There is no support for XML integration, no reporting, no functionality for Gannt chart, PERT, or time-based reporting by deadlines, and in general a complete lack of support for gaining an overview of all projects. The listing of all projects by status is a simple HTML generated list that could be easily created by Yahoo's SiteBuilder applications (free from Yahoo) for example. There is also no way to segment out projects by their status or not. All of these limitations could potentially create a high level of security violations as there are no individualized project status definitions apparently in the application. Once someone gains access to even a single project, they can easily get to all projects in the entire system. This application therefore lacks security as well. There are many other limitations from a project management standpoint and collaboration perspective as well including a lack of support for integrating even the simplest PayPal payment back to other systems like Quicken or other personal finance applications. There is no fraud detection on this website either meaning that once a person's e-mail address is associated with the person and project, the potential of identity theft could be high. The demo account showing projects has not been cleaned out since June 13, 2004 which leads one to believe this is an abandoned application and website.

Relevance to this course

Studying PlanProjects is interesting in that it shows why a Web-based application for collaboration or even low-end task management should never be abandoned. The pace of technological change is quickening and the site could have been done in Google APIs probably in a fraction of the time it was created in HTML four or five years ago. The site also is a strong reminder that the selection of online tools needs to be carefully considered as it is clear not much, if any, development is occurring on this site right now.

Assessment of Exercise - Highly relevant to the study of the course as it shows why it is very important to evaluate the viability of vendors before signing up with them. PlanProjects.com is apparently for sale, has 718 users, generates $300 a year in Google AdSense revenue, and has had the Forums shut down due to spam. See the discussion here:
