This software is a cost-effective tool for critical path project management planning. It serves as an alternative to MS Project and offers features such as reports, PERT charts and Gantt charts, which can be printed or copied to the clipboard. Additionally, the Pro version allows users to generate web page reports.
The Critical Path project management planning tool is an excellent inexpensive alternative to Microsoft Project. With its help, you can calculate the Early Start, Late Start, Early Finish, Late Finish, Float (Slack) and identify Critical Path activities. This software can also summarize resource costs for better management of the project. It presents all project data in a user-friendly and understandable "spreadsheet" pattern.
Data can be easily entered manually or imported from a file or clipboard. This software offers PERT views, Gantt (bar chart) views, and a "spreadsheet" view presented in individual re-sizeable and hideable windows. The project's activities and links can be set up and edited in either spreadsheet or PERT views, or both simultaneously. All the views are kept synchronized.
The software is capable of handling up to 1,000 activities, with no limit on links per activity (within the total of 1,000 links). The links may be Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, or Finish-to-Finish to manage overlapping activities, with minimum lag times. You can even fix individual activity dates. Moreover, the software's pop-up "working day" calendar provides up to 200 years range, and it's easy to change between working and non-working days.
Activities and lags may be specified as either "working days" or "calendar days". Reports, PERT charts, and Gantt charts may be printed, or copied to the clipboard for pasting into other programs.
The software can also maintain a master resource list across multiple projects. Activities may be grouped into up to three levels, with resource cost summaries available at each level. The software supports read-only access for network users, allowing one user to have the file open for exclusive update.
An upgrade to the Pro version ($69.98 USD) adds features for use with larger plans and in a corporate environment, including resource levelling, costing, administrative details, and enhanced export facilities, including the generation of HTML (web page) reports. Overall, this software is an efficient project management tool that can help you manage your projects with ease.
