Where Do You Live?

Situation: You Want To Make PM Easier For Your 21st Century Online Workforce...

In recent postings, I've talked about being excited about Microsoft's tighter integration of MS Project with Outlook.  Bring the tasks to the people (in applications they live in), rather than pushing people to the tasks (making them go someplace they don't naturally want to go) -  just makes a great deal of sense to me.

The folks at eProject have a different point of view on this.  Their belief is that we all live online these days.  They call us "BIZsumers" who visit places like MYYahoo every day.  They have a really nice way of tying their applications into this online world through RSS feeds and other mechanisms.  The end result is that, as a team member, your tasks show up in online applications that you are visiting anyway.  

I think either way, this sort of convergence is healthy for our industry - focusing more on efficiently getting things done versus new product bells and whistles.  Making things easy to use is one of the most important things a vendor can do and its great to see people moving in that direction.
