Overview
Project Planner provides simple and assisted iterative planning, execution and monitoring of projects. It helps collaborators to accelerate the time from idea to delivery through lean collaborative planning and execution.
Project Planner captures innovation tasks and deliverables into projects where team leaders invite team members to collaborate with ad-hoc access rights.
Organize your projects on the cloud
A flexible, team-based and collaborative approach dynamically builds up the project network from team activities. Team members rapidly define, refine and complete their tasks and deliverables through continuous planning and execution. Project Planner delivers an innovative engine that automatically schedules and optimizes project activities to meet key milestones and delivery dates, providing real time updates and notifications to team members.
The Project Planner allows 3DEXPERIENCE users to:
- Accelerate time from idea to delivery
- Improve team productivity
- Securely collaborate with team members through ad-hoc access rights
- Connect attachments and deliverables to tasks for review by team members
- Define project scope, min-max task durations, dependencies and milestones
- Automatically schedule and optimize planning activities and resources to meet key milestones
- Keep up with the progress and work to be done from anywhere with real time notifications
- Access anywhere, anytime through a cloud, in-app and mobile experience
Capabilities
Enable teams to plan and monitor project status in real time by sharing tasks and defining deliverables, dependencies, and key milestones
TEAM PROJECT PLANNING
Schedule Management
To reduce the complexity of today’s product development projects, users can decompose activities into smaller manageable projects and optimize teamwork. The scheduler engine automatically optimizes the schedule to meet project constraints and resource availability. Project Planner delivers all schedule changes to all project members in real-time.
Schedule View
Schedule view provides an easy way to review and edit the project schedule in a graphical view. Tasks and milestones display as bar charts on a timeline. The user can drag & drop tasks and milestones along the timeline, create dependencies between them, and modify information using touch-based gestures or a traditional mouse.
Access Rights Management
The project plan owner invites team members to participate in the project through various levels of access rights (Viewer, Author or Leader). Project Planner maintains access rights to task deliverables and attachments by using the security definition of the platform (People & Organization security definition consisting of Collaborative Space, Role, and Organization).
TEAM PROJECT EXECUTION
Project Tasks
By associating project deliverables to a project or a task, all project members can readily track their status. Project leaders receive notifications when tasks or milestones are late. The system highlights late and critical / compressed tasks in the Task View with colored pictograms. Project members can also collaborate on tasks using embedded 3DComments and other collaboration services.
Project Content Management
Attachments (inputs for task execution) and deliverables (outputs of completed tasks) can be associated to the project itself and to individual project tasks. Task assignees can connect attachments and deliverables from 3DDrive, 3DSpace and 3DSwYm, and the latest iteration is always available for review by team members – provided they have the appropriate security access rights.
