Hi,

I am impressed with the ideas that have been put forward.  Please take a
look at these documents that were based on the 2000 edition of the
PM-BOK.

sion.sxd

(links work fine from Windows)

Any ideas about how to break up the functionality into iterations?  Who
(would not need to be one person - it could be broken down) wants to try
and take the description(s) of how the application should work?

Gil,  how do you want the Team to deal with change management / version
control?

It would be nice to have a powerful 'what if' scenario engine. Perhaps
assigning names to specific scenarios and then being able to a scenario
to scenario comparison of some aspects of the project (e.g., cost, time,
etc.)

Absolutely! At the very least to MPX format, or directly to Microsoft
Project through COM (on Windows).

You are right in labeling this as challenging but I think this is a
'must have' if the tool is going to be a production grade device.

Also would be nice to have indicators in a project that highlight where
dependencies have changed the parameters of the current project.
