The very focus of Multi Project Planner is managing and scheduling multiple concurrent projects competing for scarce and shared resources.

The design of Multi Project Planner is from the bottom up targeted directly at multi project management.

The core of Multi Project planner is a global planning board mirroring your production apparatus. Upon this plan the gantt charts of the projects are superimposed, according to available space and competence requirements.

Together with the highly interactive planning board this design greatly eases the task of scheduling multiple projects, minimizing project lead-time and spot potential resource conflicts well in advance.

The complexity of multi project scheduling is greatly eased by the 'Divide and Conquer' problem solving strategy, offered by Multi Project Planner's template projects.

The cost of Multi Project Planner is 348 USD.

Task Planner addresses the problem 'who is to do what and when' in cases where the tasks exhibit a recurring pattern.

Task Planner divides the problem into three:

  1. What is to be done when is handled by an activity schedule.
  2. Who is available when is handled by a work hours schedule.
  3. Who is to do what when is handled by an automatic resource allocation rutine based on qualification match.

This divide and conquer strategy makes the problem far easier to solve, minimizes the staff and ensures that you get the right people allocated to the tasks.

The cost of Task Planner is 48 USD.

A good plan today
is better than
a perfect plan tomorrow.

George S. Patton

As circumstances change you will have to change the plan.

Due to the domino effect the plan may be invalidated for quite a span of time.

Quite often you only have the time and knowledge to adjust the very near future of the plan, leaving the rest in an inconsistent state.

Our tools respect that fact, by offering features capable of holding the hot potatoes, until you are ready do deal with them.

This enables you to deliver a good plan today and a perfect plan tomorrow.
