Key Features

• Critical Path project management planning tool, an inexpensive alternative to Microsoft Project.
• Calculates Early Start, Late Start, Early Finish, Late Finish, Float (Slack) and identifies Critical Path activities.
• Shows all project data in a \"spreadsheet\" pattern for ease of understanding.
• Data may be manually entered or imported from a file or the clipboard.
• Independent re-sizeable and hideable windows show PERT views and Gantt (bar chart) views of the project in addition to the \"spreadsheet\" view.
• Activities and links may be set up and edited in either spreadsheet or PERT views or both at once, since all views are kept synchronized.

• Links may be Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start or Finish-to-Finish to handle overlapping activities.
• Links may have minimum time lags specified.
• Individual activities may have their dates \"fixed\".

• Easy to change working/non-working days.
• Activity durations and lags may be specified as either \"working days\" or \"calendar days\" - both types may be used in the same plan.~Scale of PERT and Gantt charts are adjustable both on-screen and for printing (to make best use of pages).
• Reports, PERT charts and Gantt charts may be either printed, or copied to the clipboard for pasting into other programs.
• Each project may have its own resources list, or master resource lists may be maintained for use across projects.
• Activities may be grouped into up to three levels, with resource cost summaries available at each level.
• On a network other users may have read-only access while one user has a file open for exclusive update.
