Project schedule tools

Project schedule tools are used to plan time-related matters required for successful project progress (project milestones, time parameters such as due dates, project metrics such as task durations, etc). There are different project schedule tools that are used for taking a complete overview of project timeline in terms of different attributes and essentials such as tasks’ assignees, priorities, costs, etc. A whole set of project schedule tools can be incorporated into one multi-purpose program (such as VIP Task Manager) which can provide you with several kinds of electronic project schedule forms. Let’s briefly consider these tools and capabilities:

• Project schedule calendar – this is a graphic representation of a schedule which is a convenient view for mapping out appointments and tasks on a time-grid.  VIP Task Manager features such a project schedule Calendar that can work in several essential regimes such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly views, and can show timeline of project events and tasks, so that you can always check what tasks and events will create your daily routine during some upcoming period of time. 

• Project schedule board – this is a table-like schedule of activities, which works as a timesheet or a columned todo-list where all the tasks are represented including their different attributes (priorities, assignments, statuses, etc). VIP Task Manager features such a project schedule table (Task List mode) where users can set out their tasks and appointments via setting data filtration (for example isolating tasks by their time period) and other interface-forming functions that will give you an appropriate layout of columns on this agile project schedule table.  

• Project schedule tree-like chart – such a tree-like project schedule board can be used in project management to get a high-level view of undertaken activities to pick up a picture of progress over the major project phases and stages. VIP Task Manager provides users with a tree-like project schedule chart (Task Tree mode) which allows project and business managers to divide their projects, business processes and daily tasks into sections and sub-sections (categories). 

• Real-time project schedule reports – these project schedule forms (Task List, Task Tree and Calendar modes) can interconnect planners of working tasks (superiors) and their performers (assigned subordinates) in real-time regime over your corporate LAN or the Internet, so that project schedule reports (on work performance and project progressing) can be delivered from doers to superiors instantly. VIP Task Manager provides you with project schedule diagrams that can be used for comparing and analyzing project facts and matters (durations, costs, etc).
