Description
The Project Planning and Monitoring solution provides the core requirements for planning and monitoring projects in a lightweight and simple to use application. While project planning workflow is generic to any project type, predefined phase and task texts can be defined and used to speed up the planning process.

Project budget and resource structures update automatically to task definitions and timing is calculated automatically from underlying constraint data. Participant productivity levels, dependencies and prioritization is all intelligently accounted for to create the automated Gantt schedule with detailed information per period and task.

Project phases, task titles, holidays and other key project parameters can be predefined to accelerate work flow. Task dependencies and timing constraints are taken into account for the automatic calculation of task timing and scheduling.

The project Gantt schedule with daily, weekly or monthly intervals is created with embedded task information.

Project dynamics can be altered and project progress performance monitored with best practice Earned Value Analysis throughout the complete project life cycle. The Project Planning and Management template provides the ability to define the project budget and scope as tasks are defined during the planning phase.
