Is that a 1990's computer synthesized narration voice?

We have generated voice using IBM Watson text to speech. Hope you liked our 1990's computer narrated voice :)

Sadly I don't see anything simple there. IMO interface is overcomplicated, like in most of PM applications. :)

Interface is timeline view. We designed this interface as one can easily tracked deadline and status of a project in one collaborative space only.

I would suggest you to try it once.

Also, for simplicity we have added only those feature to it which was must needed for a project management.

I know! Hope you didn't take my comment as an attack as that was not my intent, because the overall design is nice, and fits well in current trends. :)

Wasn't clear but what I meant was that you should go beyond the Gantt timeline model, and envision a way modern way for something that was designed in the early 1910s. You have a great base for that and can improve with few tweaks & mergers here and there. :)

Your feedbacks is welcomed, I didn't took it as an attack just was trying to explain why we designed it like this.

We are already working on it to bring more changes and tweaks to make it more user-friendly. Hope you liked it.

I'm giving it a whirl, the free trial is generous and pricing reasonable. I'll let you know how we get on.

edit: One immediate bit of feedback is that I can't seem to find any keyboard shortcuts.

As we have just launched it in Beta few days ago. Right now it doesn't have keyboard shortcuts support. But we are working on it and soon it will have. If you have any questions on getting started or any question do write me on robins@birtly.com

"as agile as Jira"?!

I rolled my eyes on that one too.
