QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart

As with many folks I don't often script reviews but I'm drafting this just 3-days post total knee replacement. As a stand-alone App I think QPP is thet good. Additionally, QPP fits quite nicely with most all of my non-professionally based projects and integrates just as well with my professionally based projects. The integration with other Project and GTD Apps as well as email is certainly an appreciated feature. And' the 'sub-project' feature was well thought-out. Since your team has raised the bar of QPP this far, go-forward enhancements I hope the development team will also consider are: 1. A breakout TimeLine for Milestone or Other Summary (IES) or a Project Summary Level Road-Map View, if you will. 2. The ability to move a Task/Milestone under an indented project structured without the given having to be indented first. 3. Aside from being 'Project' guy I'm also a Mind-Mapper and a creature who likes features! My last recommendation is a big-stretch without a doubt, I know but here it goes. As not all projects are waterfall by nature, provide an option to build the Project Plan or WBS via a mind-mapping-like front end and provide an option for some portion of a project's functionality to include project methods that are iterative or short structured-runs. It seems like this would further broaden your appeal to those who engage in a wide-range of project management methodologies. Bill56

The problem with scheduling software is that complexity makes many people choose between guiding their project progress, or just being buried in the software itself. In fact for most people the project schedule is something that the boss expects to see from time to time and as such just another burden with no benefits for those running the project. For many PM’s, for this reason, a hand written daily punch list is what really helps them. With QuickPlan this problem is solved. Having an iPad or iPhone now the power of real and practical scheduling creation, updating, and monitoring can be effectively applied. In QuickPlan a project can be broken down into sub projects that in reality replace a punch list with a clear view of its own Gant chart, thus not loosing how this part fits into the total project. This way the PM can keep the plan at the tip of his fingers. The PM can develop schedule su project templates that make it easy to start a new schedule. At the same time he can import these sub projects to the overall project schedule to easily show the links with other activities. The ability to them save as an XML file allows the PM to update MS Project for more detail project management and progress analysis. Scheduling is really an art, and discerning what complexity to have is at the heart of creating an effective schedule. Sometimes just naming an activity and how it links to other activities is enough, and other times assigning detail resources is what is needed. Understanding this, and how it impacts how you effectively create and use a schedule is essential, and QuickPlan is ideal for quickly doing it.

Never done this before. But everyone thinks I am the master project planner. This is what technology is all about. I am now empowered with a new skill it probably took hours and hours of training and practice to master in personal computer era and months and months before that. With my project plan to redo a front entrance and lobby to an upscale senior living community I can now take the long view, but also if anything gets sticky I can dive right to the friction point and micromanage the problem until it screams. I have all the subs on board and all clearly see how their tasks link and make other tasks possible. The residents are deeply affected during this construction, and seeing each step laid out in time and linked makes them fully informed and if delays occur it will be a snap to update the chart and keep them current as to the cause of delay. It’s good to be the king. BTW I am 64, so old dogs can learn new tricks.
