Project portfolio management

• Simply create task groups, tasks and milestones through the Task Manager.
• Define their durations and relationships. Evaluate cash income on tasks or milestones.

Apply requirements

• Requirements are defined in terms of roles (general levels of competence) and, if necessary, specific skills.
• Roles and skills can also be refined through the notion of level of competence.
• Use the group detail features to accelerate your encodings.
• Check the coherence of your requirements with the diagnosis tool.

View WBS Gantt

• Draw your projects in the WBS Gantt using interactive graphical tools.
• The "WBS Gantt" gives you an overview of your input. It is not affected by calendars, risks, resource availability and variable efficiency.

Apply categories

• Use categories to classify your tasks.
• They will be useful to show or hide groups of tasks in your results.

Apply calendars

• Define specific calendars for task accomplishment.
• Assign them to groups or individual tasks.
• Calendars are cumulative.
• Modify individual calendars in one click without altering the others.

Apply coefficients

• Take account of risk factors:
  - efficiency
  - disruptions
  - uncertainties (accidents, bad weather, ...)
  
• Define them on a graphical or numerical way.
• Associate them to tasks (individually or grouped) inside a user-friendly "single click" interface.

Add comments

• Write and attach simple or complex descriptions to your projects and tasks.
• Print these comments in the report "Resource scheduling" to communicate instructions to your staff.
