Construction software for those determined to be successful
PowerProject contains 80% of all the functionality that its users have requested since the product was developed in 1987.
If you believe that project planning is about representing the project teams ideas in a detailed electronic model of the successful project, then you will surely see the benefit of using a model that is completely ccessible to everyone. This will increase commitment and the whole likelihood of success. Powerproject doesn't let the technology get in the way, it uses the technology to provides the connection between the ideas and the plan.
PowerProject is construction programme software built to manage real projects in real world conditions where we may not always know all the information or have all the answers at the beginning.
PowerProject is easy to use and control. That means it places the planner in the team where the action is and provides the information necessary to make the difference. Planning is about a can do attitude and capability - doing it right and knowing the right answers. PowerProject, more than any other package, does not loose the truth in all the technology. It provides a clear and decisive opportunity to let the team members have the knowledge they need to make considered judgments about the future and thereby stay in control.
Very easy to use
PowerProject is the choice of many companies that believe that planning is a team effort and therefore requires team tools. That is, tools which can be used by all the team members directly and which provide demonstrably valuable information whenever and wherever it is required. Powerproject is a tool which is easy to use by anyone and that means more projects, large and small, have a better chance of being successful. Ease of use is a powertool today when the technology that is essential would otherwise stand in the way of us doing a good job. Many software packages are being simplified just so they can be used. The world has realised that technology only helps if it can be used. PowerProject was always easy to use, it was always a powertool!
Preferred by Professionals
Many Professionals prefer the graphic interface because it is how they work themselves. Drawing the bars and contemplating the resources and dependencies is similar in character to the design process - an idea followed by the practical detail. Colourful charts and pictures of resources needed can be the simple difference between understanding the big picture and not. And its a lot more fun. Why not have a good time whilst you work on your clients success?
Graphics make more sense
PowerProject was the first GUI in project management and was a huge success because it embraced a world changing concept that pictures could be better than words in the business place. Until then it was all text based, dull and very time consuming. Suddenly, critical path analysis made more sense, was more accessible and was a lot more enjoyable. Since then there has been an explosion in graphical packages but none, bar none, as powerful as PowerProject.
