Hi All,
After thinking about this some, it seems I put my foot in mouth here....
After all, the whole point of FuseBox, FuseDocs and FuseStubs is to better manage your
project on the code level (even if it can't help you manage your billing)!
And there are a lot of people on this list who are doing some serious thinking about
how to better manage projects...which I appreciate.
Project management elements FuseBox, Docs and Stubs can help you with
Drafting and Outlining (using FuseDocs and FuseStubs)
and therefor, estimating cost
Teamwork and code standardization
Speed of Development
Isolation of bugs
Reuse of common code
Project management elements FuseBox can not help you with
Client relations
Bug tracking and testing
Billing
