#167010 - Communication IS key!!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Oliver is totally correct. One can use MS Project - but you can get sucked into spending a lot of time trying to make the tool work for you when the time would have been better spent writing an honest status report.

In my experience as a developer...always look ahead and anticipate problems and work out at least two mitigation strategies and then go to the client / management. It is never good to:

- Ignore problems - even if they are not of your doing

- Pretend that everything will "just work out OK"

- Not have a plan

- Be untruthful about "where you are"
