 | PlanBee Pro Critical
Path Project Management Critical Path
project management planning tool, an inexpensive alternative to Microsoft
Project. Calculates Early Start, Late Start, Early Finish, Late Finish,
Float (Slack) and identifies Critical Path activities. Calculates and
summarizes resource costs. Shows all project data in a "spreadsheet"
pattern for ease of understanding. Data may be manually entered or
imported from a file or the clipboard. Independent re-sizeable and
hideable windows show PERT views and Gantt (bar chart) views of the project in
addition to the "spreadsheet" view. Activities and links may be set up and
edited in either spreadsheet or PERT views or both at once, since all views are
kept synchronized. Up to 1,000 activities. No limit on links per activity
(within total of 1,000 links). Links may be Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start or
Finish-to-Finish to handle overlapping activities. Links may have minimum time
lags specified. Individual activities may have their dates "fixed". Pop up
"working day" calendar with 200 year range. Easy to change working/non-working
days. Activity durations and lags may be specified as either "working days" or
"calendar days" - both types may be used in the same plan. Scale of PERT
and Gantt charts are adjustable both on-screen and for printing (to make best
use of pages). Reports, PERT charts and Gantt charts may be either printed, or
copied to the clipboard for pasting into other programs. Each project may
have its own resources list, or master resource lists may be maintained for use
across projects. Activities may be grouped into up to three levels, with
resource cost summaries available at each level. On a network other users may
have read-only access while one user has a file open for exclusive update.
Pro version includes features for use with larger plans and in a corporate
environment, including resource levelling, costing, administrative detail and
enhanced export facilities including the generation of HTML (web page)
reports. |
