Project planning environment built with Planner Professional allows to save enormous effort and time, but above all, it allows to ensure a cohesion of plans and reports and thus improves a quality of project management. Instead of changing a plan in several places, one change of a plan object in P2ware Planner changes and updates automatically other relations within the plan. This feature alone allows to save hundreds of hours in a mid-sized project. Planner Professional:

• is an advanced project management software for personal computers,
• contains all features required by professionals,
• allows to manage a project according to PRINCE2® or PMI® PMBOK®,
• is an excellent solution for both small companies and large enterprises managing projects individually,
• facilitates deployment of methodological project management within an organisation.

If you:

• are a professional project manager,
• require a broad range of functionalities covering all aspects such as project planning, controlling and reporting,
• are looking for a standalone, independent and intuitive project management tool,
• have not looked for a solution that integrates multiple projects and resources yet (but would probably do it soon),

or if you want to:

• manage a project according to PRINCE2® or PMI® PMBOK®,
• manage products of project and take advantages of the product-based planning,
• create effectively coherent plans and manage their execution,
• generate automatically network diagram and Gantt Chart,
• use critical path method and PERT,
• plan usage of resources,
• use plan and feeding buffers or earned value management,
