Awesome Support!

tl;dr Low initial learning curve with an advanced feature set that stays out of your way until you are ready to use it. Awesome technical support!

First, I want to thank the dev for helping me through issues with repeated crashes of the software..actually it wasn’t crashing…I was asking it to display 2000 years on a Gantt chart and my computer ran out of memory! He subsequently answered my 1/2 dozen other operational questions within 24 hours.

After trying GanttProject and ProjectLibre I was searching for something that was more modern and provided a little more flexibility / features. I initially needed flow chart and Gantt chart capabilities but can’t justify the $150 - 300 expense for the “big guys.” I checked out online options (Wrike, Smartsheet) but, after my experience using OneNote Desktop compared to OneNote Online I feel like the web apps still need time to deliver on a rich feature-set.

So I “settled” for inShort because of price and reviews and I am not disappointed! After a quick read of the Help file I was able to jump right in. Unfamiliar with the official world of project management, the terms were unfamiliar to me and it took several readings of the help file before I even started to grasp the higher concepts. However, this did not get in the way of me desigining my project.

It was a great experience to look at my project from this perspective and the drilldown feature is now something that I find crucial as it keeps the top level diagram clean and clear.

I appreciate that the Help file discusses theory as well as implementation.
