Thanks for this interesting list.

However, you miss out the most obvious choice which is to use Atlassian’s own “Advanced Roadmaps” which has this functionality. Why not compare it to these? It is free which means CFOs, budget holders or cost centre managers are going to want a pretty good justification for paying for any of these alternatives.

The disadvantage (and possibly the key USP for alternatives) is the usability for team leaders and PMs. Advanced Roadmaps usability is awful. We tried it and after a hard slog, simply gave up because the team leaders rejected it. 1/10 for Atlassian. They really need to get some UI experts in to redo the whole interface.

All the alternatives need to do is provide a decent interface, some decent training videos with real examples and they could beat Atlassian hands down. otherwise, teams will just export to spreadsheet and then export to MPP.

Regards

Adam
