What is proRM Project Gantt?proRM Project Gantt Overview

proRM Project Gantt is the proRM application that significantly improves your management processes by expressive visualization. Since the invention of this histogram in 1910, it is still considered the most popular and asked-for solution to visually display project activities. The proRM team has perfected it specifically to simplify your business processes and the facilitation of tracking your resource assignments and allocations.

Using proRM Project Gantt you will be able to see all projects, subprojects, work packages and milestones in a colorful and understandable format. You can easily make changes, create new items, and move or delete them using the drag and drop functionality. The application allows for having a transparent and holistic view over the progression of your projects, showing their current status, whether for individual or multiple clients. Particularly valuable is the enabling of a visualization of complex dependencies at all levels at a single glance. Classically, this type of activity causes problems of tasks overlapping, however, proRM Project Gantt offers you an optimal solution by highlighting the ultimate and most efficient Critical Path. In this way, a complex project with multiple project-phases, that requires highly structured work-packages and milestones, becomes as straightforward to plan and maintain, as a flat project with few sub-projects.

proRM Project Gantt offers you numerous possibilities for displaying the underlying information on the individual projects. If you are a MS Project user, our solution should be particularly appealing to you, because it gives you the ability to import project structures from MS Project, or vice-versa to export previously created projects from the proRM Project Gantt into MS Project. It means that proRM can work in tandem with MS Project, already a key tool for many companies – offering the additional possibility of performance recording and auditing. Even if you do not use MS Project, you can still profit from the thought-out and in-depth drill-down structure of proRM Project Gantt.

Like in other proRM applications, there is the possibility to choose and change Time Units. It allows managing in hours, days, or any other unit appropriate and suitable for your business processes. Moreover, all public holidays and weekends are handled within proRM Project Gantt. Project Managers and employees are able to take into consideration whether these

days are marked as working or non-working days, depending on your unique business requirements.

There are several good reasons to use proRM Project Gantt. They include the following benefits:

• Fast overview of the progression of all projects;

• Effective multi-project management in a single display;

• Editing of start and end dates, duration, and the planned number of allocated hours (days, etc.)

• Intuitive toolbar for efficacious working on projects;

• Visualization of the dependencies and connections between projects, project phases, work packages and milestones;

• Ascertainment of dependencies in Fixed/Ordinary, SS (Start to Start), FS (Finish to Start), FF (Finish to Finish) or SF (Start to Finish) values;

• Create and amend projects, project types, and employee allocation;

• Ability to save project templates (including complete project structures), enabling the creation of standard projects in just a few clicks; and

• Interface to MS Project for importing and exporting documents.

The Advantagesof proRM Project GanttGeneral Concept

proRM Project Gantt shows the precise project structure at any given time and helps you to stay on schedule. It takes into consideration the start and end dates of projects, as well as the tasks, the overlaps, and the dependencies. In this way, those responsible can visualize quickly and easily which project steps can run in parallel and which require prior completion of a dependent step. This helps to maintain an optimum project management process for your clients as well as for your internal use.

Constant Catchall Overviewof the Projects

With proRM Project Gantt, you get a fast and structured overview of all projects relating to one or more customers. It offers you a quick visual evaluation of the progression of all projects. You are able to have all the information you need about your client’s current status in seconds.

Moreover, if you prefer to analyze data using only table view, it is possible to hide the histogram and to continue with a full screen table. proRM Project Gantt:

Categorizing Projects in Single PhasesJust as with MS Project, proRM Project Gantt allows

categorizing projects into individual project phases, as well as defining milestones for project delivery dates and other important targets. In proRM Project Gantt, these are further highlighted using color codes and icons. They enable you to immediately identify all upcoming deadlines.

Project Connections and DependenciesThrough the establishment of processes and process-types,

you can further define the dependencies and connections between different projects. It is possible to create the types of processes - designating them as various ones set up in project management: SS (Start to Start), FS (Finish to Start), FF (Finish to Finish) or SF (Start to Finish). By additionally marking processes as O (Ordinary) or F (Fixed), any delay to sub-projects will have a corresponding effect on all linked projects and project phases. The processes can be refined further by establishing a buffer (+/-).

The Critical Path With the help of the ‘project buffers’, you can individually

define the point from which the overlapping of projects should be viewed as ‘critical’. This reduces the likelihood of an incorrect planning of resource employment, helping you to quickly identify any overlaps caused by insufficient buffers and ultimately maintain an optimum client service.

proRM Projekt Gantt: Essentieller tabellarischer Überblick

Abhängigkeiten und Zusammenhänge von Projekten

Bedingte Verknüpfung. Durch die Einrichtung von Prozessen und Prozesstypen, sind Sie in der Lage die

Abhängigkeiten und Verbindungen zwischen verschiedenen Projekten/ Phasen konkreter zu definieren. Es ist

möglich folgende Verbindungstypen zu erstellen:

SS Start zu Start

FS Ende-Anfang,

FF Fertig

SF Start-Ziel

Wenn zusätzlich Markierungen wie „Fixiert“ oder „Normal“ gesetzt werden, wirkt jede Verzögerung der

Teilprojekte entsprechend auf alle verknüpften Projekte und Projektphasen. (+ / -) Die Prozesse können durch

Einsatz eines beliebigen Puffers verfeinert werden.

Projekte in einzelnen Phasen einteilen

Meilenstein erreicht. proRM Projekt Gantt erlaubt Ihnen Ihre Projekte in unterschiedliche Phasen und Ebenen

zu unterteilen und Meilensteine einzuplanen. In proRM Projekt Gantt werden die Meilensteine farblich

hervorgehoben, so dass Sie auf einen Blick in der Lage sind, den Status zu erkennen.

Kritischer Pfad

Mit der Hilfe von “Projektpuffern” können Sie individuell einstellen, ab wann eine Überschneidung von

Projekten als “kritisch” angesehen wird. Dies erleichtert es Ihnen eine Fehlplanung Ihrer Ressourcen durch

ungenügenden Puffer zu vermeiden und hilft Ihnen dabei hohe Erwartungen Ihrer Kunden an Ihre Planung zu

erfüllen.

Import and Export to Microsoft ProjectproRM Project Gantt makes it possible to easily import files

from MS Project. With only one click, you can import created project structures from MS Project to proRM Project Gantt. Of course, this function works in both directions, allowing you to export project structures created in Project Gantt to MS Project. In addition, within the proRM Project Gantt App you can save completed project structures with project phases, sub-projects, and milestones, as well as edited and re-used templates. These possibilities make your work quicker and more efficient. As with MS Project, proRM Project Gantt permits you to establish links between projects and project phases.

The Usability of proRM Project GanttproRM Project Gantt is one of the easiest to use applications,

as it gives you a complete view of all projects just in one glance. All of them are shown in a colorful histogram, allowing you to see the start and the end dates of a project, as well as all dependencies in a clear and maximum visualized way.

It is also unbelievably convenient to use this application for improving the collaboration with customers and colleagues by printing proRM Project Gantt in different views or for example by exporting it to PDF.
