Key Features of SmartPlans 3.0
Flexible Planning
Freestyle or Structured
- Build simple task lists, or
- Create “critical path” style Projects, and
- Drag Tasks onto each other to create Milestones with deadlines and alerts.
- Tasks list nested inside Milestones – just drag a task onto another to create a Milestone with deadlines and alerts.
- Two types of Projects- Free Style (simple task list or check list)- Structured Project (with critical path hierarchies, targets, reporting).
Manage Multiple Plans
With the interactive Gantt View
- Cascading detail allows you to see only what you want.
- Plan list acts as a navigator; tap to bring the Gantt into focus.
- Drill down into the Milestone view.
- Work Balance helps manage multiple plans within your work guidelines.
- Drag the end of a Plan to re-size it; this increases or decreases your work load.
- Links: Create dependencies by linking one Project to the Milestone of another (this converts the linked project into a sub-project).
