I-ProjectLibre iyi-software yamahhala esungulwe nguMarc O MarcBrien ehlose ukuncintisana ne-Microsoft monopoly. IProjectLibre isivele inenguqulo entsha yokwakhiwa kwe-modular ebizwa nge-OSGI (Open Services Gateway Initiative), isoftware yokuphatha iphrojekthi ehlose ukuncintisana neMicrosoft Project (MSP). Ngamanye amagama, i-suite enikeza izinkampani amathuluzi afanele okuphatha amaphrojekthi, ukuthuthukisa amasu amasu, ukwabela izinsiza imisebenzi, ukulandelela inqubekela phambili, ukuphatha amasabelomali nokuhlaziya umthwalo wokusebenza.
IProjectLibre yenziwe nge Java, ngakho-ke ingasebenza ezinhlelweni ezahlukahlukene zokusebenza. Ixhasa iMicrosoft Project futhi iqukethe inqwaba yamathuluzi okuphatha iphrojekthi (ukuphathwa kwamanani atholakele, ishadi leGantt, amashadi we-PERT, i-RBS, i-WBS, imibiko yokusetshenziswa kwemisebenzi, njll.). Kwezinye izici kufana ne-MS Project.
Ngesikhathi sokuxoxwa, ukuthi uthini U-O'Brien, ukuthi isoftware yamahhala ikhula kakhulu ezikhathini zamuva, ibhekwa njengenye indlela esebenzayo nejabulisayo kune-software evaliwe. UMarc uqobo uveza ukuthi iMicrosoft yaba khona yonke indawo ngokwesoftware ezisebenza ehhovisi, nokuyinto engasafani nokufika kwezimbangi ze-openource ezifana ne-OpenOffice neLibreOffice. U-O'Brien ugcizelela ukuthi luselude ukhalo okusamele luhambe, kwazise iMicrosoft Project ikhona kuma-7% wamakhompiyutha wedeskithophu futhi imele imali engenayo yenkampani yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-1.000
