Exquisite Tool – simplicity combined with power Txavatar I have all the project geek merit badges – PMP certified, contributing author of the PMBoK, and a 20 year veteran of running projects up to thousands of personnel and billions of dollars. This tool shines in regard to easy of use combined with functionality. 99% of the users of Microsoft Project can’t properly use more than 10% of the application as everyone geeks out and wants more functions and more gadgets. QPP allows you to QUICKLY get a project sketched out and running. Earned Value Calculations and Resource Leveling?
Yeah good luck with that on any tool. Im not going to suggest any more functionality to this tool to avoid unnecessarily complicating it but I will ask for a web-based or Mac-based app to easier support the initial keying and loading of all the project activities. That’s not a shortcoming of QPP but rather of iPads, which simply aren’t as good as a full size keyboard for data entry.Thanks for a terrific App!! Best Project Planning App Scott, PMP This is my go to app for project planning and tracking on iOS.
Project Planning Pro is a simple and easy to use tool to plan and manage any kind of project. The app provides flexibility to manage projects during meetings or when out of office.
I’m using it daily to plan and track projects and have found it to be the best project management app for iOS thus far. The ability to quickly enter information, move it around and organize it so that clients and stakeholders can understand it is priceless. In addition to project tracking, I’m using it for high level program management reporting to align management stakeholders to the overall plan and status.The developer has done a great job with the user interface and user experience. There are video tutorials available on how to use the app making it very clear on how to use. I’ve found it to be very intuitive which has made it easy to learn and use so I can quickly make changes while discussing the project with clients.The export functions are great making it easy to send a snapshot via PDF, Excel or PNG to stakeholders and resources to keep everyone on the same page with the project. Exporting XML works great when it’s time to make the schedule more complex than what should be managed on the iPad or if needed to align with an enterprise project reporting tool.I’m using the app daily and have found it to be the best project planning tool on iOS that is available.
Best Project Planner Anywhere! Palomnik Of all of the project planning /Gantt Generation Software I have used on either the iPad or the Desktop, this has become my favorite. It has added speed and ease to my workflow. I begin by brainstorming project tasks and milestones in iThoughts (mind map for iOS and MacOSX). This, for me, is simply the easiest and most intuitive way to begin planning. QuickPlan imported my mindmap into a Project with appropriate task and subtask levels. I could have defined more task attributes, dates, etc.
In iThoughts, but it was easier to add them in QuickPlan. QuickPlan also spaced out the imported tasks and subtasks over a timeline, making it super easy to define time data by just sliding or dragging the existing gantt bars. QuickPlan takes full advantage of the touchscreen, and creating a project timeline was never so easy! I set a new record for myself in terms of the ease and speed of creating a project, which now syncs to other devices.
When it came time to share or export the project, I got a beautiful PDF of the project timelines and gantt chart ready to email or share, and an Excel file that is also stunning in its organization. You could also export for Microsoft Project, and I was going to figure out a way to export into GanttProject, but frankly, QuickPlan is so good, I’m not going to use anything else – the exports are good enough for sharing. This program is going to give me such a competitive edge, I wonder if I should be giving it a review! NOTE: You may wish to think about the combo package that includes a WBS and Org Chart app, as it is only a few dollars more.
Gantt chart. Create tasks and milestones. Aside from the start date and duration, every task may have priority, cost, color and fill pattern, text notes and user-defined custom fields. Organize tasks in a work breakdown structure. Hierarchical tree where progress, dates or costs of lower level tasks is summarized on the higher levels. Summary tasks can be collapsed to hide tasks which are not important at the moment.
Draw dependency constraints between tasks, like 'start X when Y finishes' and GanttProject will take care of enforcing these constraints. You can add a lag or use other types of constraints. Create baselines to be able to compare current project state with previous plans. PERT chart for read-only view can be generated from the Gantt chart. Why do we show ads Ads are vital for GanttProject to be alive.
If there were no ads on the web site, GanttProject would have died years ago. We also, but currently donations are negligible comparing to ads. Our ads policy We always label ads and we always focus user on our own content first. You'll never see ads in the top-left corner, you'll never see misleading links between text paragraphs.We only have two ad units which is really modest comparing even to such giants as SourceForge which probably gains much more money from other sources than we do. We block unfair ads, though. If you find really misleading or fraudulent ad, please take a screenshot, copy URL of a website where it points to.
