Jeroen,
I wasn't referring to "micro-level updated GANT-charts", I was referring to improving earned value estimates with micro-level reporting. I'm not sure if earned value analysis (budgeted cost of work performed) is commonly used in Europe, but its heavily used by US and Australian departments of defence in software projects.
I agree that we need to develop a good foundation. Perhaps more general PM tools are required, and not ones focused on a specific domain such as software project management.
Regards,
Nick.
