Getting value from your plans

Plans stored against your projects contain mountains of invaluable information and PROJECT in a box can help you to leverage that.  All task data from plans is held in a central database and can be viewed in a range of different analysis at Personal, Project and Portfolio levels, such as:

All my tasks - providing a list of all tasks where you are listed as a resource.  The list can also be displayed in Gantt chart arrangement and both can be ordered by a range of attributes and tasks clicked for detail.

Project or Programme Resourcing - providing a merged picture of the work allocated on all the tasks in the selected plan(s), grouped by person.  Task names provided on hover and the ability to change aspects of the analysis including period (days, weeks, months, years) or the people you want to display data for.

With all analysis once you have the view you want it is easy to export as an image or as raw data to share, discuss and work further with.  Of course you can also include these nicely formatted outputs automatically into your project and portfolio reports at the touch of a button.

Data held on the tasks, durations, completions and resource allocations can also be accessed by the Notifications engine allowing rules to be set and the system will then check all rules against all tasks at a frequency and email you to advise when the conditions that interest you are met.  For example Telling people about tasks due to start or which should have finished but not shown as complete.

Bringing together your plans

Simply add your plan as a file and list it as a planning source and the database will be automatically populated with the plans data each time a new version is checked in.

Uniquely this system works with both .mpp (Microsoft Project) files and plans built using our free excel template supporting your large and small projects alike as well as providing you with an amazing level of capability without needing to purchase Microsoft Project.

Simple administrator forms present a list of all the resource names extracted from your collection of plans and you simply assign the name from the plan to a PROJECT in a box user account.  Once this is done the user can see their list of allocated tasks and receive notifications direct to their email account, helping keep them in touch with the project.
