Communicate clearly.
  • Present your schedules in familiar formats that are easy to understand—monthly calendars can be customized to show an individual's schedule or specific task lists.
  • Create plans that look great using the GanttChartWizard. It asks what your chart should look like and automatically does the formatting for you.
  • Focus on project details by adding arrows, shapes, graphics, logos, objects, or typing text directly into your Gantt Chart.
  • Choose from a variety of automatically created reports including PERT Chart, monthly Calendar, Resource Graph, Gantt Chart, Resource Usage, and Task Sheet. You can customize them to get only the information you want, such as critical or over-budget tasks, milestones, or individual employee reports.
  • Send an entire project in electronic mail to gather team feedback. Also notify team members of schedule changes when they happen.
