Hansoft has therefore become our tool of choice for managing key development tasks and is providing us both internally and externally with additional visibility and a framework for making more informed decisions. In our continual effort for excellence and quality the right tools enable us to deliver on those goals and Hansoft with its unique mix of scheduling methods and "live” nature certainly helps us do that,” said Jonas Eneroth, Development Director at IO Interactive.
