Software Information Community
  • Working with the Architecture of the Space - No, it's not .NET focused, but in case you've missed it, there's been discussion on lately about the lack of women speakers at tech conferences. Anne's firsthand observations from the recent Adobe Engage event struck a chord with me, probably because her observations on the physical and social space pretty precisely mirror some of the things that I was saying in a different male-dominated venue (far left and anarchist gatherings) twenty years ago. It's a bit depressing to realize that the same issues have to be worked through over and over again in different settings. Anyhow, I just wanted to quietly put in my two cents' worth by saying that this stuff is important.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Software development projects are generally too complex and too important to manage with pencils and sticky notes. That's why good project management software can be the difference between shipping your software on time and infinitely floating ship dates.

When you manage a software development project with Axosoft OnTime 2006, you'll have access to all of the tools you need to keep your team focused on the project, rather than having them focused on managing the process.

Join over 5,000 development teams world-wide and start shipping software on time with OnTime 2006, the project management software of choice for entrepreneurs, SMBs, and large corporations.
