P2ware Planner Professional

P2ware Planner Professional is a tool for all serious project managers. The program combines practical planning experience with the latest technology to provide a unique method of planning and implementing projects using the full product-based planning technique, in line with PRINCE2™ and the PMBOK® PMI® planning process. P2ware Planner Professional is a program created by professionals for professionals.

 The integrated planning environment will save you both time and work. This is because you don't need to apply every change in a project by hand - any change to any object will automatically update other related objects and the relationships between them. In an average-sized project, this feature can save you hundreds hours of work.

P2ware Planner Professional can be used in two ways – as a standalone application or by creating a unified project management environment using P2ware Planner Server. This latter option is suitable for group work in that it promotes joint work on a plan and prevents conflicts in implementing changes. Your plans can be published on a server, allowing authorised personnel to view whole or limited portions of the plan. Upon their release, your plans can also be synchronised with the server as well as with other plans that are related by external products, activities and resources.

Project plans published on the server can be grouped into programs and reviewed together.

Just think how much work and time you can save as a result of:

  • easily maintaining a Daily Log

  • taking advantage of the functionality of P2ware Planner Standard

  • the powerful tabular features, which allow filtered display of objects and grouping according to your rules

  • built-in mechanisms which promote consistency and accuracy with respect to the plan and its components

  • advanced traceability of the plan execution (a Gantt Chart, buffers graphs, activity snapshots)

  • simultaneously editing many hundreds of documents

  • exporting and importing data to and from Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project

  • managing quality reviews using a Quality Log
