Condotiero

A "Condotiero" (or its more common Condottieri in Italian) were the leaders of the professional military free companies (or mercenaries) contracted by the Italian city-states and the Papacy from the late Middle Ages and throughout the Renaissance. In Renaissance Italian, condottiero meant "contractor". In contemporary Italian, "condottiero" acquired the broader meaning of "military leader", not restricted to mercenaries. In other words, a condotiero was a leader who accepted and perform or delivered a contract. In the same way a Project Manager is contracted to deliver a project (i.e. a contract).

Condotiero is an application that helps the project manager and the whole team manage a project's progress from initiation to completion. It interfaces with various Microsoft Office 2013 applications like Word, Excel and Project to produce various project related documents. While there are other project management tools available in the market, they tend to focus on project planning & scheduling, task management and reporting.

And now Version 3.0 builds on previous releases and adds a brand new Project Scheduling facility. While it retains its previous interface to Microsoft Project, project schedule Gantt charts can now be viewed, built and maintained from within Condotiero without having to export to Microsoft Project and then modify the resultant file.
