Most of the project tracking online providers have much more reliable computers, connections, security measures, back systems that regular individuals have… And from my experience (basecamp from 37signals for several years and more recently with 12spints from SAP) I have no reason to believe that these guys are taking a look inside my account.No trackbacks yet."

I interviewed a PM candidate recently who told me about her current "project". She updates a database with financial information and presents weekly reports to upper management. I asked when the project started and what is the final goal. She told me she took it over from someone else and there is no defined completion. That's not a project! I love this topic.
