Google Drive documents can be linked to tasks and resources in the schedule for convenience. Sharing a schedule file in Google Drive makes it possible to work remotely together on the same schedule in real-time. https://youtu.be/H4c7IJxTjEM https://img.youtube.com/vi/2eRU8soHl3o/0.jpg Create a project schedule with all required tasks and dependencies A project schedule requires a top-down breakdown of products and activities in order to cover the complete scope. These tasks may depend on each other in completion order. Using these dependencies and estimated task durations, ProjectWork calculates the shortest schedule using the Critical Path Method. This schedule is visualized in a Gantt chart, showing the task's start and finish dates as bars against a timeline and dependencies as arrows. https://youtu.be/2eRU8soHl3o https://img.youtube.com/vi/cGw9X5N9rpw/0.jpg Calculate project budget based on estimated work and assigned resources A project budget can be calculated by assigning resources to tasks in the schedule. Depending on the type of resource, the cost per task can be calculated. Work type resources are priced per hour of work. ProjectWork calculates the cost per task, per summary task, resource and complete project. https://youtu.be/cGw9X5N9rpw https://img.youtube.com/vi/KZ8GcMKD_E0/0.jpg Make project schedule and progress visible in a schedule chart When you have finished your project planning, you can execute it. To see whether progress is in line with the plan, you keep track of the progress per task. ProjectWork will show the progress as a bar in the Gantt chart. Because the progress of tasks on the critical path determines the progress of the entire project, these task can be highlighted in the Gantt chart. https://youtu.be/KZ8GcMKD_E0 https://img.youtube.com/vi/jquxNMU5-hk/0.jpg Create a project template for planning repeating similar work Templates for creating a project schedule can be useful as a starting point. They become even more useful if they include building blocks that can be re-used. These blocks are created by saving copied clipboard as part of the schedule. A rollout planning can be made where the building blocks are pasted and scaled per configuration. https://youtu.be/jquxNMU5-hk https://img.youtube.com/vi/0au1YRa4fWk/0.jpg Compare planned and actual project task completion in Google Sheets When executing a project schedule, knowing the status of the project is essential to define corrective actions. ProjectWork can summarize the status in a report using the Earned Value Management (EVM) against a saved baseline of the planning. It can also synchronize the schedule with a Google Sheet where you can perform your own calculations. https://youtu.be/0au1YRa4fWk https://img.youtube.com/vi/z0K0MtzMIeA/0.jpg Post and discuss a project schedule view in Google Chat Discussing a project in a chat tool among project members can be useful. ProjectWork can link a Chat space or Slack channel to your account and schedule. When you discus multiple projects and not real-time, it must be clear what schedule you are talking about. When you post a message from ProjectWork, the project schedule and actual view are included. https://youtu.be/z0K0MtzMIeA https://img.youtube.com/vi/QjFuyqrztgo/0.jpg Publish and share a project schedule with stakeholders in Google Sites When you publish a schedule it is like printing, it is for viewing only and cannot be changed. In ProjectWork you publish the schedule as HTML code. This code can be entered in a Google Site. The access to the site can be public on the internet or restricted to applicable stakeholders that need to sign in first like an intranet. https://youtu.be/QjFuyqrztgo https://img.youtube.com/vi/5fIHTOMDxx8/0.jpg Create and update project milestones in Google Calendar Not missing a planned milestone is crucial in order not to cause project delay. ProjectWork has the ability to publish project milestones in the Google Calendar of stakeholders. When milestones are moved, ProjectWork can update the milestone dates. ProjectWork can also publish milestones of various projects in one common calendar. https://youtu.be/5fIHTOMDxx8 https://img.youtube.com/vi/q_5q0rmo3Ps/0.jpg Update a project schedule that exceeds its available resource capacity When you create a schedule, simultaneous tasks using the same resource can cause the available resource capacity to be exceeded. ProjectWork shows this in the Capacity chart and can level the schedule by shifting tasks causing minimum project delay. https://youtu.be/q_5q0rmo3Ps https://img.youtube.com/vi/RAPnJo3u034/0.jpg Get a reliable project end date with uncertain duration estimates A project schedule is based on estimated task durations, task dependencies and constraints. The durations are estimates with more or less uncertainty, depending on experience. ProjectWork uses Monte Carlo simulation to calculate project end dates with confidence levels. This gives a more realistic result than adding the worst case estimates. https://youtu.be/RAPnJo3u034
