Kickoff Successful Projects with Project Planning Software
How to Plan a Project with ProjectManager.com
At a basic level, project planning software lets you organize all of your tasks and resources, so you can break your project down into phases and set reasonable deadlines for your team.
ProjectManager.com is a project planning software that keeps you on schedule and lets you report on progress along the way. Here’s a walk-through so you can get more out of your projects.
1. Create Task List
Quickly start projects by importing your task list into our software. We can import MSP files, so you can easily edit and share them with your team. Of course, you can start from scratch too. Just start typing in tasks on any of our project views.
2. Add Task Description
Add brief descriptions to your tasks to give your team clear directions. Set priorities and create tags to make the task easy to find. This makes it easy to see which tasks can be excluded from the plan.
3. Switch to Gantt Chart View
Our Gantt chart maps all your tasks across a project timeline. Estimate the duration of each task by adding a start and end date. If you have dependent tasks they can be linked to avoid bottlenecks down the road. Also, add summary tasks and create phases by setting milestones to schedule tasks.
4. Onboard Your Team
Onboard your team once you’ve finished your project schedule on the Gantt chart. Invite them to the software on the team page, and they’ll get an email notification. Add details about what project team they’re on and their skill set.
5. Add Availability
Define your team’s availability so you can assign tasks properly and hit deadlines. We have a feature that blocks out your calendar, including working days and local and global holidays. Even add your team’s labor cost. Once you’ve added availability it’s displayed throughout the software.
6. Assign Work
Start assigning tasks right from the Gantt chart. Just click on a task and use the pulldown menu to select one or more team members to execute it. Add comments, documents and images as needed. Teams are notified by email and alerted whenever there’s a change made to the task.
7. Kanban for Task Updates
Use the kanban board view to see all of your assigned tasks laid out as cards under columns representing production phases. Teams can use the board to manage their work without affecting your plan on the Gantt chart. They can plan sprints, make backlogs and collaborate.
8. Monitor Progress
See your actual progress compared to your planned progress to stay on track. Get a high-level view with our real-time dashboard. We monitor project time, cost, tasks and more in colorful graphs and charts. Our Gantt chart monitors your progress with shading on the duration bar.
9. Adjust Workloads
Use the workload page to make sure tasks are distributed evenly. Correct any scheduling errors with just a few clicks, so you can keep morale high and your project moving forward.
10. Make Reports
Create reports to keep your stakeholders in the loop. Our detailed reports can be filtered to get only the data you want to see. See reports on project status, variance and much more. All of our reports can be easily shared.
