Prompter is a decision support tool for project planning.
A project's characteristics can be set through an extensive set of checklists, along with the selection of a life cycle and other parameters. The relevant data from the chosen scenario can then be exported to MS Project or a comparable tool for detailed scheduling. There is also an accompanying Handbook on good practice for software project planning. Another of the powerful features of Prompter is the ability to create many different scenarios for a single project. The advice relating to each scenario can then be compared, before making a final decision on the ' live' project.
