Sciral Consistency – a project management tool

April 15th, 2010 admin

Sciral Consistency is a management tool designed to help you keep track of repetitive tasks (usually professional) running over several days. Whenever you create a new task, the program asks you for a starting date and duration for carrying out the project. Once on your list, you can check the completion of each task. If necessary, the period assigned for the end is increased. Designed for individual use, this software does not include options for collaborative work in order to monitor the group tasks and projects involving several people. It is of interest to note that the interface is in English.
