While working at artnet, I’ve come across various tools to management our never-ending lists requirements. The following tools specialize in different key areas:

Requirements Gathering

Protopying of Products

Reporting

Use Case Modeling

Managing Actors & Resources

Collaborative Work Among Stakeholders

While Microsoft Project is best for timelines and alloting resources, its a major hassle getting it fine-grained as some of these tools. Also, it does not possess some of these major functionalities.

I bring this up because with all the major stakeholders and moving pieces in the auctions project, and because of the unique way that it has to be project-managed, we need more order in managing various resources and artifacts.

The tools are as follows. I have to reassess the following again, as it’s been sometime. Feedback is welcomed from all, of course.
