Features that enticed teams to choose ProjectManager over MS Planner
Schedule projects with advanced Gantt charts
Teams prefer ProjectManager’s powerful Gantt charts when scheduling and tracking projects small and large. Unlike Microsoft Planner, our Gantt is available on all plans.
- Links all four types of task dependencies to avoid cost overruns
- Filters for the critical path to identify tasks with zero slack
- Milestone and baseline tracking in real time to stay on schedule

Import, export, edit and share MP
Microsoft users cannot access their old files from Microsoft Project or Project for the Web. Microsoft Planner doesn’t have native support for MMP files, but ProjectManager does. We offer seamless migration of Microsoft Project files to leverage existing project plans without losing critical data or workflow continuity.
- Preserves task dependencies, milestones, and critical path
- Enables collaborative editing and sharing across teams
- Maintains the assigned resources, labor costs and budgets

More business value for your money
Microsoft Planner is designed primarily for simple task management and lightweight timelines. ProjectManager’s high-performance features give managers and their teams the ability to keep complex projects on schedule, within budget and aligned with goals and objectives.
- Resource and workload management to assign tasks, track availability and balance workloads across multiple projects
- AI-powered reporting and analytics with live dashboards that provide insights into progress, risk and performance
- Built-in RAID log to spot risks and mitigate them before they derail the project
