Your current niche "PM tools for software industry" has crazy competition including all big guys - Microsoft, IBM, HP, Oracle, SAP - basically any big company that comes to mind has something to offer, smaller guys (37 signals, Atlassian, Assembla, etc). You also get a hundred various project management apps on Google marketplace (140 products) + around 50 on SourceForge.net + plenty of desktop/shareware tools.
You should really think about better niche or sub-niche or start as a plugin/component to existing systems (if you are really into PM).
It is still very good to see some sort of innovation in this seemingly old and very conservative field.
Good luck with your project, I am sure you will figure it out.
- dclaysmith 15y agoYeah, I went into why I am writing it in a blog post last week (http://www.thetaboard.com/blog/why-im-making-thetaboard?r=376 http://www.thetaboard.com/blog/why-im-making-thetaboard?r=37...). Most of the apps you mentioned force you in a very specific workflow. I'd like to build something that is process agnostic. I hope it's also application agnostic so that you could use it to manage software dev or a big catering job. Tons of competition tho, yeah.
