4. Other Platforms

4.1 Is there any project management software for the Psion Organiser ?

Yep ! Andy Clarkson 100661.2440@compuserve.com has written a shareware project planning application called Plan which is available for the Psion 3a palmtop. It is available on Compuserve in the palmtop forum and also via ftp from: the imperial ftp site.

Andy also has a home page, http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/andyc

Plan has the following key features:

• Gantt and PERT charts.
• Resource allocation histogram view.
• Task scheduling and tracking.
• Define dependencies between tasks.
• Enter resource data, (holidays, costs,...).
• Calculation of critical path.
• Transfer projects between Plan and MS Project.
• Cost calculations.
