Planzone

Key benefits of Planzone

Planzone includes a set of tools and features designed to make your project team more efficient and creative, throughout the entire lifecycle of your projects.

> Project Management
>> Project Plan and Schedule
Define the major activities and phases of your project. Invite team members and allocate resources and record estimated time for each resource and activity. Team members can report their progress on activities.
>> Project Calendar
Get a graphical view of your project over several weeks or months. Or simply get a monthly calendar view of the work to do for the period. Navigate easily through the project calendar to anticipate key dates and immediately visualize milestones.
>> Tasks
Create tasks and assign them to one or many team members. Manage task lists, track status, automatically notify other team members when a task is completed.
>> Milestones
Create milestones and share the information with all team members. Notify the team when key dates are re-scheduled.
>> Project Templates
Get started quickly or leverage past experience and best practices by using rich project templates, including project activities, resources, tasks, documents and wiki content. Share your templates.

> Team collaboration
>> Access Rights
Define who can see or edit project information. Restrict access to some projects or make them open to all your staff to improve communications and knowledge sharing.
>> Document sharing
Centralize all your project documents in one location with our document handling feature that lets you store project files in Planzone. All team members can easily review, update and publish new documents.
>> Wiki Collaborative Workspace
Use the integrated wiki space to create online content as if you were using Microsoft Word, with contributions from all team members.
>> Discussions
A discussion is attached to a specific Planzone element such as a to-do, activity, milestone, document or project overview. This gives the whole team a tool for more relevant and faster decision-making as team members can quickly communicate on specific issues or topics related to a project element.
>> Share a page via email (private link)
All wiki pages can be shared via email. Sharing a link via email is much simpler than sending a page as an attached document. Your recipients don’t have to download any pdf or other file to see your page content.

> Project monitoring
>> Timesheets
Every day, your colleagues, partners and contractors spend time working and collaborating on projects. Timesheets enable your company to track and keep an history of completed project tasks.
>> Notifications
Get informed by email and through an online audit report of all the changes that took place in your Planzone workspace.
>> Activity Reports
Automatically receive activity reports by email, summarizing all the changes made by all the users of your Planzone workspace.
>> RSS Feeds
Secured access to RSS feeds allow you to build an intuitive multi-project dashboard with powerful tools like Netvibes. Get instant visibility on task lists or wiki changes.
>> Personal to-do list
To help you managing your daily workload, you have a personal to-do list that aggregates all to-dos which are assigned to you.
>> Personal Schedule
See at once all your tasks and activities in a common dashboard for all your projects.

> Data import/export
>> MS Project import
You can create a new project timeline in Planzone by importing your MSP file. In a couple of minutes, you are able to import all MS project data into Planzone.

Export project, task and milestone data in Microsoft Excel format for tailored reporting and information sharing outside of your project team.
