Have questions about Project KickStart?
Project KickStart v6.2
Plans can be complex, but the planning process shouldn't be. This has been our philiosphy through six versions of Project KickStart, and 40,000+ customers seem to agree. In fact, we designed Project KickStart to guide people through the planning process like a coach - helping them identify goals, risks, resources, and collaborators, so that they can better build a comprehensive task list. With the task list built, Project KickStart then generates a full Gantt schedule, including task dependencies, that helps get things done - on time and on budget, and all for less than half the cost of the leading project management software.
Our clients are planning and managing projects for general business, consulting, IT, government, education and more. If you are you looking to generate ideas, solve problems, and increase efficiency, try it now and have a project ready in 30 minutes.
Once the project is complete, publish it to the cloud with Webplanner.com, and collaborate with anyone, anywhere, on any platform. We call that "ground-to-cloud" project management, and it couldn't be easier.
Whether you're a professional project manager, or just planning a special event, Project KickStart has the chops to get the job done, and your team won't need to learn an expensive and complicated tool - or even install software at all.
Project Management Software that is built on customer feedback
