The fact that this post has made it to #2 despite the huge number of PM tools out there reveals two things:

(1) Project Management is painful and the existing providers still don't fully grasp what the market needs/wants

(2) Matterhorn must be doing something right to get over the noise, so kudos to your team! For me, it's your realization that not everyone manages their workflow in the same way, so being able to coordinate while giving people their personal preferences is really powerful. I wish I could see a demo!




>> (1) Project Management is painful and the existing providers still don't fully grasp what the market needs/wants

PM is painful, but I think existing providers do grasp what _their_ markets need/want. There is no such thing as one PM tool for everyone.

The reason why there is a proliferation of PM tools -- and why many vendors survive-- is that they tend to cater to different needs and audiences.


Thank you! Matterhorn is at its best once you get a couple of projects started and have team members onboard, which is why we didn't go with a demo approach to start with, but hearing from everyone about wanting more details about how it works we're going to try and find a better way to showcase the features.


I agree with (1) but maybe you don't mind to elaborate on (2) and what do they right?

The whole thread with all the upvotes and nobody telling us why exactly this new tool is so great feels strange to me.
