports data in common file formats
    • Supports multi-site team of 5-50
    I'm hearing BaseCamp and MS Project Server, potentially with a Wiki on the side, but I'd like to see what others use.


    Rep for any/all replies! :cool: :D

    I have no idea what any of those terms mean. I'm so glad I'm relatively close to retirement. I feel like a fucking caveman, the way the pace of learning new technologies advances exponentially. I mean, I work on equipment with tubes!
    It would really suck to be young these days IMO.

    Never used the other one, but Microsoft Project will do.

    Microsoft Project is pretty much universal around here, the engineering and construction people love it.

    I can't say, but as far as job hunting goes, everyone wants to hire project managers that know MS Project. :shrug:
