![]() ![]() I'm thinking their using Lead Time where it represents the overlap you can have between two tasks that have a dependency. In The Task Editor I am confused as to how they are using or interpreting Lead & Lag Time. I want a quicker and more precise way to zoom in and out on large network diagrams than having to go up to the View menu. ![]() ( That may not be a bad thing for a lot of people since it prevents misinterpreting or confusing projects) You can't have multiple project or sub project windows open at the same time.(It also sometime fails to respond when opening). Sometimes getting the program open and running is sometimes clumsy and cumbersome and its files open slowly.Priority too but I interpret that to mean the Priority of the quality of the work in a task and not the Priority of when it should be done which is really determined by the Critical Path algorithms. I like that in the Task Editor you can assign a Risk level to a particular task.Mac OS X, MS Windows, and Linux.( I haven't checked out how it run under Windows yet, just Mac Tiger). You can purchase bundles or additional licenses to distribute to all you project contributors so everyone can get in on the planning." which means you can Email select resources their task information from with the program. You can "Publish Assignments To Resources.You can publish a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed to you project or sub project information.You can publish and distribute schedules to iCal.You can easily switch back and forth from network diagram to Gannt Chart. ![]() Still I think this is is pretty kool program and we're going to buy a license and test it out a lot more thoroughly. 2.) When I closed a project file it also quit the program completely.) were there with SharedPlan 1.0 so this upgrade didn't address them. I had to open the program and then open them through the File menu. Well according to the press release on their site it appears SharedPlan 2.0 is hot of the shelf but from poking around the web the problems I mentioned discovering last night, (1.) I couldn't open the sample files by clicking on them in the Finder. ![]() Make sense?Īnyway I let you know more of what I think tomorrow but I think I'm really going to like this program. So the one file essentially aggregates all our different projects. In other words we run from one project file and that file has different sub projects that are in reality each a client project. That is we run only "one project" which is in reality the project of running all our projects. You can tell if resources are over allocated within a specific project but not across multiple projects although there is a work around to that and it the same kind of work around we use with Fasttrack. It seems to me going through it this evening that the Resources are or can't be shared by different project files so consequently I have no way of knowing from within the program if one of my resources is over allocated between two different projects. I run through the program again tomorrow night and then give you a report on the features I like and I'm interested in but will mention to night what I don't like. That said there are tons of features in the program that I really like and I'm very interested in and there is one thing that I don't like and a little concerned with. Did you experience any of those behaviors? We're running OSX 10.4 Tiger here. 2.) When I closed a project file it also quit the program completely. 1.) I couldn't open the sample files by clicking on them in the Finder. There are two bugs that I think I came across as I was demoing the program. However what we really use is AEC's Fasttrack Schedule 8 but Fasttrack is a Gannt Charter with no network diagramming mode which is why I will on occasion go back to using MacProject Pro for individual projects that have lots of dependencies. I like working with network diagrams so much that I still on occasion use the now ancient version of MacProject Pro. I was impressed and what really turned me on was that the program worked in a network diagram mode and not just a Gannt chart. Sooo I went through their site and downloaded the demo and I am impressed enough that if I can figure out what the bugs I encountered are all about I am probably going to purchase a single Pro license so that we can test it out in the real world. Scooleen I had never even heard of Shared Plan until I read your post earlier this evening. ![]()
