PlanningForce
PlanningForce is project management software that allows you to create projects, assign tasks, and establish skill requirements and calendars for a project. PlanningForce is a software that can be purchased for installation on your desktop that allows multi-projects to be planned and monitored at the same time. You can define projects, create task groups and milestones, define durations and their relationships and evaluate the cash income on milestones as well as various tasks. Work Breakdown Structures can be viewed as Gantt charts and give you an overall picture of the project. Categories can be used to classify tasks, allowing easy selection of tasks to be viewed. Calendars can be assigned to tasks or groups and specified for task accomplishment. The software allows you to optimize the workforce, reduce delays and penalties, save time, eliminate loss making projects and keep track of the history so that every step of the project can be referred to. The PlanningForce Express-Premium version is widely used and costs around $ 150 per computer for one year and $ 495 per computer for a lifetime license. Also, there are PlanningForce Portfolio Planner and PlanningForce Program Manager with single user licenses each costing $1495 per copy. However, before you buy, avail yourself of their trial versions.
