Key Features That Set This Tool Apart
1. Automatic Date Calculation
Gone are the days of manual date updates! This tool automates the process of updating project plan dates by accounting for:
Weekends and bank holidays
Staff holidays
Task dependencies
Reference numbers
Previous task assignments
Whether you’re tracking a complex task flow or a simple timeline, the automated calculations ensure your schedule stays accurate and up to date.
2. Dynamic Gantt Chart
Visualise your project timeline effortlessly with our Dynamic Gantt Chart.
Automatically updated in real time based on your project plan.
Specify the Task Name, Effort, and a valid Percentage Completed (ensure this is set to 0% or higher, not “N/A”) to populate the chart.
This feature provides a clear, concise overview of your project’s progress, helping you identify bottlenecks and prioritise tasks effectively.
3. Project Summary Drill Down
Understanding the big picture is important, but so is focusing on the details. The Project Summary Drill Down enables users to:
Navigate specific months to view task statuses.
Highlight key information, including start dates, end dates, and task counts.
Prioritise end dates over start dates to accurately calculate monthly statuses.
This level of granularity helps project managers monitor progress, ensuring every deadline is met.
4. Applying Holidays
Planning around holidays has never been easier! This feature ensures that holidays are integrated seamlessly into your project schedule:
Bank Holidays are applied to all team members, while individual staff holidays only affect specific tasks assigned to them.
Accurate Date Calculations: Each day is carefully accounted for in the Automatic Date Calculation, guaranteeing precision.
Staff Holiday Reflection: Capture and document project delays caused by holidays, including reasons and additional notes. This functionality is especially valuable during project reviews or retrospectives.
Holiday Impact on Task Start Dates: If a task’s start date falls on a holiday, the tool automatically shifts it to the next working day. While the system accounts for this adjustment, holidays after the task’s start date are excluded from the holiday count.
This comprehensive handling of holidays ensures smoother project timelines with minimal disruptions.
