James,



By reading the replies I thought it was quite clear that either could be use for “Any” projects.

Planning software in not just for one industry or another, it is a planning tool.

You would have to adapt it to fit the results you are looking for.

People were giving their views which one has better tools to help you do this. As MSP and Open Plan have strong and weak functions. Which one can be used a project ANY of them. It is the planner who inputs the data to ensure he gets the results the project is aiming for.



“Did anyone read what I wrote? I didn’t ask which one to chose if I had to chose between them, I asked if someone could provide a specific example of when each would be good to use..”

Was it just me or did this come across Rude ??



Hope this helps !

You are correct. I do apologise. I will never attempt to help you again.

I would choose Open Plan. It has more advanced EV capabilities, it calculates EV numbers properly and its resource leveling abilities are incomparably better than MSP.
