Sure, but hopefully providing some insight for others! It was definitely a learning experience.

I had looked at it briefly before and took another look at it today. Definitely some of the same angles we are hitting. But I'd say, yes they are more on the Microsoft Project end of the spectrum and we are trying to be more on the Tre
