Project Task Scheduling Deployment Tips

Atlantic Global OnDemand provides a comprehensive project task scheduling solution.  The solution is very simple and easy to use and is available as both an OnDemand and OnPremise solution.  When deploying a Project Task Scheduling tool it is essential that you have clear objectives on how you wish to utilise the functionality and how the processes can be integrated into your organisation.

Project Task Scheduling features:

Atlantic Global OnDemand project task scheduling tool has been designed from the ground up to provide an easy, consistent and disciplined approach to project planning.  Our features include:

 Gantt Based Task Scheduling - our comprehensive Gantt Based Project Plan view enables users to create project lists, whereby users can view individual or multiple project plans in a single view.  Our project task scheduling software clearly displays timelines, dependencies, indents/outdents and progress.  Users are able to add new tasks, amend existing tasks, reschedule tasks and map resources all via the click of a mouse.

 Project Plan Quick Edit - for users of our project task scheduling software who are used to using tools such as MS Project or MS Excel the Project Plan Quick Edit View provides a quick and simple method for creating project plans.  Using a spreadsheet interface users can easily create multiple tasks, add dependencies and adjust task durations and status all from one screen.

 Import Project Plans - when deploying the Atlantic Global Project Task Scheduling software we recommend developing template project plans.  This way you can ensure all project managers have a consistent approach to planning including key tasks and milestones.  Atlantic Global OnDemand enables you to import single or multiple project templates to each individual project plan.

 Map Resource Assignments - a powerful feature of our project task scheduling software over conventional project planning tools is Atlantic Global's seamless integration into our resource scheduling functionality. Several resourcing methods exist from simply mapping resource assignments to tasks through to more defined processes such as allocating roles to task templates, once imported these form resource requests in the system that can be facilitated by permitted users.

 Integrated Project Reviews - our project task scheduling software is fully integrated with our timesheet tracking software allowing users to track time against tasks, milestones and assignements.  Users can provide percent complete updates allowing project managers to carry out a review into the progress of their projects from one single intuitive view.

 Inutitive Project Dashboard - Atlantic Global OnDemand also includes a comprehensive project dashboard which is your single point of navigation or your project managers.  The project dashboard provides your pm's with a graphical overview of the status of your deliverables, resources and finances.  Users can drill directly from the project dashboard into the project plan, project review, resourcing and budgeting areas of the application.
