If you’re concerned strictly with project schedules and resource allocation, FastTrack Schedule 9 does the job. The project management software uses easy-to-read schedules, Gantt charts and calendars to show what tasks need to be done and when. It can integrate projects created with Microsoft Project, or vice-versa. Although it has many of the features of our higher-ranked products, the program is difficult to learn and use. FastTrack Schedule 9 does what it sets out to do—keep your projects on schedule, but is a confusing project management solution. FastTrack Schedule works on Window Vista, XP, and Mac OS X.
