"To use Route in Internet Explorer you need to Install Google Chrome Frame Plugin" Practically speaking, the site is broken for a large segment of the Project Manager population. This suggests a disconnect with your intended customer base. change "intended" to "potential."

Route was designed with milestone-based workflow in mind. You create milestones, you set due dates on them, you specify goals for each milestone - at the end you get a nicely delineated route through the project plan. Trello is a more general solution.
OK, I get what you are going after. From your market research (and I'm curious here), do people tend to work better with such deadline-driven approach? My experience with Trello (and other PMs, is that they do not. But we are operating in different markets). Also, who is this made for (who is your market)?
Of course, this approach is not for all use cases. For example, it won't work for very short projects - too much hassle setting up all those milestones.

Currently the focus of our attention is on small software companies, but we believe that the milestone-based approach would be beneficial to projects in any industry. Milestones bring visibility - the project route is explicitly defined, everyone on the team sees where the project is headed.

Good points. I appreciate taking the time to explain further. I did not see any trial plans in there, is there one available? I'd like to give it a try.
Cool product tour. Is it custom built or did you use some kind of 'tour library'? Hope that's not a dumb question. I could swear I've heard of such a thing being developed before. First issue is that clicking inside the tour pop-ups causes the tour to advance to the next step. I know there is a 'next' button but at least on chrome, clicking anywhere inside the tour pop-ups advances the tour with no way to go back. Wi…
Thanks for response! Actually this pop-up behavior is intentional, so that you don't have to aim at the "next" button. The product tour is custom built - nothing fancy, just CSS3 animation.
