How is TrueProject different?
Typical project management tools don’t address the core problems that are subjective or human factor related, and most information is not forthcoming on impending problems until it’s too late. But, through the automation of management information discovery, TrueProject provides clear and immediate visibility into project status, while predicting project outcomes to keep you clear of potential problems while there is time to solve them.
