Scheduling and Planning with PlanningForce
Create, manage and simulate multiple projects
Schedule management is often a difficult matter.
From the project design to its complete achievement, managers have to be able to create workable schedule, regulary relaunch the planning process and give realistic forecasts and reports including delays, uncertainty, financial predictions,...
Even if a lot of tools exist to manage projects from day to day, the real challenge of project managers is often forgotten: how to generate a plan which will give a workable schedule for the short term and realistic forecasts at longer term?
PlanningForce propose to construct these elements from your data.
How?
By using your task and resource descriptions, your priorities and your own knowledge to generate, with a powerful auto planning and scheduling engine multi-project plan simulations, forecasts and workable schedules on demand and taking account of the current achievement status.
- During this process, PlanningForce will use
- Your task descriptions (their needs, duration,...)
- Your resource definitions (their competences, number, specific calendars and variable efficiency)
- Your goals
- The defined priorities on these elements.
After having generated your schedules or simulations, PlanningForce allows you to make them evolve (resources, tasks, projects, priorities,… can change) and generate new schedules and forecasts.
