Multi Project Planner

Multi-Project-Planner addresses the problem of planning, scheduling and tracking multiple concurrent projects competing for shared and scarce resources.

Besides Multi Project Planner handles the financial aspects of multi project management.

Multi Project Planner contains a master plan, where each row represents a work team, offering a set of competencies and upon which the activities of the projects are booked according to available space in time and competencies required by the activities.

This layout of the master plan directly addresses the problem of resource conflicts as they are immediately visible.

Further the layout allows an emphasis on flow of throughput over the capacity, thereby preventing sudden build up of resource demands.

Together with a lot features, the layout greatly eases the daily handling of multiple projects as well as minimizing the lead-time for the projects and finally minimizes the strains on the brains of the planner.

Planning and scheduling a project in Multi Project Planner involves these steps:

1. Create the project using Work Breakdown Structure.

2. Drag and drop the project onto the master plan, letting Multi Project Planner figure out the scheduling.

This 'Divide and conquer' strategy greatly eases the task of scheduling multiple concurrent projects competing for shared resources.
