    • Scrapbox itself, because the development project is done in Scrapbox.
  • Scrapbox is suitable for project management” is unclear definition of project management - If we follow PMBOK, a popular textbook on Project Management, project management is - Manage projects to completion in a given amount of time - Management to complete the project within the approved budget - Management to identify and acquire the resources needed for the project

Scrapbox-type management is a possible third force.
