Welcome to 5.1!

What's New?

  • We've improved the Schedules Tab to give you better access to important schedule data, and the ability to modify the selected cost baseline.
  • Our gantt chart has been modified to show Data Date indicators, letting you see due dates at a glance.
  • Schedule Reports can now be grouped by activity or WBS codes, and even saved for later or iterative review.
  • Data load times across the board have been improved by an average of 80%

Introducing Higher Quality in your Quality Control Scores.

We've introduced new metrics and updated some old metrics that will impact your project's Quality Score to give you a more accurate view of your project's health. Many of these new metrics can also be viewed on the Schedule Analysis Component.

  • Out of Sequence activities now have variable impacts based on criticality
  • Hard Constraints now include "Start On", "Finish On", and "As Late as  Possible" constraints
  • We've added "Open Start" – an activity’s only predecessors are FF relationships – and "Open Finish" – an activity’s only successors are SS relationships – to the QC Metrics
  • High Duration updated to use Remaining Duration instead of Original Duration
  • High Float threshold has been updated to 80 days + Critical float

Gantt Charts that give you the outlooks you need.

Gantt Charts now have the ability to show Data Date indicators right in the chart so you can see at a glance your project's most important deadlines compared to other projects in your Gantt.

Like that Schedule Report? Save it.

Schedule Reports can now be grouped by WBS or Activity Code and even saved for future or iterative review over updates. You can also continue to customize your Schedule Reports using the previously introduced metrics to create reports that outline the data you need most, every time.

New Components for your Consideration.

We've updated some old components and added new components that we think will give you yet more unique looks into your schedule's composition and overview.

To select a different cost baseline, click the "edit" icon for the schedule you want to select
Toggle "cost baseline" on to set the schedule as the new cost baseline. Baseline cost curves will now reflect the values in the new schedule (visible on the cost tab)
  • Schedule Updates has been Updated to allow for a schedule to be selected as the Cost Baseline separate from the general Baseline.
  • We've introduced a Schedule Compression Component in the Schedule Analysis Tab to review the compression index and activities per day metrics over various updates.
  • The Schedules - Manage tab has been updated to provide more data fields, allowing for a complete and easy schedule matrix export.
