Project·Planner is a multi project management system.
The problem of limited resources has been brought into focus
by letting the main schedule mirror the capacity upon which
the project activities is booked.
The layout of the schedule lets you imidiately see problems
as well as helps you image potential ones, thereby giving
you the chance to handle them earlier.
Predefined projects (templates) can be dragged onto the
plan, and the program will try to make a best fit. Otherwise
it will create hot potatoes.
Brute force handling of resource conflicts, but only if
you command it.
Future resource conflicts that are not solved now, are
turned into hot potatoes, for later treatement.
Overbooking of resources.
Timescaled PERT charts, including placticity on the constrains,
which will be respected when dragging projects and templates.
Progress can be calculated automaticaly from employee reports
or manualy stated.
Just in Time means scheduling the project as close to the
delivery date as posible, thereby minimizing your inventory
and maximizing your instant maneuverability.
