There is now a very nice versioning feature in ProjectTraXX. It supports the rolling-wave planning technique.
While everybody is working and reporting on the current version of the work-plan one can change, add details or cancel open tasks in a separate version of the work-plan.
Once the plan reaches the next level maturity it can be promoted from the "planning" to the "execution" stage. Of course all time-bookings as well as maintenance operations (ETC, closed tasks) remain in place for the new version.
A history-page provides detailed information on the project's KPIs and how they changed between versions. On all views for the project-plan you can switch between the different version and choose to work on the lates version that is in "planning" stage, the current version in "execution" or other older versions.
This feature will be one of the more powerful enhancements to traditional tracking - especially when combined with the import / export of MS Project Files in XML format.
