The future of Project KickStart is bright. Oh, it is very bright.
The first four versions of our software (five if you count the DOS version) have had gray backgrounds. We have been relentless in our efforts to make the product as functional, intuitive and powerful as possible. Even so, one day, it dawned upon us: gray was so last decade. So we figured that Project KickStart 5′s Pro and Standard versions will feature beautiful new user interfaces.
Wait, did I skip something?
Oh yeah…Project KickStart 5. Let me just say that it’s underway. Well underway. And my God is it good. Our customers are already very happy about version 4, but we can’t wait until they get their hands on the fifth Windows installment of the software we rolled out as a DOS application in 1992.
Project KickStart 5 is going to be a whole lot more than just a beautiful new take on the existing software. Imagine having our complete project planning wizard with a professional dependency Gantt chart and easily-printable, project dashboards under one roof. In minutes flat, you’ll be able to email or print a one-page report that details the status of any of your projects, including budgeting information, project status and more. Project KickStart 5 will be all the features of version 4 and tons of great new functionality with a brand new user interface. And wow, is that interface good-looking.
Oh, you want to see it? Hmm, I’m not sure I’m supposed to show you quite yet.
Come on, I’m just the guy who writes the blog…I’m not sure about authorization…my job description…someone might be mad…trade secrets…cat out of the bag…
Fine, you win. I’ll give you guys a taste…but when the purchasing department wants to know why you don’t have an appetite for inferior project planning software, don’t mention my name. Just tell them you’ve had the best of the best, you’ve seen the promised land, and nothing less than Project KickStart 5 will do.
Ok, here it is…the sweet new User Interface:
And although I’ll probably get taken out back and caned for this, here is the new Reports Dashboard:
