PACT-a software package to manage projects and coordinate people

PACT is a software package that extends Microsoft Project by endowing it with extensive features needed to coordinate projects among distributed participants and manage their inter-dependencies. Significant features include: support for multiple users; comprehensive RDBMS to store project history and maintain strict access control; common visibility of the project network to all team members, no matter where they are on a network; direct involvement by participants in the coordination of the project; practical metrics to assess projects, at the planning phase itself, using the most recent project data; worklist queues to notify members of the project when changes occur; attachment of the results of tasks to the tasks themselves for others to instantly obtain all the technical information needed to perform subsequent tasks; paperless working is thus made possible.
