Multi Project Planner 3.1 Description:

Multi Project Planner is a software that allows you to organize projects.

Multiple concurrent projects competing for shared resources is at the very focus of Multi-Project-Planner.

The project activities are booked on a schedule, common to all work teams.
I.e. the Gantt charts of the projects are superimposed upon this common schedule.

This way both resource allocation and the interrelationships between the activities are handled in one and the same view. A feature called 'Hot potatoes' lets the system keep track of all the loose ends and little things while you concentrate on the planning issues at large or on a single issue at a time.

Employees can be automaticaly allocated to work teams based on competencies and avaliability. Template projects can be formulated and dropped on the schedule several times. Just in time planning is possible using template projects and the "Best Fit Monitor". Decision points can be attached to each project activity. They will raise a flag when due. Interoperability through integrated web server.

Multi Project Planner 3.1 Features:

The application consists of three boards:

· The Capacity Schedule, which is a model of your company's production facilities upon which your projects are booked. That is the gantt charts of the projects are superimposed upon a schedule, mirroring the capacity.
· The Employee Schedule, showing which employees are present at any given time. The employees man the work teams.
· The Resource Situation Overview, showing the accumulated demand and supply of resources.

Work Team:
· Every work team supplies a set of competencies.
· A project activity has a corresponding set of competence demands.
· A best fit between the demands and supplies is the key when editing is performed, ie when you drag a project template or a project,all activities other than the one you control with the mouse, is placed onto the plan according to this fit.

Template projects:
· New projects can be scheduled by "drawing" directly in the Work Team Schedule.
· Alternatively, predefined projects can be dragged onto the schedule, and the program will try to make a best fit with respect to competence demands and available work teams.
· finally projects can be stored as templates, ie the other way around.

Handling conflicts:
· Conflicts may occur because of lack of available work teams with the needed competencies.
· Conflicts can either be resolved instantly by overruling, or left to be dealt with late (hot potatoes).
· Flags indicate unresolved conflicts.

Progress Tracking:
· Progress (completion and actual time used) can be calculated automatically from actual time reported, or it may be specified directly.

Weekend modifiers:
· Weekends and special days are respected when editing the plan, ie the number of working days are still the same. This functionality is fully configurable.

PERT chart and relative constrains:
· Pushing a button will show a time scaled PERT chart for the selected project, leaving the others grayed. In this picture the relative constrains between the activities are edited.
· Relative constraints can be given some plasticity, i.e. A must finish before B ± 2 to 5 days f.ex. When moving the project or dragging a template onto the plan, these constrains including their plasticity are respected.

Capacity structure easily modified:
· The capacity structure is easily modified in magnitude and order by the mouse. The structure is hierarchical in nature.

Decision points:
· Decision points can be attached to project activities.
· A decision point contains all the decisions which must be taken at a specified interval relative to the execution of the activity.
· A project activity can have multiple decision points.
· A warning flag is raised if decisions are due today.

Flags:
· Flags are attached to activities to indicate an exception.
· An activity can raise a flag if
· No resources allocated at all.
· Resources only partly allocated.
· Relative constraints violated.
· Notes attached to the activity.
· Activity fixed in time.
· Decisions due.

Notes:
· Notes may be attached to project activities. If notes are attached to an activity, a yellow flag is raised. The tool tip of the flag will show the first line of text in the last note.

Editing facilities:
· The editing is done with the mouse.
The editing facilities includes:
· Creating project activities using a "Pen".
Moving / resizing project activities with the following modularities:
· Respecting relative constrains or not (ie related activities following or not).
· Respect weekends or not.
· Dragged to other rows. (capacities)
· Splitting an activity into two.
· Turn an activity into a hot potato.
· Overruling or brute force editing. If the program denies an activity the right to occupy a space, either because its already occupied, there is not enough room or insufficient competencies, you may overrule it by pushing the "Ctrl" button.

Duty templates:
· Duties mainly constitutes a recurring pattern. Multi-Project-Planner offers a duty template
· in which you state duty pattern one and for all.

Workforce Assignment:
· Resources may be automatically assigned to activities with respect to
· The competencies needed for a task and the competencies offered by the employees.
· The availability of employees.
· Preferred employees, ie. a distinct set of employees assigned to a distinct set of work teams.
· Of course, manual assignment is also possible.

Printing facilities:
· The size of the printout is configurable. It can span multiple pages.

Multi Project Planner 3.1 Limitations:

· 30 days trial
