Full disclosure: I'm a developer at We Are Titans, but my involvement in Projector has been limited to being one of the first users. :)
My favorite use-case for Projector so far was putting together a recent project proposal:
On my side, I:
* broke down the project into stories and estimated those stories in hours, not points.
* also added the regular template of tasks that take place to get a project off the ground, launched, and the known time required for those.
* entered the hourly rate.
* invited the prospective client to the project.
The client sees:
* The sticker price.
* How his request translates into work.
* How larger features are broken down into smaller features that account for the cost of a feature.
* He sees which features and areas of the project account for the most money.
* He saw a line item for 'back and forth' design with a bunch of hours attached to it, which communicates: Nice design can be done on the cheap if you avoid the back and forth. Use us as a saw and not as a flash light. Measure twice, cut once.
This client accepted the proposal and the project management software is already configured for the project and ready for us to get started.
Like thedelchop (one of my co-workers) mentioned, the nice thing about Projector for a team like ours is that features and budgets are in the same place. I'm used to managing projects in Pivotal Tracker and my billing in Harvest. Clients are used to seeing progress daily in Pivotal Tracker and a sticker price on paper every couple of weeks. Now we all see it in one place, every day.
